Kids Soccer

The town of Lyons works with Real Colorado in Longmont to offer soccer to local youth.   Kids ages 3 - 18 can sign up for recreational teams.  When registering, parents should request placement on a Lyons' team.  If enough local kids sign up in a given age group and category, a local team is formed.  All recreational teams require a volunteer coach, usually a parent of a kid on the team.  If you have time, please consider volunteering, and note that on your registration form.  Lyons' teams would consist of a local coach and (mostly) local kids and would be able to schedule practices here in Lyons.  All games are played in Longmont or surrounding cities.  

Ages: 3 - 18
Dates: early Sept - early Nov, practices may start earlier
Location: local Lyons fields
Fee: $110 - $200
