About LYS Developmental Teams

Developmental soccer is great for kids who are enjoying their Rec soccer experience and looking for more soccer! Players will participate in a Sunday Developmental League in addition to their Saturday Recreational League. Kids should expect to have:

• one practice and one game per week with their Developmental team
• one practice and one game per week with their Recreational team

In total, 2 practices and 2 games per week. All Recreational games are in the Portland area and all Developmental Games are played either at Delta Park or Portland Christian. The Developmental Program has a Fall and a Spring season. The Fall season starts in September and runs through the first Sunday in November. The Spring Season runs from the last Sunday in February through the first Sunday in May.
