Turnaments play an important role in the rythym of play of our teams. Ideally, it is an opportunity to play teams outside the league.
We are deliberate about the tournaments we send teams to. We pick ones that are well-run (and have good parking) with a good reputation of creating fair brackets of teams with similar skills. Ideally, giving each team an opportunity to win. Our goal is to put teams in divisions of the tournament where they will be competitive. My view is that it’s better to win 2 and lose 1 than have 3 teams that are easy to beat. Unfortunately, some teams or clubs see tournament as an easy chance to collect a trophy by applying to lower division than they should be in. The result of pretty lobsided scores. We’ve seen 20-1 and 12-0 scoresl out teams on the losing end. Our teams didn’t have any fun playing retreive the ball from the goal and the other team certainly didn’t get anything useful out of the game.
Club Expenses

Loveland Youth Soccer Association (LYSA) is our recreational youth soccer program. This past spring, players and parents held a food drive and collected two SUV loads of food items to the L.I.F.E Pantry.
The food pantry estimated that enough food was donated for 100 children!
Way to go LYSA!!! We’re proud of the coaches, the parents and the players for helping to make an impact to our communities.
