Welcome to the Lower Merion Soccer Club Web Page. LMSC is a not-for-profit youth soccer organization that sponsors a variety of youth soccer programs for over 2700 youngsters between the ages of 4-18, including a Fall Intramural Program, a Spring Intramural Program and a very successful Travel Team Program which enters team in the boys Delco Soccer League and the Philadelphia Area Girls Soccer League (PAGS).

LMSC also offers a Special Needs Program in the fall for children with physical, mental and emotional limitations.

We offer 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 divisions. The Travel Team Program is not just for the superstar. It also offers teams for players looking to play at more competitive levels who are not super athletes.

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 Clubs Soccer (USCS).
