When the children are at our Active Start level (U5 and U6) then we will always do our best to listen to all the requests to keep friends together.
As the children move up the age groups our Registrar and Age Group Coordinators will continue to do their best to keep friends together, but as the children get older it will depend firstly that they are in the same age group and ability streams to ensure all the children are playing the level where they can develop and have fun.
The question that every parent, guardian and coach asks and is the most difficult to answer before the start of each season!
There are a lot of factors that come into when practices take place; number of registered players and their age groups and how many teams can be formed.
The younger players will have the earlier sessions on the weekday practices and depending on age it may be one or two practices a week. Once practice days and times are set they will be the same for the entire season.
For games, the younger players will have a set day and time on a weekend day as all of their games will be in-house for the entire season; as they approach the youth level and start to play teams from other clubs both home in Langley or traveling these schedules are are typically released the Tuesday before the weekend of play at the latest, in many cases there is much more notice but it all depends on all the club’s involved submitting their schedules and where the games will be played.
Your coach will alway advise you when games are with as much notice as possible.
When you register for a Fall or Spring Season Program, as part of that registration process is a section asking about previous experience, both from within LUSA and from other teams too where you can provide details of the level of play which will assist our registrar and coordinators place your child or children with an appropriate team.
