RecPlus Program

GLSA truly values the development of the total soccer player and it shows through our player development curriculum, which focuses on teaching a player that having solid technical fundamentals will carry a player through their playing years.

All players must be committed to attending training and games, as well as developing skills on their own. As we continue to build the club, GLSA will offer a new program where players who are interested in playing in the Competitive Program can participate without the time, travel and financial commitment, but get a true understanding of the GLSA Competitive culture through training.

How It Works

Players will Register for the GLSA Recreational League online and get into the GLSA player database, at the same time, players can register for the RecPlus Program. Once the Registration period is complete, players will be notified of what team they are on, who their coaches will be, and when training will take place. Players will play on their assigned team within the GLSA Recreational League, teams may play ‘UP’ and age in the legaue if the competitive level of the team merits that. Teams will be trained by a GLSA Staff coach with assistance from the Volunteer Coaches. Recreational games will be coached by the Volunteer Coach.

Why It's Great

Parents and players who are interested in playing within the GLSA Competitive Program at U6 and U7 age levels will receive Professional Training without the financial costs that go along with Competitive soccer and without the time commitment that goes along with traveling for players at such a young age. All games will be played at LTSC for a minimal cost and all teams will receive age appropriate training from GLSA Premier Professional Staff Coach.
