THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE LAVALE SOCCER CLUB RECREATIONAL PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AS MANY KIDS AS POSSIBLE TO PLAY THE GREAT GAME OF SOCCER.

Teams are parent-coached and teams are formed using a mixture of player requests and placing both experienced and new players equally amongst teams in an attempt to make competitively equal teams.  This allows for a more educational and enjoyable playing experience for all.   

Our age groups are broken down as follows:

Academy -  Born  2018, 2019 

(U6 players with no previous soccer experience will be placed in the Academy, U8 players with no previous soccer experience are encouraged to attend 1 night of Academy Training per week.)

The cost for the Fall season is $50 for the Academy and $65 for all other age groups. This registration fee includes insurance, field usage and maintenance, jerseys, referee fees, and an end of season gift to the players.  We also offer a $10 discount for multi-child families, this discount does not apply to those in the Academy.  

There have been many questions recently with the rise in Covid cases. The board has decided in an abundance of caution, to reinstate the protocols which were in place during our last spring and fall seasons. 

• Everyone should wear a mask when walking from cars to fields.
• Please social distance while on the sidelines.
• Players on sidelines not actively playing should wear a mask when possible and if they are not socially distanced.
• Coaches will wear masks at all times
• Players on the field DO NOT need to wear a mask while actively playing
• DO NOT share jerseys or pinnies - have players bring their own white shirt or different color than opposing team for goalies
• Coaches please use hand sanitizer on players after games/practice and sanitize equipment when it is returned to the sheds.
• If you or someone in your household tests positive, contact your coach ASAP so we can determine if the team needs to quarantine.
• If you feel sick or have symptoms STAY HOME

These are the guidelines we had in place for fall and spring and we had great success with compliance and the season as a whole. We know the situation is changing daily and are doing our best to be proactive in keeping our players and families safe. We want everyone to have a fun and safe season. Please also check facebook for live session videos and Q&A segments regarding Covid and other safety measures.

Thank you for your dedication. We know that when everyone works together and looks out for each other our players have a safe and fun place to enjoy soccer.
