Soccer
LPYAA Soccer is a youth soccer program for children Ages 1-4 yr. old and Kindergarten through 6th grade. It is intended to build basic soccer skills, competitive skills and have fun.
Our program is skills based, and consequently concentrate on the little things in soccer, such as individual moves, passing, shooting, and working with teammates. We plan practices so that scrimmage time is equal to skills practice time. Our goal is to instruct in such a manner that all players learn so they will be successful at their next level of play.
Practices begin August 26.
