The HOSA competitive program is for ages 9-19. Teams are formed via tryouts conducted by LFC staff at the end of each spring season. Once tryouts are completed each participant will receive a recommendation as to the level best suited to their demonstrated level of development (8 year olds are evaluated during the tryout period but all participants are offered a roster spot). Accepting an invitation to join a LFC  team requires a full-year commitment and fees must be paid in full even if a player decides to leave the team prior to the end of the year. Team budgets are based upon the number of players committed and therefore no refunds are issued. 
 

• LFC programs are designed with specific expectations regarding player development. Teams play both a fall and spring season (including league tournaments) and may participate in external tournaments as assigned by the Technical Staff. All LFC teams are expected to participate in the winter training program and there are a variety of additional (optional) opportunities throughout the calendar year.
   

• All teams are treated equally: each has a professional coach supported by the Club Technical Staff; each has a similar number of training sessions and games; each is taught from the same player development manual and all teams wear the same uniform colors. We believe this player centric philosophy is unique in the region.
