For over 35 years, Marion Soccer Inc has offered a family friendly, youth oriented, recreational soccer program. MSI is a non-profit soccer organization for Pre-K through 8th Grade, is a not-for-profit organization with no paid staff, and all funds from registration, tournaments, and concession sales go back into the program. Recreational soccer is available to all players between Pre-K and 6th Grade, and SIMSS is offered for 5th through 8th grade players, with 7th and 8th graders playing in the SIMSS soccer program. MSI is open to all children from Pre-K to 8th Grade based on age as of January 1st of that year, and the SIMSS program practices as a group representing Marion and plays other middle school aged teams from towns in the Southern Illinois area. Marion Soccer Inc hosts the Marion Whirlwind Cup on the first weekend in May and the Marion Fall Soccer Spooktacular during the last weekend of October, and also hosts 2 annual tournaments with as many as 1500 parents, coaches, and players participating from around the region. MSI is the only organization in the local tri-state area that pays for its All-Star teams to play in a minimum of two tournaments each season as well as the All-Star uniforms.
The mission of the Marion Soccer Inc. Board of Directors is to provide a model youth soccer program responsible for the promotion and development of the game of soccer in the greater Marion, Illinois area, valuing families, players, coaches, referees, and sponsors, and striving to foster self-improvement by encouraging commitment, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership through education, providing safe and positive social interaction, demonstrating respect, loyalty, integrity, and forming relationships where all participants have a true sense of ownership to the sport and spirit of soccer.
Every child needs shin guards and soccer cleats, and referees will not let players take the field without them. Kids must have cleats designed for soccer, and on soccer cleats there is never a single cleat at the very front tip.
