TEAM PLANS 2022-2023
Our team plans linked below cover the most important details for age group and competitive level teams. Teams/team plans are based on 2 models including commitment to playing, competitive level of the teams/players, and financial commitment relative to the team that best fits our members.
ALL TEAMS will have the same winter training opportunities as we move into a new winter training facility located at the National Sports Center (NSC) indoor turf at either the NSC Dome or NSC Sports Hall.

Those age groups that have a FALL TCSL option (U13 and lower) will have the ability to select a "No Fall" option during the team registration process if a player cannot play in a fall league. There will be a discount to adjust the team registration fee.
A Fall only option is only available if roster sizes allow at U11-U13 and please reach out to admin@lakesunitedfc.org.
