Hi 3rd Grade Soccer Families,
[This email is being sent to all 2nd-4th graders in an effort to reach all the 3rd graders in the system.]
In the spring of 3rd grade, LUSC families begin to have the option of having their child participate in either in-town or travel soccer (see note below about choosing). For spring 2020 travel soccer, LUSC will be conducting its 3rd grade/U9 player evaluation session on Saturday, October 19th at Center Baseball and Softball Fields (90 Worthen Road).
If your child does decide to participate in the travel program for the coming spring, it is important that you make every effort possible to have him or her participate in the evaluation. The data collected will be a critical component for proper team placement. Note: This session is for 3rd grade players only.
Evaluation times:
- 3rd Grade Girls: Saturday, 10/19/2019
All: 1:00pm-2:30pm
- 3rd Grade Boys: Saturday, 10/19/2019
Last names A-L: 2:30pm-4:00pm
Last names M-Z: 4:00pm-5:30pm
Please arrive 20 minutes ahead of time and sign in (look for the table near the field). Your child must sign in to participate.
There is no fee associated with the evaluation.
Participating in the evaluation is not the same as registering for the spring 2020 travel program. Registration for the spring 2020 travel soccer will open within the next month at https://lexingtonunited.org A player must be registered by the registration deadline (December 1) in order to guarantee a spot on a travel team.
Please Note: This is an evaluation not a tryout! The difference is that no player is “cut” or excluded from playing travel soccer. LUSC will offer as many travel teams in the 3rd grade age group as registration numbers dictate. However, the evaluations are vital in that they help place the players on the proper team from a skill-based standpoint. Having proper skill-based teams helps aid in the continued development and enjoyment of those that choose to play travel soccer.
Please see additional information below regarding the format, frequently asked questions and the choice between travel and in-town soccer. Thanks for considering the programs we are offering this season. Please select the appropriate program from an enjoyment, development and commitment standpoint.
Sincerely,
Brendan Donahue
LUSC DOC
