Why do I have to supply my child's birth certificate at registration?
- All programs require proof of a player's age. A player must provide proof of age upon initial registration with an affiliated organization under Washington Youth Soccer (WYS). Proof of age shall consist of a birth certificate, passport, Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card, Government agency documentation, Board of Health Records, alien registration card issued by the United States Government, a certificate issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. All documentation must be in ENGLISH or translated to ENGLISH. Hospital, baptismal or religious certificates will not be accepted.  If you have any difficulty getting your hands on your child's birth certificate, please contact our registrar, Kris Baglio at 253-584-5129 or [email protected]

Who are the coaches?
- LSDSC coaches are volunteers who usually have a child enrolled on the team they are coaching or on another team in the club.

What does my registration fee cover?
- We supply the game jerseys for Micro and Recreation players at all ages. Players in the Micro Program also receive a new ball each season. We also pay the required state insurance fee for each player. All other registration money goes to maintaining fields, referees and administration costs that go to the local association, Washington Youth Soccer and the United States Youth Soccer Association.

When and where will practice start?
- Each team sets their own practice schedule.  Your coach will contact you and the rest of the team about practice
- The majority of our teams practice at Fort Steilacoom Park
- Most teams will start practices by mid to late July, but some may choose to start earlier and Micro teams will not start practice until after Micro day in late August.

When will games start?
- Games will start for Micro, Small Sided and Full Field teams the weekend after Labor Day
- Micro through U14 play their games on Saturdays
- U15 and above play their games on Sundays

Where do we play our games?
- Our Micro teams will play all of their games at Fort Steilacoom Park
- Our small sided rec teams who play in the Pierce County Home League will play home games at Fort Steilacoom Park and away games  in other locales in Pierce County, including Fircrest, University Place, Tacoma, North Tacoma, Gig Harbor and Fife.
- Our full field rec teams will play at the same locales, and in addition may play games in East Pierce County and South King County/West Seattle

Do we get a uniform?
- LSDSC provides club uniforms (Jersey, Shorts and Socks) to all of our teams who request them.  Some teams may choose to purchase their own uniforms that are not the club uniform.  Micro players receive a t-shirt, shorts and socks
- Players will need to provide their own shoes (soccer cleats) and shin guards

Spring soccer
- Spring soccer registration is open to coaches only, who will register their intent to enter a team, and then send out invites to their Fall season players.  If there are openings at certain age groups, it will be advertised on our site and invite codes will be posted for those teams.  The reason we do this in the Spring is because there are no guarantees of coaches and we do not want to have kids register and then have to cancel.  Fall is our main season and registration is open on April 1st, 2024 and is open for all...no invite code needed.
