Q. How do I register my kid(s) for soccer?

A. LOSA has an online registration system that will open once the season has started.

Q. Can I request my kid(s) be on a certain team or with a player?

A. LOSA does not allow carpooling requests, practice/ game schedule request and/or requests for players to be on the same team. (All siblings, that are in the same division, will be placed on the same team. Coaches and Assistant Coaches will be placed with their child on the same team.)

LOSA will NOT move players to a different team to accommodate the player's schedule. All teams are broken up evenly, so every child gets the most game time. If we were to move one player, then we would have to keep moving other players to make the teams even. This would not allow us to get the team shirts ordered in time for the first game.

A. If you are having problems registering your kid(s) during open registration, please send us at [email protected]We are very happy to help you.
