Lower Merion Soccer Club

LMSC is a not-for-profit youth soccer organization that sponsors a wide range of youth soccer programs for over 2700 youngsters each year between the ages of 4-18. Each year, LMSC offers the following programs:

Fall Intramural Program (ages 4-13)
Spring Intramural Program (ages 5-10)
Travel Team Program (Under 9 up through Under 19)
Under 8 Developmental Academy
Special Needs Program for children with physical, mental and emotional limitations

Our club is about diversity. While our Travel Team Program competes against some of the top teams in the region (we had three state champions in 2008), we also offer a wide range of programs for novice players of all ages, regardless of athletic ability and soccer background.

Our club offers a wide range of programs for children, based on age, gender, athletic ability, previous experience and desired competitive level. Our Travel Team Program offers up to four different teams in many age groups. The Travel Team Program is not just for the superstar. The Travel Team Program also offers teams for players looking to play at more competitive levels who are not super athletes.

Our intramural program offers soccer for children ages 4-13. Our younger age groups all play in smaller numbers and on smaller fields than the older age groups. This philosophy enables players to be more involved with the play and develop at a much faster rate.

The ultimate objective of all LMSC programs is "to provide each and every youngster with a fun filled experience in a soccer environment." This philosophy applies to the highest level travel team player down to the least experienced intramural players and everyone in between.

The 2008 / 2009 season is our 41st season.

LMSC is affiliated with the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA), the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and US Club Soccer (USCS).

SPRING INTRAMURAL PROGRAM REGISTRATION

LMSC is now accepting registrations for their Spring Intramural Program. The program will be open to boys and girls born between 1999 and 2004. The program will run on Sunday afternoons, starting on April 5. Due to the limited field space in the spring, there will not be a division for players born before 1999. The more extensive Fall Intramural Program will be open to children born between 1996 and 2005.

LMSC SIGNS FIELD DEAL WITH BARRACK HEBREW ACADEMY

With field space in Lower Merion Township severely limited due to the construction of the two new high schools, LMSC has entered into a five year agreement with Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy to use their new state of the art turf soccer field in the fall and in the spring, as well as use their gymnasium during the winter for training.

LMSC is excited to have this opportunity to work with Barrack Hebrew Academy and look forward to a long term relationship with them.

The Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy is located at 272 South Bryn Mawr Avenue in Bryn Mawr, about a quarter of a mile from the Bryn Mawr Hospital.
