The Burlington Lakers Soccer Club is a premier girl's travel club that was formed by coach Fran Demasi in 2001. The club focuses on team play and sportsmanship. High level coaching in a fun and enthusiastic environment can be expected. Coaching consists of technical and tactical skills improvement, communication, endurance, and teamwork. High level soccer training requires the commitment from the payers, parents, and coaches. The club's main purpose is to insure that each player has an enjoyable soccer experience while moving toward her own personal goals.

What to Expect

Weekly skills and weight training sessions will be offered throughout the winter months as long as there is enough interest.

Beginning in late April, there will be two outdoor training sessions per week held at either Rock Point field behind Burlington High School or at the Hazelett field which is located behind Hazelett Strip-Casting Corporation in Colchester. All teams will play in Division 1 of the Vermont Soccer League. More information on this league can be found on the website, www.vermontsoccer.org. AS part of this league we will play a 7 or 8 game schedule through the month of May. These games are typically played on the weekend. In addition, we will participate in the Vermont State Cup which is held the first weekend in June. The winner of this tournament will represent Vermont in the regional tournament at the end of June which will be held in Portland, Maine in 2007.

Teams will also participate in 2 or 3 out of state tournaments.

The indoor leagues and winter training are optional, but once we begin our outdoor training we expect total commitment from the players.
