The USC Futsal Club is divided into two levels of membership: Club and Team. Both levels operate under the direction of coach Lui Oliveira of Brazil, a soccer and futsal trainer and former professional futsal player.
Club Membership is for people who are interested in playing recreationally or occasionally. The Club offers trainings once a week and welcomes new members at any time of the year. If you are interested in enhancing your fitness, becoming a better player, or just transitioning to futsal from a soccer background, playing as part of the Club is a great option.
Team Membership is for people who are interested in training competitively. The Team holds a competitive tryout at the beginning of each academic year from which 12 players are selected. The Team practices twice a week, competes in weekly league games from around mid-October to the end of March, and attends occasional regional tournaments.
All practices are at the University of Southern California’s PED South gym unless otherwise noted. USC Futsal also plays pickup games at the Hollywood Sports Complex, beach soccer in Los Angeles and Orange County, and street soccer at various locations.
To become a member of USC Futsal for 2007-2008 or to learn when and where our next event is, please email futsal@usc.edu.
