Welcome to LSA Recreational Soccer
Recreational soccer is a way for children to learn the beautiful game in a low-pressure and fun environment. Outdoor soccer is played in the fall and spring. Official scores are not kept, and players should receive 50% playing time during games. Kids are divided into age groups based on grade, then taking into account personal requests. Requests are not guaranteed, but we do our best to accommodate as many as possible.
If you are interested in becoming a coach for one of rec teams, e-mail our Recreational Director at recdirector@leavenworthsoccer.org

Tiny Kicks
Tiny Kicks (TK) are children who are three to four years old. It is the player’s introduction to soccer. They meet once a week on Saturday for 45 minutes. Kids are broken into small groups and play fun games intended to engage them on the field and teach them to play alongside peers. Parent participation during many of the games will be required. The first season your child signs up for TK they will receive a shirt and size 3 ball as part of the season fees.
Youth Rec (PreK-2nd Grade)
Our youth players range from ages 4 to 7 years old and are broken into pre-K through 2nd grade Divisions. They practice once or twice a week for 45 minutes to an hour.
The PreK and Kindergarden age group begin to learn the fundamentals of the game, basic rules, direction of play, and understand the basic purpose and structure of the game. Players are focused on just themselves and their ball. 1st and 2nd graders learn the basic principles of attacking and defending. The transition of play and how they work together. Players are starting to want to play with their friends.
Coaches will act as the referee during games. Players will need a LSA reversible black and white jersey for games.
Junior Rec (U10-U14)
Our junior players range in age from 8 to 13 and are broken into 3rd and 4th Grade, 5th and 6th Grade, and 7th and 8th Grade divisions. Teams will practice for an hour, two times a week.
The 3rd and 4th graders increase knowledge on attacking, defending and transitions as a team. The players are starting to want to work together as one. When they hit the 5th and 6th grade division they are learning the fundamentals of their roles, positions, and tasks. Players are starting to focus on how they help the team. At 7th and 8th grade they learn the alignment of how each role now works together as a team and learn team tactics. Players start wanting to be better for the team.
These age groups have the opportunity to compete against teams from Lansing, Fort Leavenworth, and Tonganoxie. Players will need a LSA reversible black and white jersey for games.
