LUYSA Grassroots FAQ
When does the season start & end?
Parents will receive the initial contact in Late August. Training begins the first week of September. The program involves one weeknight training session and one weekend game day per week. The club and teams take a winter break around the first week of December, resuming in early January. The season continues until mid-March, including a year-end windup Mini-World Cup Tournament Event.
Who runs and organizes all of this?
LUYSA is a volunteer driven club. From the executive level and board of directors, all the way through to the coaches and team moms.
Who coaches my child?
LUYSA Grassroots is a volunteer driven program. ALL full season program teams are coached by dedicated parents like you, who are interested in contributing to our children’s growth as little athletes, soccer players, and people. LUYSA provides a number of coaching resources to our volunteer coaches including BCSA Coaching Clinics, Coaches Education Nights, and Coaching Mentorship programs. We also provide a comprehensive Grassroots Coaching Guide, outlining the steps and guidelines to running a team successfully.
What is included in the program?
For our Regular Fall Full season programs, the club facilitates one practice and one game per week. The registration fees cover (but not limited to) the fields, gyms and playing facilities, balls cones, and equipment. Each player receives a full playing kit including a Jersey, shorts, socks, and water bottle. Also included is an individual medal for each player.
How are teams formed? And when?
LUYSA’s Grassroots (Mini) Soccer program is based upon the Canadian Soccer Associations guidelines & recommendations under the “Wellness to World Cup” program. Our beginners U5 Parents & Tots Program is run as one large training group, run by our Staff coaches. At the U6 level, registered players will be placed onto teams based upon school-catchment, and player requests. We try to honor all requests, but it is not guaranteed. Moving into the U7 level, players will be grouped into two like-minded “Streams” in each age group via an initial “live evaluation” by LUYSA’s technical staff. Keep in mind that these are NOT tryouts. The teams within each stream (Development & Community) will then be formed based upon a) school catchment, then b) player requests. Requests and locale are not guaranteed. Priority is to keep teams balanced and to avoid powerhouse teams. Coaches and players will be assigned and parents notified shortly there-after. Schedules will also be available at this time. For the U8-U10 levels, teams are carried over from the previous season with minor changes based upon the development of players and the changing registration of players (new players, and players leaving the game). If you have questions or concerns about the “streams” concept, please refer to the LUYSA Document “WHY LUYSA HOLDS EVALUATIONS”, found on the LUYSA website under “Forms & Docs”.
Can my child play up a year with a sibling or friend?
LUYSA is willing to consider parental requests for their children to play up in an older age group, however, they must be approved prior to registration by the technical department. Our feeling, based upon BC and Canadian Soccer recommendations, is that children, no matter how high their skill level, are best served by playing with and against their friends in their own age group that is appropriate for their mental and emotional maturity level. We do not believe the child gains much by playing in an older group where they may feel unconnected socially and emotionally. We also reserve the right to move the child back to their own age group at any time during the season for any reason but most specifically if they don't have the skill level to compete at the older age group or if they are having trouble fitting in. Safety and well-being of the child is of paramount concern. My child is small and born late in the calendar year, can he play down on a younger team? No. Due to insurance provided by BC Soccer through your registration fees, guidelines prohibit LUYSA from allowing this. Every child must play in their birth year age group. Playing up one year may be considered on a player to player basis only and must be approved by the LUYSA Technical Department. Changes to the LUYSA Player Development Program are designed in part to eliminate the need for players to play “up” a year to develop at a higher pace.
When are practices?
Practices in the initial month of the season (September) are held weekly at the coach’s discretion. At a time/place that is convenient to them and the rest of the team. Generally an elementary school field central to where the majority of the teams players reside. Come early October, LUYSA is provided our bookings from the Langley School Board. A volunteer assigns a weeknight gym slot to each team U6-U9. The gyms coordinator attempts to assign a gym slot that is nearby each team’s base location. Due to a limited supply of gyms slots, and many other user groups, we cannot guarantee the “perfect” day/time/location. Parents and coaches are not permitted to inquire within individual schools or with the School Board offices to arrange a time. These requests will be ignored, and teams will be dropped to the bottom of the request list.
When are games?
All LUYSA grassroots games are held on Saturdays. Age group specific schedules are released to coaches, posted to the LUYSA website, and sent to parents in early September. Generally speaking, the younger the age group, the earlier the kickoff start. (ie. U6’s play at 8:30am, and U10’s in late morning or early afternoon) The U5 program is the exception, as it is not a full season program and usually runs late Sunday afternoons. Game schedules are posted to the LUYSA website prior to the start of the season.
What equipment is needed?
LUYSA provides a full game kit for all registered players. This includes a jersey, shorts and socks. Soccer specific cleats and shinpads are required, but supplied by parents. LUYSA training and rain gear is available for purchase via our partnership with SoccerCity. Visit the LUYSA Clubwear website for the catalog and more info at: http://www.soccerclubwear.com/langleyunited/ During colder-wetter months, players top layer must be their uniform. Jackets and pants are not permitted during play. Inexpensive base layer clothing (UnderArmour-type) is available at many local stores (Walmart, Superstore, Zellers, Sportcheck), that will keep the kids warm.
What if it’s raining or snowing?
At the Grassroots age groups, the field closures are handled by the Township of Langley. The current field status can be found via LUYSA’s website (under FIELD STATUS). In the event of increment weather, LUYSA will update our own website, and cancel games via email to coaches, who will then contact parents ASAP. Games are on unless notified otherwise by the club. At the U9/10 level, the referee has the authority to call a game due to unplayable conditions at the individual field.
Do Boys and Girls play together?
LUYSA runs programs for both Boys and Girls separately. These programs mirror each other in structure. Resources and club facilities are provided equally to both. In select cases, girls MAY be permitted to play on boys teams, only with the approval of the Club’s Technical Director, on an individual basis.
Can I enter my team into a tournament?
LUYSA runs a YEAR-END MINI-WORLD CUP Tournament at the end of the season for all grassroots level teams. The event is a held in early March, prior to spring break. All teams participate, and all players receive a medal for their season. Focus is still on fun and enjoyment for all teams and players. Standings and scores are not recorded. Coaches and Teams may enter non-LUYSA events and tournaments at their own cost. Tournaments must be BCSA sanctioned. Contact Mark Parker – Technical Director to inquire. [email protected]
My child wants to play ALL THE TIME, what more is available?
User-pay programs are offered in addition to our regular full season programs, such as Team Academy, and our Player Development Academy. These programs are open to all LUYSA players and are staffed by BCSA certified professional coaches. LUYSA also runs a full SPRING Season set of programs, with a focus on player skill development. Look for more info on the LUYSA website in the new year for the up-to-date announcements.
I’d like to be more involved in the club and its operations, who do I talk to?
If you are interested in contributing to LUYSA in more than a team related capacity. Please contact any of the Executive (President or VP), or our Director of Volunteers. (contact info on LUYSA website)
What are Small Sided Games?
Small Sided Games Soccer embraces the concept of fun and enjoyment, which is vital if children are to develop a lifelong love for soccer. The principles and rules of Small Sided Games are similar to those in 11 aside Soccer, except that the pitches are smaller and there are fewer players on each team. Depending on the age group, number of players, size of pitch, and goal size the game can vary from 3v3 for the youngest to 8v8 for the oldest groups at the age of 12.
Benefits of Small-Sided Soccer
The opportunity to repeatedly touch the ball
Repeatedly experience basic tactical challenges
The ability to actively participate is fun, we know players develop when they enjoy themselves
Player retention should be the number one priority of all youth coaches
Tactical awareness from a positioning point of view is easier communicated
The game is not as complicated as the adult 11 v 11 and easier to understand
Players have fun and personal growth within and outside of the game due to enjoyment, as a result of smaller fields and simplified rules
Individual participation and development is fostered due to the players receiving more playing time
Due to individual involvement the general health and fitness increases
Confidence and self-esteem is promoted as a result of responsibly presented to players from scoring or attempting to stop the opponents from scoring
Playing small sided games players are encouraged to use freedom of expression
By playing and exploring the game, children will find gravitate to positions they prefer and feel comfortable with.
Due to the limited numbers and small field a player can rotate to being a forward, midfielder and defender during the course of the game
The focus is on the PLAYER and PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, not team success.
The so called “dominant” player is prevented from holding onto the ball due to the smaller area of play
Contrary to belief, Small Sided Games increase participation numbers
Eight to ten 4v4 fields can be accommodated on a full sized field.
The shift to small sided games for is based on educational research on the way children learn best
Children’s academic education is progressive, so should their soccer education be

LUYSA RESPECT Program
“Children need strong values to grow up with, and football, being a team sport, makes them realise how essential discipline, respect, team spirit and fair play are for the game and for life," - Fifa President Joseph Blatter
Langley United Youth Soccer Association's RESPECT program is based upon the FIFA program under the same name. We are the first club in Canada to implement such a program and has received numerous accolades from local & provincial government representatives and sports organizations. (see links below) LUYSA's RESPECT Program is based on the idea that RESPECT is the collective responsibility of everyone in soccer to create a fair, safe, and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place. This not only includes players, but also parents, coaches, referees, spectators and everyone else involved in "The Beautiful Game". From encouraging our kids from the sidelines, recognizing the officials authority on the pitch, to shaking your opponent's hand after a match. RESPECT is the basis that we encourage out players and members to enjoy the game. All players, coaches, and parents are encouraged to read and sign our
LUYSA RESPECT PLEDGE
(click to download or visit www.luysa.com) The RESPECT program can be explained to young children with one simple golden rule.... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". As coaches and parents, we can not only remind our children of this simple rule, but also keep it in mind ourselves when on the sidelines and communicating with other parents, players, coaches and officials. The RESPECT Pledge can be easily printed on stuck up on a child wall, or attached to the family refrigerator for a continual reminder of the "golden rule". Judi Vankevich - The Manners Lady, participated in LUYSA's season kick-off bbq in 2010, and brought her unique and entertaining program to our club and demonstrated to our kids that RESPECT and good manners can and SHOULD be a part of all our lives. Please visit her website for more info on Judi and her programs The Manners Club.
Roles and Code of Conduct for Parents
The intent of this section is to give the parents an awareness of what is required to be a supportive contributor to our children’s soccer experience.
Read and sign (along with your child) the LUYSA RESPECT Pledge (found on LUYSA website, under the Forms/Docs tab)
Fill out and submit the LUYSA MEDICAL CONSENT FORM to your assigned coach.
Read and follow the BCSA EDUCATED PARENT document (found on LUYSA website, under the Forms/Docs tab)
Ensure your current contact info is provided to the coach and club
Be on-time (or early) and have your child prepared and ready to play.
Notify the coach or Team Manager of any known absences
LET THE COACHES, COACH & the PLAYERS, PLAY.
SHOW RESPECT TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE GAME, FROM THE COACHES, REFEREES, OPPONENTS, AND MOST OF ALL, OUR OWN KIDS.
Small Sided Games Team Structuring Process - U6 to U10
Under 6 At this age group, all registered players are grouped into teams and assigned a coach based on home address, school catchment, and then player requests. Minor adjustments can be made to accommodate parents and/or coaches under certain circumstances, not guaranteed. The Club and technical staff reserves the right to make adjustments to avoid powerhouse teams and blowout scores.
Under 7 Starting in U7, all registered players are split into two STREAMS (groups); Development and Community. This is done via 2-4 LIVE evaluation sessions run by LUYSA’s Technical Director, Director of Grassroots and Select staff. Players are observed and evaluated during a number of small-sided games. Players are evaluated on the following criteria: enthusiasm, physical development & soccer specific development. Keep in mind, that these are NOT TRYOUTS. Once the players have been split into the two streams, the teams are formed in each stream in the same method as in U6. Address, school, and requests. Development teams play each other, and Community teams play each other, but never cross-stream. There is opportunity for players to move streams (in both directions) early on in the season. It is up to the volunteer coaches to report players who may be misplaced (dominating in the Community side, or struggling in the Development side) to their Age Group Coordinator, who will then request a staff/tech coach to attend a practice or game to observe and make a recommendation. Movement between streams is only done in either case if a player is losing interest because of a lack of a challenge, or from struggling and not enjoying the game.
Under 8 thru Under 10 Teams are carried over each subsequent season based upon the previous year. Minor adjustments are made to each team and roster based upon Technical Staff recommendations & the Volunteer Coaches year-end player evaluations. This allows players who developed over the previous season to continue to develop and be challenged, as well as for players who struggled the previous year to have the opportunity to find success in a more appropriate training environment. For a more detailed explanation of the “Streams” concept and the evaluations, please visit the LUYSA website and read the document “Why LUYSA holds Evaluations”. Questions and concerns can be directed to LUYSA’s Technical Director & Director of Grassroots.
CSA - Long-Term Player Development (LTPD)
Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) is a CSA soccer-specific adaptation of the Long-Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) developed by Canadian Sport Centres. LTAD is a scientific model for periodized athlete training and development that respects and utilizes the natural stages of physical, mental, and emotional growth in athletes, and it has already been adopted by major sports organizations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada. Like the LTAD program, LTPD is designed to: 1. Promote lifelong enjoyment of physical activity. 2. Provide a structured player development pathway. 3. Describe best practices for elite player development. 4. Create long-term excellence.
Benefits of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) LTPD is a program for soccer player development, training, competition, and recovery based on biological age (i.e. physical maturity) rather than chronological age. It is player centred, coach driven, and administration, sport science, and sponsor supported. LTPD: • Eliminates gaps in the player development system. • Guides planning for optimal athlete performance at all stages. • Provides a framework for program alignment and integration, from volunteer club coaches to national and professional teams. • Follows scientific principles and practical coaching experiences.
Benefits for players & parents: • Better understanding of what makes a good soccer program. • More players learning at their level and having fun. • Appropriate game and league structures (e.g. size of balls, goals, field etc.). • More opportunity for players to realize their athletic potential. • More coaches who are knowledgeable in leading safe, effective practices.
Benefits for coaches & clubs: • Information and education on effective coaching and practice methods. • Guidelines for appropriate game structures. • Guidelines on appropriate competition levels. • Established pathways for player development for all levels of ability and ambition. • Affirmation of best practices for coaches and club administrators.
Benefits for all: • Competitive behaviour is fostered in players, while over-competitive behaviour is discouraged in adults (e.g. coaches and parents). • Players, parents, coaches, and administrators understand that players are unique and therefore different in interest and aptitude. • Players stay involved in the sport throughout their lives (as players, coaches, referees or club administrators). • Soccer grows, and lifelong wellness is promoted for players of all ages, genders, and levels of ability and disability.
