In order to register your child, please go to our website at www.levittownsoccerclub.org and follow prompts for “Programs.” All registration is completed through the GotSport third party site. First time users must create an account before completing registration. LSC only offers online registration with credit card as the only payment option.

- “What paperwork do I need to submit to register my child to play soccer?”
Registration and payment is completed online. For competitive programs, a copy of your child’s birth certificate (if he or she is a first-time registrant) and a passport style photo will need to be uploaded at the time of registration. A player will be registered and rostered to a team only if all the paperwork is complete, and the proper fee has been paid. Players for recreational programs do not need to submit any paperwork, however all registrants will be required to acknowledge the LSC Code of Conduct at the time of registration.

All final training schedules are released prior to the start of the season. However the current training schedule is available on our “Schedules” page for your reference. We do our best to match the previous season schedule as closely as possible. Training days and times may vary between Fall and Spring depending on enrollment.
- “When and where are the practices?”
- “Can I request that my child is on the same team as a sibling or friend for carpooling reasons?”
For First Touch and Academy Programs, you may register for a specific session time. If you wish to be in the same group you should coordinate your registrations. For Interleague we can possibly accommodate requests for carpooling with one other player. This request must be indicated at the time of registration for both players. Siblings will be kept together on request, as long as they belong in the same age and gender appropriate bracket. Please note requests are not guaranteed. Elite and Travel players are placed on teams based on ability and requests are not considered.
- “Can I request that my child is on the same team as a sibling or friend for carpooling reasons?”
- “Can I request that my child has a specific coach?”
We cannot guarantee that a player will be on a team or with the same coach or Parent Administrator as last year. Players will be reassigned from season to season in an attempt to keep teams competitive across the program. We generally do not entertain coach or Parent Administrator requests from players.
- “Can I request that my child has a specific coach?”
- “I have a conflict. Can I request a specific practice day and time?”
For the First Touch and U6/7 Academy Programs you can select a specific session time at the time of registration. Unfortunately, for the U8 Academy, Interleague, Elite and Travel programs practice day and times are pre-determined at the Club level to make the most efficient schedules for our coaches and cannot be altered.
- “I have a conflict. Can I request a specific practice day and time?”
- “When and how will I find out what team my child is on?”
The Program Director will contact you once your child has been placed on a team roster.
- “When and how will I find out what team my child is on?”
- “Is participating in practices and games mandatory?”
Soccer is a team sport and participating in practice fosters a team approach to the game, besides learning and trying new techniques. Practices and games, across all programs, should be attended unless you are ill or there is a legitimate conflict with a school, family or personal event. Please inform your Parent Administrator immediately if you are unable to attend a practice or game. Players in the Elite and Travel programs are expected to attend 85% of all events at a minimum.
- “Is participating in practices and games mandatory?”
- “My question was not answered here. Who can I contact?”
Registration questions should be directed to the club registrar, while the Program Directors can answer any questions pertaining to their specific program. Please remember that these people are volunteers and are typically only available in the evenings. Click HERE for a contact list of Board Members and Club Officials. Please note that we are unable to address questions via social media.
