Stauffer Headed to Brazil with National Futsal Team
BU16DA midfielder, Luke Stauffer, is gearing up to head to Brazil this coming Saturday to represent the United States in the 2011 Gran Prix of Futsal. At 16, Luke is the youngest player on the roster for the United States. He will earn at least five international caps while playing in Manaus, Brazil.
Last week Stauffer attended the U.S. Full National Team camp with 20 other men, all fighting for a spot to play in Brazil for the United States. The camp was held at South Coast Soccer City in Torrence, California. ”I was the youngest one there, and didn’t know what to expect,” said Stauffer. The players participated in two training sessions each day for four days. Stauffer was unsure of his future at the end of the camp, but was soon called into the coaches office where he was given the exciting news that he would be representing his country in Brazil. ” This has been a dream of mine since I touched a soccer ball!”
