Does my son or daughter have to try out for a team?
Tryouts are required for all travel teams.
What should I expect from tryouts?
Coaches will run a series of drills and small-sided games in order to evaluate players by athletic ability, technical skill, effort, attitude, and game aptitude. After tryouts are completed, coaches for each age group will meet and determine the number of teams and the roster for each. Coaches will notify parents about their child’s selection within two weeks after tryouts.
What happens if my son or daughter doesn’t make a team?
Londonderry also offers a recreational soccer program that offers opportunities for all players. Additionally, we would urge your child to attend local camps as offered. We would encourage your son or daughter to keep working on their game and try again next year!
How much does the program cost?
Registration fees are determined on a year-to-year basis.  LSC United does everything possible to keep costs reasonable while adding a tremendous amount of value to our players and families.

Practices for the fall season begin in mid-August. League games begin in early September and run through October. Teams typically play 8 games in the fall, plus playoffs for older divisions.
