Spring Soccer – LYSA will create as many teams as needed depending on the number of players to sign up. Currently LYSA anticipates we will have the following options available each spring. Age Division Overview (TBD) plus the U5 Academy.
Spring Academy (Ages 4-5)
- Players in the U5 Academy meet once a week for practices and have games Saturday mornings
- Players work on fun, simple activities to introduce core soccer skills (dribbling, passing, etc.)
- Players are on one “team” and will be split up for games using colored pinnies
- This age group will use a Size 3 ball
Recreation (Rec) League (Ages 6-19)
- All games are in Lebanon at Reese Park and no travel is involved
- Starting 2025 all teams will be split for boys and girls teams (no coed)
- Each team will play 8 games, with all scheduled games on Saturdays (morning session and afternoon session)
- The end of season picnic (date tbd) will host fun games for the players, as well as food and trophies!
- All players will play in every game for over half of the time. Players are here to get game time and improve their game. Creating good, confident players is key, not winning!
