The North Lakeland Youth Soccer club (NLYS) plays two (2) different Recreational seasons throughout the year. FALL (SEPT-NOV) and SPRING (MAR-MAY).

Recreational Soccer is set up so that every player that registered is assigned a team and a coach.  They will practice 1 to 2 times during the week, generally starting sometime after 6.  Games are played on Saturdays.  During the FALL season, younger groups (U4-U8) play all their games at our home fields.  Older groups (U10 and older) play at least half their games at our home field, and the rest 'away' at other fields in Polk County. During the Spring Season, all age groups play their games at our fields.

During games, they will play at least 50% of the game and should be using this time to get better and more confident in the game of soccer.
