Parent FAQ's for the Spring 2024 Season


LYSA is a non-profit and volunteer led organization.

- Every team needs coaches!  To sign up as a Head or Assistant Coach adults should register themselves as a Volunteer, in addition to registering their child as a player (if applicable).

- Every team will have a parent volunteer listed as Coordinator to help with communications from LYSA and within the team itself.  Parent Coordinator's will also setup a schedule for team post-game snacks, & plan team gatherings.

- Coaches of each team will set the practice schedules/location.  LYSA assigns teams based of geographic location so that practices will be near your home in most cases. 

- LYSA Coaches have free access to a great state-of-the-art App to use as our coaching curriculum to plan practices each week!  We have a pre-season Coaches Meeting and are planning an on-field training session for this season!

- A Head Coach will receive a reimbursement of 50% of their child's registration fee at season's end.
