Program
Overview
The Lacey Soccer Club runs a weekly Instructional / Recreation program for children ages 4 through 10, to play in both Fall and Spring Soccer seasons. Open Registration is held every Spring. At the age of 8, children have the option to try out for the Club Travel Team. Anyone not qualifying for the team or choosing not to tryout will be placed back in the Recreation Program. At age 10, all children must move to a Traveling Team. The sections below contain an overivew of our Recreation Program and Roles and Responsibilities of the Directors responsible for it's success.
We are
spending a lot of time and energy in making sure that the rules, guidelines, and
participation requirements not only meet United States Youth Soccer Guidelines,
but will ensure the proper environment for all participants to be able to learn
the skill development necessary to compete at the traveling age, develop the
decision making ability necessary to compete at the traveling age, and most of
all, to ENJOY THE GAME, so that they
will want to reach the necessary levels to compete at the traveling age.
We have a lot of
programs and resources available to instructional age players and offer the
finest training from the finest trainers and companies in the area. It is our
desire to facilitate the learning process of every child from four through ten
years old to ensure that they have best chance at succeeding not only in soccer,
but in every endeavor they take.
