We're excited to welcome your family to another fun season of LYSA soccer! Whether this is your first season or you're returning, here's what you can expect over the next few weeks.
Download the PlayMetrics App
If you haven't already, please download the PlayMetrics app from the App Store or Google Play. PlayMetrics is the easiest way to stay connected throughout the season. You'll receive updates about your player's team, practice schedules, games, field locations, weather cancellations, and league announcements—all in one place.
Your coach will also use PlayMetrics to communicate with the team.
Rest assured, LYSA and PlayMetrics will never sell or use your personal information for anything other than league communications.
Download the app here.
Join Us for Summer Camp
Kick off the season with our popular week-long Summer Soccer Camp during the first week of August! It's a fun opportunity for players of all ages to improve their skills, build confidence, and make new friends before the season begins.

What Happens Behind the Scenes?
Once registration closes on August 16, our volunteers get to work preparing for the season. Our Board organizes hundreds of players into balanced teams, coaches and referees complete training, equipment is distributed, and schedules are finalized—all to ensure your child has a great soccer experience.
Interested in coaching or refereeing? We'd love to have you join our team!

Team rosters are expected to be distributed to coaches around August 29.
Most families will hear from their coach shortly afterward.
When Will I Hear From My Coach?
As soon as your registration payment is complete, your child is eligible to be assigned to a team. After coaches receive their rosters around August 29, they'll contact families with practice times, locations, and other team information.
Practices may begin as early as September 1, although many younger teams start a little later. Practices are held at fields throughout Lane County, while most Saturday games take place at Monroe Middle School.
When Will Game Schedules Be Available?
Season schedules will be available by September 12. You'll find them:
On the LYSA website
In the PlayMetrics app
Through emails sent to coaches and families
Be sure to download the PlayMetrics app so you'll always have the latest information.
Haven't Heard From Your Coach Yet?
Every team begins on a slightly different schedule, and some coaches may be traveling before the season begins. If you haven't heard from your coach by September 1, simply leave us a message at 541-484-1149, and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible. Please note that this is one of our busiest weeks of the year, so we appreciate your patience.

Your registration fee covers league insurance, field rentals, referee equipment, team equipment, and much more.
U6–U14 Players will need:
LYSA uniform

We'd Love Your Help!
One of the things that makes LYSA special is that every coach, referee, board member, and volunteer is a parent or community member who simply wants to give local kids a wonderful soccer experience. Because we're entirely volunteer-run, every family who helps—even for just an hour or two—makes a real difference.
Whether you'd enjoy coaching, refereeing, helping at an event, assisting with equipment, or supporting behind the scenes, we have opportunities that fit almost every schedule and interest. We'd love to help you find a volunteer role that's right for you.

Thank You for Being Part of LYSA!
Our goal is simple: to create a fun, positive environment where every child can learn, grow, build confidence, and enjoy the game. We encourage you to cheer enthusiastically, celebrate effort as much as success, and help create a positive experience for every player on the field. Thank you for choosing LYSA. We look forward to seeing your family this fall!
