However, interested players may request a tryout opportunity with current teams during a practice session by contacting the Club Director, Mauricio Ingrassia at anytime throughout the year via email at lbsoccer@mac.com. Also when emailing please include the childs birthdate and a brief playing history. [Please note that the trainer may be focused on state cup or a tournament and may not be able to fulfill your request at this time in order to focus on the current team members.] Don't be discouraged, continue to check our website for the open tryout dates.
