We focus on giving each youth enormous encouragement and enthusiasm, while promoting community pride and allowing youth to have fun while learning the game of football.
Our objectives are to establish an interest in academics as well as athletics, encourage students to stay in school and plan to attend college, create high self-esteem in at-risk children, promote sportsmanship and professionalism, create opportunities for collegiate and professional scouts to evaluate student athletes and to establish annual tournaments in the City of Lynwood and surrounding communities.

We at Lynwood Athletics Community Services (LACS) see ourselves in partnership with law- enforcement agencies, hospitals, schools, churches and other youth serving agencies. We share a mutual concern for the development and success of our youth. We at Lynwood Athletics Community Services view the task of educating our youth as a monumental one. Everyone who has access to our children's growth is an educator. Everyone who influences our children assumes educational responsibility. Lynwood Athletics Community Services calls for redistribution of responsibility so that the education of our youth is mutually shared among all that influence the lives of our youth.
We will assist any youth agencies and area schools with the following:
- Athletic & Academic Counseling
- Mentoring
- Career readiness
- Motivation
- Self esteem enhancement
- School drop-out prevention
- Parent participation
- Service as a committee
Our collective strengths at LACS include an extensive background in psychology, ethnic relations, child development, fund raising, working with trouble youth, recreation and physical training.
Please allow us to introduce you to our staff and the numerous accolades that accompany them.
Sincerely,
President, Eugene Jackson
