Each year, LMSC fields up to four teams in each age group from Under 9 through Under 15.
Older age group teams up through Under 19 will be formed if the club identifies qualified coaches with
an interest to coach an older team and a sufficient background to coach an older team.
LMSC also offers an Under 8 Developmental Travel Team Academy for players a year
too young for the Travel Team Program. This program gives our more dedicated and talented players a chance to
train with our coaching staff for a year before moving to the Travel Team Program.
For the 2010 / 2011 season, Lower Merion Soccer Club is fielding 22 boys travel teams and 18 girls travel teams.
While tryouts are held in the spring, the actual travel team season starts in the fall. Most teams compete in
one or more tournaments in late August. League play starts right after Labor Day Weekend.
The boys travel teams compete in the Delco Soccer League while the girls travel
teams compete in the PAGS Soccer League.
All LMSC travel teams are affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation. Age group classifications specify
that birthdate ranges from August 1 of one year through July 31 of the next year. Overage players and underage players
may not play in an age group, even if they miss the cutoff by one day. Per USSF regulations, all players must submit
a copy of their birth certificate to show their proper age. This is done at the conclusion of tryouts which are held
in the spring. Information on tryouts is listed below.
