Spring

Welcome to the La Crescent Lightning spring recreational youth soccer program. This is a recreational (play for fun) program designed for all youth ages 6-17 who have an interest in soccer. More than 400 youth and parents from La Crescent each year have helped make this program a great success. The U6 and U7 program will be kept in-house and held at the Old Hickory Park facility on Saturday mornings. U8 and up games are played between local communities on weekends and practices are held after school or early evenings one or two nights a week based on age and field availability.

The game schedule for 2009 the season will begin approximately mid-April and conclude in mid-May. As in the past, there will be a special in house tournament held in late May at the Field For Kids in La Crosse WI.

Registration fees will be posted soon! These fees include a fundraising item for all players and special items for the U6-7 players. Jerseys are supplied and returned at the end of the season. Players must provide black shorts, shin guards, soccer cleats and socks. Socks and other spirit wear will be available for purchase at the parent meeting in March.

Volunteer coaches and parent coordinators are always needed. Please contact Kathy Duerwachter (kathydee_1@msn.com or 507-895-3845) if you're interested in coaching or helping coordinate team activities.
