As an independent volunteer organization registering over 500 players each season, it is no small feat getting everything up and running smoothly every Saturday. Our longevity and success as an organization is thanks in large part to the parents and community members who have graciously volunteered their help over the years.
There are a number of ways you can help:
Coach a Team - We always need coaches! Coaching can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Check out our For Coaches page for more information.
Join the Board - There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, from the initial planning and marketing to the official kickoff of each season. The LSA board is a small group of volunteer parents, and with the amount of growth we’ve been experiencing over the past year, we simply can’t do it all without more help. Please consider joining the board. We meet monthly and welcome your input and support. Click Here to fill out the board member application.
Equipment Trailer Pulling - Do you have a hitch on your car? We have a small equipment trailer that needs to be towed to Memorial Fields each Saturday. We usually split up this task between a few families, if possible.
Set-Up/Tear-Down - Our soccer goals are not permanent so they need to be set up and torn down every Saturday. We assign this task to different teams each week. Your coach will be in touch when it’s your team’s turn.
Concessions - We sell donuts, coffee, water ($1), and gatorade ($2) at all Saturday Soccer games in a small tent on the main field.
Parent involvement is truly necessary for the success of our program. Thank you for your help!
There are 5 core principles at the heart of our Saturday Soccer program:
With these in mind, it’s important to stress the following:
There are many Lakewood families that lack the resources to buy the necessary uniform or cleats for their children. You can help by donating your used LSA uniforms, shin guards, cleats, or soccer balls that your children have outgrown or you no longer use. With your help, we can get more kids out there on the soccer field. Just bring your donations with you to any Saturday game and drop them off at the concession stand.

Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Lakewood Soccer Association experience during each sporting season. With their accounts properly configured, athletes and their families will receive communications according to their preferences and be able to complete registrations more efficiently. SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Parents and Athletes that will help our members with frequently asked questions about our website and mobile app.
Here is your quick start guide to creating an account and using the SportsEngine platform as an athlete or parent.
Keep connected to your team(s). Get schedules and team updates for every athlete in the house, plus a way to message other members on your team and a way to give coaches a heads up about practice. Enjoy unlimited access to scores & stats, photo/video sharing, and more.
In many instances, more than one parent or guardian needs to be in the loop with a child's sports life. Using the mobile app, you can add additional guardians to an account. Guardians can 1) View games and events 2) RSVP to games and events 3) Send and receive messages to coaches and team members 4) participate in team chat
Once you've created your account, add your mobile phone so you can receive text messages from your team manager or coach.
Now that you have your mobile phone on your account, make sure you enable text messaging and any other notifications.
