Massachusetts Premier Soccer has invited players from LCHS to participate in a preseason camp to help prepare for the season. This camp is offered for FREE! MPS is a club soccer program that is always looking for players. This would allow you to be seen by a program that trains and plays in the offseason while preparing for our season. This is a great opportunity and I hope our team will be able to send a significant number of players. I need a head count so I need players to email me and answer the poll question if you can attend. If you don't have email, get in touch with me by phone or inform a captain.

Attention all players!!!

We have had issues dealing with physicals over the past few years, unfortunately.  Last year we did better but the rules have now changed and you need to be aware of it. 

Starting this season - If your physical expires during the season, then you will need another.  For example, if had a physical on file for from August 23rd 2011,  It will be valid until September 23rd 2012.  Once it expires, you will not be allowed to play until you get a new one.  Physicals are valid for 13 months.  I will post a list of players who need to be concerned about their physical date and those who are all set.  Email me with any questions or check in with the captains.

Video

Here's video of the State Tournament game vs. Pentucket.  Take a look at how you played individually.  Keep in mind, it's easy to look at what you did well, but it helps your game more if you look at things that you struggled with.
