Spring College ID Camp

Marquette University men's soccer coach Louis Bennett and his staff will be holding their spring annual Day Camp. The one-day clinic will be used to identify potential student athletes.

7v7 English Style Outdoor Tournament

Four teams will be invited to play a round robin style tournament with top two seed advancing to a final match. Lower goals will be used (8ft x 4ft) on an 80ydsx37yds field. Some of the rules include no offsides and ball cannot be kicked above referee's head height. Group Play will be played before a MU exhibition match and the Final Match will be played after the MU game.

Men's Summer League

The matches are nothing more than organized pickup games. The teams are picked randomly at the start of each night. Summer League T-shirts and pinnies are the kits. The last man back on defense plays goalkeeper. Games involve three sessions of 25 minutes, separated by much-needed five-minute breaks. There's a warm-up run around the pitch to start and, occasionally, an abdominal workout to finish.

Overnight High School Elite Camp

This is a program that we will run as a college pre-season camp to prepare you for the upcoming season and to give you the opportunity to showcase your talents to our coaching staff. There will be plenty of playing and we are excited and curious to see how you will perform. As you notice with the schedule below this camp will be very intense and competitive and geared towards the Elite High School player.

U11-U13 Full Day Summer Camp

Marquette University men's soccer staff will hold a summer full day youth camp (U11-U13).

U8-U14 Full Day Summer Camp

Marquette University men's soccer staff will hold a summer half day or full day youth camp for any level (U8-U14).

What is Futsal?

Futsal is the official five-a-side indoor soccer game and the only indoor soccer recognized by FIFA. Futsal is beginning to take the country by storm as more and more soccer players, coaches, clubs and associations discover the unique and positive qualities of Futsal. It is a game played around the world as many of today's world stars began their youth soccer by playing Futsal. The Brazilians attribute their world soccer success to Futsal. Pele, Zico, Socrates, Ronaldo and Bebeto grew up playing Futsal and credit Futsal with developing their skills.

Futsal is a small-sided game (5v5 including the goalkeepers) played on a small field roughly the size of a basketball court. The game does not require the use of dasher boards. It is played with the touchline boundaries with no walls to bang the ball against. The official ball is a special low bounce ball that is heavier and smaller than an official size 5 soccer ball. The ball forces a player to use their skill rather than the ball's bounce to propel it. It is a complete skill game. Futsal develops the overall fundamentals of soccer more effectively. It has been proven that youth players develop quicker reflexes, faster thinking and pinpoint passing. It is a superior game in terms of establishing players' touch and technique.

As compared to the American indoor game where a player relies on utilizing the walls, Futsal forces a player to think two or three steps ahead without using the walls. One touch passing is essential in maintaining ball possession on a smaller surface. Therefore, an individual's overall ball handling skills and off the ball movement enhance considerably. When a player gets in trouble with the ball, there is no whacking it off the wall. Their split second thinking improves automatically as one learns how to maintain possession and distribute the ball quickly. Shots must be more accurate, since a shot off target will not produce a rebound. More shots are also taken during the course of a game, which will enhance a player's confidence, by taking on a defender and shooting quickly. A player does not have as much space or time to dribble with the ball. Futsal helps to develop tremendous close quarter's footwork.

Futsal League

League for select boys (U10-U14) soccer affiliated clubs, official FIFA Futsal rules. Teams will play an Intro-tournament prior to the league to be more familiar with the rules and the game. Teams will play the league from Nov - Feb.

High School ID Futsal Camp

Marquette University men's soccer coach Louis Bennett and his staff will be holding their annual HS Futsal ID Camp. The one-day clinic is intended to find prospect student athletes.

V Spring Classic Futsal Tournament

Tournament for boys (U10-U14) and girls (U11-U14), Futsal rules will be used. *Teams will received (8) Marquette Soccer school T-shirts to be used as uniform. Teams will choose the color of t-shirts after registration.
