LMSC Vision

LMSC Values

The LMSC Technical Development Program is player-focused. It is not a program where coaches build their reputations at the expense of player development. The game belongs to children who play it. It’s their game. The Technical Development Program is designed to provide players with a level of preparation, training, practice, and competition that will enthuse, challenge, and motivate them to further improvement and to a lifelong involvement in soccer.

In our program there is no discrimination and everyone has the opportunity to play. Skill and character development through quality training, sportsmanship, team spirit & teamwork, fair play, having fun & friendships, in a safe environment are some of the priorities of our club and its player development program.

* LMSC competitive team culture is one of passing the ball between teammates as the basis of tactical play on offense – i.e., a series of short-range passes between players to avoid challenges to the ball and to advance it towards our opponent’s goal area.
