Lincoln Youth Soccer: Lincoln Soccer News

This Wednesday, September 30th from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm there will be a goalie clinic offered to all children in Grades 3 - 8.

This will be held at Paddock Field (Center Field).The clinic will be run by Lewis of B.E.S.T soccer who was a professional goal keeper in the UK. His career was cut short by an injury.

I recommend that every child make an effort to attend this clinic who has interest in being a goalie. Any questions, please call Katie Bigelow at 781-259-8378. 

Dear LYS Parents,

Lincoln Youth Soccer hires an English soccer coach through BEST soccer each year to live with a Lincoln family and provide soccer coaching to our Lincoln soccer teams. This fall, Lewis Power-Stannard is our English soccer coach. His contact information is below. 

In addition to helping the parent coaches periodically on Saturday, Lewis has agreed to provide our in-town soccer players with a skills session from 3-4:30 each Wednesday, beginning next week, at Paddock field, near the tennis courts. These skills sessions are a very helpful and fun way for the players to develop their fundamental soccer skills.

Please take advantage of this terrific resource.I look forward to a fun and productive in-town soccer year.

All the best,

Chris Perry

WELCOME TO IN-TOWN SOCCER!If you are parent of a kindergarten through second grader who might be interested in Lincoln Youth Soccer, read on! Lincoln In-Town Soccer has been providing a fun way for young players to have fun, develop fundamental soccer skills such as passing and ball handling, and learn to play as a team for more than thirty years.The Pre-K In-Town Soccer program is only offered in the Spring.

IN-TOWN SPRING SOCCER BEGINS 9/19/2009. Lincoln In-Town Soccer will start up again on Saturday, September 19th. Second Graders will begin at 8:30 a.m. and meet at Paddock Field (near the tennis courts on the center field). Kindergarteners and First Graders will begin at 9 a.m. and meet on the Smith Field.

SMALL TEAMS: Each In-Town Soccer player plays on a small team of 6-8 players of his or her peers. Each team will have its own name and its own T-shirt. The benefits of the small teams are that players get more touches on the ball, they have a stronger sense of playing with a team, they learn the feel of team soccer…and the T-shirts are cool! We try to make the teams evenly weighted in terms of girls and boys and skill levels.

FORMAT OF EACH PRACTICE: Practices for kindergarten and first grade teams last from 9-10 a.m. on Saturday mornings during the fall and spring. For second graders, practices start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 10 a.m. Parent volunteers coach the teams. The practice format is roughly as follows: a group fun run followed perhaps by large group activities and games (10-15 minutes); water break if it is hot (5 minutes); divide into small teams for skills-oriented games (i.e., dribble around cones, moving and passing, one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three, shooting, etc.) (15 minutes); water break (5 minutes); scrimmage, either within a small team, or between members of two different small teams, but always limiting the number of players in each game to six in total – three per side (or four-on-four at the very most) (15-20 minutes); coach pep talk at the end (2 minutes).

REGISTRATION: If you have not registered your child for In-Town Soccer, please do so through the registration link on the web site.I hope to see you on Saturday mornings.
