OVERVIEW
LSC Academy powered by Lawton Soccer Club
The LSC Academy introduces your player with their first experiences in competitive soccer. This program allows players, who excelled at the recreational level to rapidly advance their technical skills along with like-minded players under the watchful eyes of the LSC Player Development Staff. The Academy matches determined players with advanced coaches/licensed who are passionate about player development. Together, this synergy will unleash an inspiring, yet challenging environment where your player will learn and progress at a rapid rate.
All of our programs are intended to provide players of all levels of ability and experience the opportunity to play on a soccer team and develop through participation in a fun team environment.
Why
LSC Youth Academy?
LSC Youth Academy players must demonstrate a steady commitment to training to ensure proper development through consistent touches on the soccer ball and regular instruction from elite coaches. As your player ages through the Youth Academy, they will have developed a strong fundamental skill level, and an understanding of our style of play, and become immersed in the culture at LSC Academy. Your player can register on a seasonal or yearly basis for this program..
LSC uses the pool training concept in our Youth Academy to ensure your player is consistently in a high-quality training environment. Pool training shifts the focus away from team development and prioritizes individual player development. During pool sessions, LSC players will be grouped together with players who have similar skill levels with the understanding that players develop at different stages. Increased competition, an improved training environment, and accelerated player development are all by-products of pool training.
