Soccer Academy

Welcome to the LSS Soccer Academy!

The LSS Soccer Academy is a credited course offered during school hours. Students earn PHE Credits while learning the game they love. This academy is open to all Langley Students in Grades 9-12 of any skill level. The Soccer Academy will run in Semester 2 from February to June. Although the academy will cost $600/student (clothing, gym membership, field trips and guest coaches), it is the cheapest school academy in the Fraser Valley and scholarships are available. If money is an issue, we will help!

Students in the academy will receive tactical knowledge, psychological/motivational training, technical development, and physical fitness on the field, in the classroom, and other facilities. A partnership with Vancouver FC Soccer Club provides professional coaching for our players.

Soccer Academy Facility Use

February-June: Some fields may change to gym/lacrosse box days depending on weather.

The Soccer academy will primarily use MacLeod Oval Synthetic Turf Field and a grass field (Michael J. Smith South or Macleod Northwest – Eric BySouth). There may be times where other academies or LSS PHE classes will be using the turf field so a second location (grass field/lacrosse box) may be used.
