By rule of the United States Soccer Federation, ALL players MUST wear shin guards to both practices and games. For
safety reasons, soccer shoes are strongly recommended instead of sneakers. Intramural players will receive their
soccer jersey at their first practice of the season. Intramural players can purchase a pair of our logoed LMSC navy
intramural soccer shorts and white soccer socks at Sneaky Pete's (5 West Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore). Sneaky Pete's
also carries a full line of youth shin guards and soccer shoes, as well as soccer balls. As our official supplier of
soccer items, they also accept orders for other LMSC items such as our LMSC logoed soccer balls, sweat shirts, sweat
pants and club jackets.
We will attempt to honor car pool and teammate requests written on the registration form. We cannot guarantee that
car pool requests or teammate requests will be honored since our first priority is to make teams within each division
as fair and balanced as possible. Car pool requests may only be made with players in the SAME division. A MAXIMUM of
three players may be listed. We will NOT switch players at the start of the season to different teams for this purpose,
requests MUST be stated on the registration form. If a player has a good friend who he or she would like to be placed
with, please list him or her in this section of the registration form. Car pool requests received after August 10th
will most likely not be honored since we must begin the difficult task of making team assignments at that time.
Our program is dependent on having parents of players volunteer as coaches. PLEASE give consideration to volunteering
as a coach, thank you. We provide head coaches with ample coaching material in order to make the program a success.
You do not need to have had played the game, you only need to have an interest in working with a small group of children
and an ability to stay one or two steps ahead of them in learning the game.
We also need people to volunteer to be Division Commissioners. Their responsibilities are administrative, i.e.,
making team assignments for the older divisions, switching players from one team to another when necessary, making
phone calls in the event of rainouts, distributing end of season trophies, etc.
If you are interested in serving as a Division Commissioner, head coach or assistant coach, PLEASE indicate this on
your registration. Also, if you are planning on coaching, please send in your registration form AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated so we can mail coaching materials, make coaching assignments, etc.
Several school district and township fields will be closed this year
for renovations. As a result, we do not know at the present time which divisions will
play at which field locations. We anticipate that all divisions will be playing at fields
inside of Lower Merion Township, but we do not know which divisions will play where.
Our web page will provide this information as soon as we know what fields are available for
the fall season.
