How Well Do Lakeshore Premier SC Teams Compete?

Lakeshore Premier SC is not quite two years-old, yet our teams have compiled an impressive 111-40-32 record in their respective league play since the club began. 

On average, our teams either win or tie 80% of their matches.

While it's helpful to keep track of such statistics, soccer to this club is about more than winning and losing, as we are focused on developing players as individuals who then work together as a team.  By any measure, the combined records of our teams represents the success  of our philosophy that combines a highly competitive environment, with skilled coaches who help players achieve their developmental goals

As we enter our third year, the "new wave of soccer" in west Michigan is becoming a tidal wave of great soccer, conveniently accessible, affordably priced and challenging for the most talented of players.

Check out our FAQ to learn more!

U16 Girls - Making the Grade (and then some)!

Lakeshore Premier SC believes when competing against better players and teams at the higher level of the Michigan State Premier Soccer League, our players become better themselves.  This coupled with the training and competitive environment at Lakeshore Premier SC affords players the opportunity to improve their skills as they prepare for high school soccer and beyond.

And example of how this philosophy manifests itself in player development is shown with the Lakeshore Premier SC U16 girls team.  Of the five girls on that team who are freshman in high school this spring, three made their varsity team and two made their JV team. 

And what’s just as exciting, of the 12 girls who are sophomores this spring, two made their school’s JV team and 10 made their school’s varsity team!  All the U16 girls who tried out for the teams at their respective schools made those teams, with most playing above their current grade!

Congratulations to all the girls and best of luck as they begin the spring high school season!

Catch the New Wave in West Michigan Soccer



Lakeshore Premier SC enters its 3rd year as a unique partnership involving the Muskegon Lakers, Fruitport Fire, West Michigan Storm and the Tri-Cities Strikers.

Each of the partner clubs have players for whom the Michigan State Premier Soccer League (MSPSL) represents the “next step” in their soccer development journey.

In seeking to satisfy this demand, the partners have formed this collaboration to develop players in a local club that's dedicated to fielding competitive teams in the MSPSL at a reasonable cost and traveling convenience for families.

Lakeshore Premier SC is an independent club, with an Executive Committee comprised of  representatives from each of the partner clubs.  It includes a board member from each club to insure it develops as intended.

Responsibility for Lakeshore Premier SC rests with this Executive Committee.

Lakeshore Premier SC teams are comprised of the best players who attend tryouts, regardless of where they reside.  There are no  spots on the roster "reserved" for the partner clubs.  In fact, a number of players have come from clubs other than the partners. 

We think such participation is healthy, and contributes to a more competitive and well-rounded team.

The Lakeshore Premier SC Director of Coaching (DOC) is Aaron Dean,  Grand Haven High School Boys Varsity Soccer Coach and member of the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association Instructional Staff.  He holds the USSF "C" license and has served as a DOC for more than a decade. 

Lakeshore Premier SC begins forming teams at U12.  Our U12 teams begin competition in the GVSA U13 Second Division.  Our development model calls for this so players  from different clubs can play together for a full season at 11v11 in preparation for going to the MSPSL the following season.
