Recreational · ages 3–6
Tiger Cubs
Tiger Cubs is where it all starts. Our youngest players learn to dribble, pass and play in a relaxed, low-pressure setting. The goal is simple: have fun and fall in love with the game.
Tiger Cubs is a skills program, not a team. Kids are grouped at each practice and may play with different friends each time, and we use small-sided games during practice to put new skills to work.
- Once-weekly practices focused on skill development
- Small-sided games during practice, with no formal teams
- Volunteer parent coaches
- Always at the LGSC Soccer Complex in Greendale
- Spring and Fall sessions
$80 per season
Included: a Tiger Cubs t-shirt.
Families provide: cleats, shin guards and a ball.
Recreational · up to age 12
SAY Recreational

- Fall season of 8 games: about 4 at home and 4 away
- Practices 1–2 times a week, set by your coach
- Spring training camps
- Volunteer parent coaches
- Away games at nearby partner clubs (see addresses)

Competitive · by tryout
Premier
LGSC Premier is our most competitive level of play. Teams are selected through tryouts or player evaluations and get more rigorous training and competition. It's built for players who want to take their game further, whether that means high school, college or beyond.
- Practices 2–3 times a week
- 8 games a season: 4 home, 4 away
- Teams may add tournaments and extra technical training
- Training camps led by professional players through our partnership with Indy Eleven
- Coached by unpaid volunteers, which keeps fees low. Many Cincinnati clubs pay professional coaches, so please consider whether that's the right fit for your player.
$200–$600+ per season on average
Included: uniforms, carding, league fees, training and insurance. No hidden fees.
Varies with: team size, tournaments and training.
