Under 4- Under 6 League
Team Fee- $425
League includes 6 games. The Under 4 through Under 6 program plays 4v4 with a "New Ball" system. In this system the game is controlled by the on-field coaches and they have the ability to introduce a new ball into the game at any point the ball in play goes out of the field. This is designed to keep the players engaged in the game and constantly moving. It also allows the coaches to get a child that may be a bit withdrawn involved in the activity.
All players should wear appropriately sized shin guards with socks worn on the outside, covering the whole shin guard. Players are allowed to wear soccer cleats or tennis shoes to participate.
In the event of inclement weather, games will be moved indoors. Any changes to the schedules or cancelations will be posted on the home page.
No player cards or MYSA rosters are needed for the U4-U6 League program .

League Details:
1. League Fees: All team league fees listed above must be paid in full prior to the League Scheduling Meeting August 4th. LCS requires player cards for our Outdoor League from U9 to the High School divisions. Therefore, all teams U9 and above will need to present a USYS player card, coach card and official roster to the referee at each league game. Roster size limits and age restrictions will be enforced. For questions about how to get player cards for your team email katie@lakecountrysoccer.org.
2. Game Schedules: A mandatory scheduling meeting for teams U9 and older will be held on Sunday, August 4th to schedule all league games. If a representative from your team is not present, your schedule will be completed without you and no changes will be made after that date. League games can begin on Saturday, August 17th and are tentatively scheduled to conclude around the beginning of November.
3. Game Change Request: Email katie@lakecountrysoccer.org if you want to change the date of a game. This must be submitted no less than 10 days prior to scheduled match to be considered. Teams wanting to change the scheduled game must contact their opponent to choose a mutually agreed upon date and send to LCS. Charge to change a published game is $50.
4. Scholarship Information: Scholarships are available to those children who sign up as individuals who receive free or reduced school lunch but does not apply to any player rostered on a team. To apply for a scholarship, please submit a completed scholarship application and a copy of your child's Free or Reduced Lunch letter from school.
5. Practices: Please contact Alf Bilbao at alfb@lakecountrysoccer.org or call 417.862.3211 to schedule practices at any of the Lake Country fields/complexes.
6. Pass Back Program: LCS currently collects soccer cleats which we in turn pass on to those players who are under financial constraints. Please contact the LCS Office for assistance with this program.
Weather Policy
Severe weather can produce all types of scenarios ranging from extreme heat and high winds to heavy rain, lightning, thunder and/or tornadoes. If severe weather approaches the playing area, the safety of the players and fans is the number one priority of LCS. Some weather conditions may require that the game be suspended while shelter is sought.
Lake Country Soccer utilizes a weather notification app to notify us of lightning in the area. We will be notified when lightning is 20 miles away and again at 10 miles away. In the event that the lightning is 10 miles away, we will immediately sound the air horn 1 time which will require the game to be suspended. Everyone (players, coaches, families, fans) MUST clear the field immediately and move into their cars or other permanent shelter. When the weather notification app gives us the all clear, where no lightning has been detected in the area, we will sound the air horn 2 times. Once this occurs, everyone can return to the field. We appreciate everyone adhering to this policy.
*Any game that has made it to halftime and the game is canceled or suspended due to weather, the score will stand and be recorded as such. Any game that has not reached halftime will be replayed in full unless both coaches agree to the score at the moment the game was suspended.
