The Mount Vernon-Lisbon-Springville Youth Soccer Club is entering its fourth year as a club, and looking to cement its future by forming a board of directors. An informational and organizational meeting for the club is being held tonight (Thursday, June 26) at 7 p.m. at Scorz Bar and Grill.
Lewis said anyone interested in learning about the club and this direction are welcome to attend.
According to Richard Lewis, coordinator for the club, the club had an outstanding 2024-25 season, with 96 youth involved in eight different boys’ and girls’ teams from age 10U to 15U.
Six of those teams also advanced to trophy matches at the season-ending tournament in early June, with three teams the 10U boys’, 14U girls’ and 15U co-ed team winning cham- pionships.
“The goal of these programs isn’t just on winning, however, it’s on helping youth soccer move forward and giving youth the ability to play competitively as a team,” Lewis said. “These kids, when they play on the same teams build relationships with other players that develop their skills moving forward.”
After four years of running this league as a coordinator, Lewis is looking for more help to raise awareness about the club, help shape the club’s future and help recruit and sup- port youth playing soccer.
“There is only so much I can do as one person coordinating this club,” Lewis said. “I’m looking for help to more firmly establish our teams and make sure we have coaches to keep these teams local.”
Lewis said the AYSO programs help to provide an uninterrupted pipeline of players from the parks and recreation leagues to when students start playing soccer in the school and high school levels.
