This program is available to players who will be in Grades 4 – 8 in the FALL of 2022. To confirm what age group you should register your child for, review the LUSC Age Group Policy.
Players are required to wear the official jersey, shorts and socks to all games. They are also required to have a LUSC pinnie for practices. Please note: Fall 2022 is the LAST season we will use the current LUSC kit. In Spring of 23, ALL PLAYERS will be REQUIRED to purchase a new kit. If you are able to make due with the uniform pieces you have for this Fall, please consider waiting to purchase items until the Spring season.
If needed, you can order the uniform pieces during the Travel registration process. For more information, the LUSC Uniform Information page.
Please also see our Late Fee & Refund Policy and Scholarship/Fee Waiver Policy pages.
LUSC is pleased to be able to offer a Fall Soccer Travel program, but we will always prioritize the health and safety of our children, volunteer coaches, and professional coaching staff. We will continue to follow state and local guidelines, and reserve the right to change the structure of the program to align with regulations.
HIGH SCHOOL: Grades 9-12/U15-U18 – $120
LUSC is excited to offer a spring BAYS season for high school age players! BAYS is offering both mixed grade/age D1 and D2 11v11 divisions and more recreational 7v7 D3. The final LUSC team structure(s) will be determined by the number of registrants.
Sunday games and 1 weekly team practice
Dates: 7 weeks, Apr 24th – June 12th, 2022 (no program Memorial Day weekend)
Placement not guaranteed after deadline.
All High School players are required to wear the LUSC uniform kit which can be ordered during registration if you don’t have one. For more information, see: https://lexingtonunited.org/lusc-uniform-information/
Deadline to register: March 14th, 2022.
Like all of our LUSC BAYS offerings, we rely on volunteer coaches to make this happen. In this case, we will need a coach or two for each team. We would appreciate a volunteer for the boys and for the girls who would be willing to work with a LUSC representative to help place teams in the appropriate divisions.
This program will follow all LUSC Covid Safety Protocols. Please review here before registering. (https://lexingtonunited.org/lusc-covid-19-protocols/)

Boston Area Youth Soccer
BAYS is organized into four divisions, with Division 1 being the most competitive. Each division is further stratified into section A, B, C, etc., with section A being the most competitive. Accordingly, LUSC stratifies its players onto teams according to ability, and places teams in the appropriate BAYS division/section to achieve a competitive challenge. A player’s ability is judged based on evaluations by outside coaches held in May (November for U9), supplemented by rankings from LUSC coaches based on team play; the process is described in detail here: Team Formation. When BAYS forms sections of teams that will play against each other, their first priority is to group teams by ability. Beyond this, they place teams geographically to minimize travel distances. Typically, LUSC teams do not travel beyond the following perimeter: Winchester and Cambridge to the east, Bedford and Acton to the northwest, Marlboro and Framingham to the southwest, and Needham and Brookline to the south. Division 3 and 4 teams tend to have even shorter travel distances: Arlington, Bedford, Winchester, Belmont, etc.
Registration
All players who register for travel by the registration deadline will be accommodated. After the deadline, placement cannot be guaranteed, and will depend on team sizes. Players who cannot be accommodated may choose to play LUSC in-town soccer, for those age groups where it is offered.
