Lynnfield Youth Soccer Club has been working hard to support its coaches and players through licensing courses, clinics, in-season training, goal keeper clinics, utilizing the services of a professional soccer organization, and making the evaluation and player placement process more comprehensive and fair for all players.

 

All this adds up to a strong system, where all players of all levels can have fun, grow, and develop to the best of their abilities. From our “brand-new” soccer players to those playing at the U-14 level, Lynnfield Youth Soccer Club is proud to have a soccer system in place that meets all of our needs.

 

Philosophically, LYSC understands the importance of having good, strong coaches, who are well trained and have the proper perspective (on soccer and life) to best teach our young players how to play soccer. 

 

LYSC pays for all its coaches to get licenses. There are many levels of licensing in soccer, and we encourage our coaches to obtain their licenses to the level they are coaching.

 

Additionally, LYSC contracts with Mass Premier Soccer (“MPS”), an organizations that oversees the Boston Renegades and the Cape Cod Crusaders, among many other national caliber club teams. MPS runs the clinics for our U-8 players, holds pre-season coaching clinics for our U-6 and U-8 coaches, runs in-season clinics for coaches at all the traveling team levels, holds specialty clinics, such as goal keeper clinics, runs the Lynnfield summer soccer camp in August, and runs the independent evaluations (tryouts) for LYSC. MPS is also always available via email if coaches have specific questions throughout the season.

 

On top of this, we are also utilizing more this year Mark Vermont, coach of the Lynnfield girls varsity soccer team, and Brent Monroe, coach of the boys varsity soccer team to help run a goalie clinic and work with some of the U-12 and U-14 travel teams.

 

LYSC coaches are selected based on the following criteria:
