Longmeadow Soccer Association

The philosophy of the LSA board, simply put is this: our role is to help players develop personal and team skills, get exercise and have fun. We do not keep score in the in-town league, and there are no play-off games. A round-robin style Jamboree is held at the end of the year for the 4th through 8th grades.

Players' and coaches' post cards will be sent shortly after August 15. The cards tell the players who their coach is and the coach's phone number. The coaches meeting is at the Community House near the end of August. At that meeting, coaches get their team assignments and rosters, and an equipment bag with uniforms, balls and cones.

Our season begins on Sunday, September 7th. There are no games on Columbus Day Weekend.

In-Town games take place on Sunday afternoons at the following locations:
K - 1st Grade: Glenbrook Middle School, 110 Cambridge Circle
2nd-8th Grade: Wolfswamp Road Fields, 701 Wolfswamp Rd (not the school)

The in-town divisions are:

Kindergarten co-ed 1st Grade co-ed 2nd Grade co-ed 3rd Grade Boys 3rd Grade Girls

4th & 5th Grade Boys 4th & 5th Grade Girls 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Boys 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Girls

Field Maps

Maps are in Portable Document Format (pdf). If you don't have a pdf reader, several are available for free on-line, including Adobe Reader®.

The field maps are created after Longmeadow Parks and Recreation marks the fields. We post the latest maps as soon as they're ready, usually the first week of September.

Wolfswamp 2nd-8th Grade

Jamboree

The in-town league has an end of the season Jamboree for the 4th/5th grade and 6th/7th/8th grade teams at Wolf Swamp Fields. Not quite a round-robin, each team plays three 45-minute games. Everyone receives a participation medallion, and the coaches turn in their equipment bags at the hut.

Training/Practice in August

Coaches generally receive their team rosters in late August, so team practices usually start the first week of school.

For the Fall 2008 season, In-Town Coaching Director Richard Yam has organised training for in-town and travel coaches. Please see the "In The News" item on the Home page.
