This is a Boys & Girls league for players age 2-14 and is open to everyone. We have a spacious facility at Alt Park in Baltimore Ohio. We encourage you and your youth to get involved and have some fun with us. Many of our coaches are licensed with the OSYSA and ALL of our refs are trained and certified as well. Our goal is to teach the players the game as well as having a safe and fun time.

"Soccer is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening--it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."

LUYSA NEEDS YOU!
|
|
|
|
LUYSA is in need of coaches. Through attrition (our kids growing up and parents moving on with them), we have lost quite a few coaches over the last couple of years and are in need of some new blood (so to speak). We can use your help in all age groups, but our biggest need is in the U-10 & U-12 age groups.
We will be holding a Clinic (Sunday, August 24 @ 2:00pm at Alt Park) for new and seasoned coaches alike. It will cover drills, games and strategies for small sided play (we adopted small sided play 3 years ago).
If you are interested please talk to one of our board members at sign-ups. We will answer your questions and explain the benefits of coaching. You may also just check the Team Coach or Team Assistant Coach box on the registration form and we will contact you.
The LUYSA board and OUR KIDS, THANK YOU!

LUYSA Celebrates 30 Years by Starting The Joe Schappa Spirit Award
LUYSA – Joe Schappa Spirit Award Recipients
On July 30th the Liberty Union Youth Soccer Association (LUYSA) in Baltimore met to give out the Joe Schappa Spirit Award. This award is given following the spring season to both a boy and girl that will be leaving the U-12 age division and has shown a consistent, positive attitude in our recreational association. Players are nominated by their coaches and selected by the board. The 2008 recipients are Maddy Shook and Drew Winchell.
As well, this upcoming season marks the 30th year for LUYSA! Joe Schappa – of which the above award is named after – brought soccer to the Baltimore community, beginning both the youth and high school programs. Joe remains connected to the association, still serving on the LUYSA board. If you have a chance this fall, make a trip to Alt Park on a Saturday morning to watch children ranging in age from 2 – 14 having fun playing the game of soccer! This article will soon be in the Town Crier publication.
Congratulations to Maddy Shook and Drew Winchell!

Member organizations are the most elite in the state and being recognized, as a peer to those organizations is a great asset to our organization. Getting to this point has been a combined effort of the current board members and all of the coaches for their hard work in making this league what it is today.
