Fall Season Preperations Underway

Thank you to everyone that has registered this season. Preparations are underway to form the teams, line up coaches, and set the practice and game schedule. We have a coach's meeting on August 11th, and everyone should be notified shortly there after. The first games will be the weekend of Sept 10.

Some things to keep in mind for the coming season are the rule changes.

  • Every team needs a referee. Training class will be held in late August. Let Ken Nadeau know you are interested in attending. If a team does not register a licensed referee, that team will not participate in the games.
  • There is a $50 transfer fee between teams.
The reasons for the Recreational Program Changes can be found at the link.

We are also starting a number of tournament teams for the U10 and U11 age groups. Both boys and girls will have their own preparatory team to get ready for the competitive league next year.

Rate Changes for Rec and Comp Programs

The board voted this last meeting to change the rate structure for both the Recreational and Competitive leagues. We did not make these changes lightly. Many of the changes have been voted on and overturned for years. The Board felt that changes needed to be made and this was the best option available. If you can think of other ways to meet the stated goals of the changes, please do not hesitate to offer them to me or any board member.

» CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL COMPETITIVE TEAMS

LAYSL had 7 competitive teams go up to Durango over Mother's Day weekend and represented the town of Los Alamos exemplarily. All teams played hard and had a great time. Many of the teams that played our kids expressed not just our quality, but our sportsmanship was great to see.

Congratulations to the following teams for making it to medal group.

Kixx '93 2nd Place
Kixx '96 2nd Place
Laser '99 2nd Place

The Kixx '98 participated in the Duke City Shootout and got 3rd place. Congratulations!
The Los Alamos Youth Soccer League (LAYSL) is a non-profit organization, made entirely possible by volunteers. LAYSL operates under international, national, state and local rules, bylaws and guidelines. We are affiliated with the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association (NMYSA) and the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA). Our local bylaws were originally prepared in 1982. In addition, we have guidelines for both the recreational and competitive programs as well as local amended rules for Under-12 play.

The primary purpose of LAYSL is to provide a high-quality, safe, and fun opportunity for the youth of Los Alamos to grow as a soccer player and as a person. As players, they will learn individual skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. As a person, kids will develop life skills, including responsibility, commitment, discipline, and fostering a spirit of community involvement.
