"LFSA ,once again, to field U13-U18 Teams for 2010-2011 Season!”
For full article, see Headlines below.
For the first time since 2006, Lake Forest Soccer Association will be returning to its roots by fielding teams for all age levels from U8 through high school. This had been LFSA’s practice since our inception in 1987; however, for the past three years, LFSA has not fielded teams after the U12 level. After listening to our families, reflecting on our mission statement and thoughtful deliberation, the LFSA Board and coaches have decided to expand our age levels to more fully support our mission statement:
“The Lake Forest Soccer Association will provide a competitive, community based, travel, youth soccer program dedicated to the development of highly skilled players under the direction of professional trainers. We will encourage sportsmanship, teamwork and a passion for the game.”
LFSA is committed to participating in tournaments that suit our teams’ needs and interests from a competitive, exposure and family preference perspective. This will likely involve returning to tournaments such as the WAGS, NOMADS, San Diego Surf Cup, and SC del Sol President’s Day Cup as well as maintaining our current attendance at statewide and more local tournaments.
While we are primarily community based, we have many players who commute from other cities such as Mundelein, Gurnee, Waukegan, Deerfield, Lincolnshire and Highland Park among others. We will still continue to welcome those from other communities who desire the execution of our philosophies.
We are confident that returning to an operating model that better supports our mission will allow all of our players to develop and grow so that each child can be the best that they can be.
Go Scouts!
Keith Martino - President, Lake Forest Soccer Association
