These programs are subject to change but are provided here to give you a snapshot of our typical offerings. All clinics will be overseen by LUSC DOC, Brendan Donahue and assisted by the same professional coaches that help coach our fall and spring team practices. There will be additional staff hired by the DOC to ensure a high quality of instruction. The clinics will maintain a coach to player ratio of 12 to 1. The clinics will be focusing on teaching a number of age-appropriate technical soccer skills. While the focus will be on skill development, this will be done in an enjoyable teaching environment using fun, small-sided games.
NOTE: Please review our Refund Policy.
Vacation Clinics
These clinics during one week, (Friday may be a rain date for July and August). April and August clinics run 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, and June and July run 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. The clinics will serve players of all abilities, whether they are a top travel player or a recreation player who just enjoys running around on a field with ball.

Summer Skills Sessions:
LUSC is pleased to announce a four week Summer Skills Session for rising 4th through 8th graders starting Tuesday July 28th. We are pleased to be able to offer this program but will have a tight time frame for registration, which will be open through Sunday July 26th. We will 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. These sessions will be non-contact and will follow the summary of our safety protocols and sample field layout provided at https://lexingtonunited.org/lusc-player-clinic-protocol-2/
To be able to offer these sessions in compliance with the safety guidelines, we will need an adult volunteer for each group of 22 players to serve as Field Coordinator for each age group. The Field Coordinator needs to be a LUSC coach or volunteer with a current MYSA adult registration. Without these, the sessions won’t happen. If you are able to help out with an evening your child plans to register for, or any other evening, please contact Matt Keis at matthewkeis83@gmail.com.
