LFSA for U08-U10 Teams
Every year LFSA conducts tryouts in the spring to place players on an appropriate travel team. The placement is determined by a player's age and skill. After tryouts are complete, our club will contact you directly to let you know the outcome of your child's tryout. The season starts in mid August 2026 and ends June 2027.
Teams will be formed based on the new US Soccer age groups that use the August 1 - July 31 time frame. Players who were born after August 1st can be selected to "play up" at the discretion of the Director of Coaching and coaching staff during tryouts.
