Welcome to LPSC! If you are looking at our U4 through U6 programming, you might be brand new to the world of recreational soccer, or you are a returning parent! Either way, we’re happy to have you here!
We offer two program options for our younger players that focus on the very basics of soccer. We believe it’s essential to teach the fundamentals to not only our players but to our coaches as well.
Parent and Me Soccer with Sacramento Republic FC
Our Parent and Me Soccer with SRFC allows young children born in 2020 and 2021 and their parents to work with skilled trainers from SRFC who specialize in helping young children get a feel for the game of soccer. Parent/Guardian participation is required. This program is one day a week on Fridays. You can choose from one of two sessions, 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm and 5:30 pm to 6:20 pm.

U6 Program
2024, children born in 2019 are eligible to participate in our U6 program. Players will be assigned to teams of no more than 15 players. Each team will have two to three coaches. Practices will be two days a week based on the coach’s preference. We will have Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday practices. Registering players will be able to request coaches and other players to play with. Please note that we will do our best to accommodate these requests.
Teams are single-gender, unless co-ed teams are necessary for team formation. On game day, each team will be divided into two teams consisting of 4 players plus substitutes for each game. The two teams will play 4v4 games simultaneously on two parallel fields. This is how we also run our U8 program, and our goal is to better prepare our coaches and players for the U8 experience by making a similar environment in U6.
Games will be 32 minutes in length, divided into four 8-minute quarters. There will be a 5-minute break between quarters. Games will be held on Saturday mornings.
The season will start August 5, 2024 with the first game to be determined. The season will run for ten weeks. Registration will be $140 a player and will start on April 1, 2023.
