Lansing Soccer Club History
where it all beganIt all started in the fall of 1999 when one team of children under the age of 7 played in the Lansing Parks and Recreation League to represent North Elementary School in Lansing.
After a year in existance North Elementary School was able to fill 10 teams in this league. After so much success, in 2001 it was time to move on to play USSF in the Capital Area Soccer League under a newly created Lansing Soccer Club. Through the years we have won USSF divisional leagues, Michigan Champions League, Indoor soccer leagues and outdoor tournaments.
As of 2006, we had one of our players win a state championship for East Lansing High School and another player earned a scholarship to play soccer at Indiana Tech University. We are also very excited to have created a girls program and it has already paid dividend by winning both the U-10 and U-11 girls CASL divisions in the fall of 2005. The Lansing Soccer Club also has had teams represented in the Michigan Champions League. All this success is credited to the soccer coaches who played the game and know the game very well and are now willing to joyfully teach our children the basic skills of soccer.
We are proud to have or have had experienced and licensed coaches such as Jose Lopez, Omar Hernandez, Derek Davis, Patrick McDonald , Miguel Ballicora, Marcelo Queijo and Sergio Keck. The Lansing Soccer Club provides some of the best training to the Mid-Michigan area youth for a very accessible price.
We thank all the families who contribute to our fundraisers so we can offer full and partial scholarships. The Lansing Soccer Club goal is to make our program available to all children who want to play the beautiful game of soccer. Come and see us practice any time at the Old Everett Park " where the city's future stars are being developed".
Sincerely,
Sergio Keck - Lansing Soccer Club Director
