LYSA’s
Fall Recreational Soccer offers a place for novice and experienced
players. All players ages 4 through 15 as of July 31st who register
will be placed on a team based on age. Teams generally consist of a
mix of novice and experienced players. Experienced/competitive
players are distributed to ensure an even playing field in the
Recreational Season. Teams are assembled with a goal of even player
distribution so there is not one “strong” team in any age group.
Our philosophy for our Recreational Season is to create a fun and
educational season for all players with an emphasis on “fun”.
Our Fall Season
starts in late August and runs through late October. Games are all
on Saturdays. Practices are generally once a week in the early
evening during the week. Game and Practice Schedules and Locations
are not published until mid August. LYSA graciously accepts the
hospitality of the Town of Lincoln and the Parks and Rec. Department
to use it’s fields for our games. LYSA applies for field permits at
the appropriate time and generally receives field permits in mid
August. We then develop field and game time schedules and publish
them on our website.
Registration for our
Fall Season is held in May. On-line Registration will be made
available on our website and payment is accepted on-line (MC/Visa)
or mail in check. All players MUST be registered during the
registration period and NO late registrations are allowed. We
historically have over 600 players every year. We need 8 weeks to
organize needed Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Sponsors, Uniforms and
Schedules for these 600 players, 60 teams and 120 coaches. Once
this is done and teams are built from registered players, it is
difficult and unfair to try to add late players. We do allow late
players who just moved to town so they can quickly get involved in
community activities.
The Fee for Fall
Rec. is $50.00 per player with a $120.00 max per family. We do all
we can to keep the cost as low as possible. The fee covers player
insurance as well as a uniform. The uniform includes a t-shirt,
shorts and socks. Players must provide shin guards and outdoor
cleats. Player fees also help pay for equipment, referee fees and
first aid kits.
LYSA does not offer
a Competitive Season in the Fall.
Again, our goal for
Fall Recreational is “FUN”. We hope you can join us!!!!
