LYSA prohibits practices on its game fields at Masterson Station Park in order to protect them from overuse and destruction.
However, there are a great number of locations suitable for practicing throughout Lexington. Be advised a soccer goal is not a prerequisite for a good soccer practice. Many of our select team coaches conduct most of their sessions on a patch of grass no bigger than 20×20 yards. All you really need is a patch of grass, some cones and you’re good to go.
LYSA encourages its volunteer coaches to pick a suitable practice site convenient to them. Here are some possible locations:
