MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

Competitive Programs for Travel Teams

Kay Bidle, Vice President, Competitive Division

MISSION & PHILOSOPHY:

The overarching mission of LHSA's Competitive Program is to reinforce the US Soccer Federation's core philosophy of fostering player development over winning through age appropriate instruction, effective training, fun, and competition.

Our primary goal is to develop confidence in technical ability and tactical understanding through guided discovery and facilitated learning. We aim to develop Lawrence Township players both physically and emotionally in order to compete at the highest level of their ability and foster a true appreciation of the 'beautiful game'. Since travel teams are "competitive" by their very nature, not all youth soccer players will have the technical ability, desire or maturity to participate and compete at this level.

Travel Program Details

Our travel teams play in the fall and spring and many teams also participate in tournaments several times a season, as well as off-season indoor winter leagues.

Our travel teams play in the Eastern Development Program (EDP) League as well as the Monmouth Ocean Soccer Association (MOSA) League.

NEW YORK RED BULLS SOCCER TRAINING

The Lawrence Hamnett coaching staff includes highly trained instructors from the New York Red Bulls Training Program who work with our competitive players all season. Each team has a custom development plan, receives game day analysis and support, and complimentary access to the Red Bulls online training curriculum including skills videos, practice sessions, and more. Volunteer coaches also have access to special New York Red Bulls coaching seminars.

Many of our teams attend Red Bulls soccer camps and pre-season training sessions, as well as a Red Bulls match at Red Bull Arena each season. A few teams are even selected to participate as ball boys and girls at an MLS game.
