Overview

The Blue Marauders tells the story of Nick and Erik, soccer players from a small town, who form a travel soccer team to compete in the Tri-State League. They find that competing against the well-organized, well-financed soccer powers that run the league is more challenging than they had anticipated. Besides finding a field, a coach, and a few extra players, Nick and Erik and their teammates need to stop fighting and learn to trust each other - a task complicated by personality clashes, social divisions, academic struggles and a budding interest in girls.
