2025 LMSA FALL Recreational Soccer

At the heart of the LMSA soccer program is the Recreational Division. LMSA has been serving the soccer playing youth and families of La Mirada since 2008. At the same time providing participation opportunities for all the other members of a family. Adults can volunteer to be a coach, asst coach, a team parent or even help administer the program by volunteering to help the Board of Directors as an assistant or even becoming a member. In addition, any family member, 14 years of age or older, can become an LMSA paid referee.

The program strives to ensure that every child can have the opportunity to experience the beautiful game of soccer in a fun safe and fair environment. LMSA program offers a low cost, low travel, low time commitment environment. While at the same time ensuring that all players in the U10 Divisions and younger are playing at least 1/2 of every game. U12 and above must play at least half of every game.

Although LMSA is considered recreational, there are playoffs and champions crowned locally every Fall for our U8, U10 and U12 divisions.
