Longmeadow Soccer Association

Welcome

Longmeadow Soccer Association is a group of parent volunteers who enjoy the game of soccer almost as much as we enjoy seeing our kids playing and having fun. The In-Town program serves all boys and girls from Kindergarten through 8th grade who sign up to play. The Travel program serves boys and girls from age 9 through 13, with teams chosen from players who attend our spring evaluation.

Our philosophy promotes teamwork, skills development, fun and fitness without a focus on winning. Players from Kindergarten through 8th grade need to develop personal and team skills before beginning competitive play.

LSA is a member of the Pioneer Valley Junior Soccer League and Mass Youth Soccer.

In The News

In-Town Season Comes to an Early End
We hope everyone had a fun season this year, but thanks to the weather, the season came to an early end. We collected equipment bags from the coaches at the Community House on Saturday, November 19. All coaches, travel and in-town must return their equipment bags, including any uniforms that were not use this year. In-town coaches for 3rd grade and up also returned the remaining ref fees. If you were not able to return your equipment on that date, please send an email to Board@LongmeadowSoccer.com to arrange a drop off.

Thank you coaches for all you do to help our kids have fun while developing their skills.

Former LHS and New England Revolution soccer player Jay Heaps has a new learning system for the younger players ages 3 to 8. Subject packs include books, memory cards, games and videos. See their web site at www.Discovery101.com.

E-Mail Notifications
Active coaches and players will be receiving notices via email for events and general information. If you don't have an active player in your house right now, but would like to receive notices, please join our email list. There will always be an "opt out" link in the email you'll get from us for those who would prefer getting their updates by other means.

Weather & Games
Generally, it's the in-town coaches' decision to play or reschedule their games when bad weather makes it unwise to be on the fields. But, if weather conditions before the games are bad enough to possibly affect the conditions of the playing fields, we will try to have someone check the field conditions and make a recommendation before games start.

If we see problems at the fields, or if Parks & Rec has closed the fields, you'll see a red "No Games" banner across the top of the home page here on the web site, and no games will be played. If the fields appear to be usable, you'll see the green "Games On" banner and the fields will be available. Always check with your coach. Just because the fields are usable doesn't mean he or she wants to play in the rain or snow!

For travel, games are canceled only when the home team's town has closed their fields. Check the PVJSL web site for field closures before heading out for an away game. For home games, we must wait until Parks & Rec or DPW contacts us when they have decided to close our fields.

Snacks at "The Hut"
LSA sells snacks and drinks on Sundays during the fall season at the hut at Wolf Swamp Fields.
