LMS Families,

We are so pleased that we were able to get our soccer mini-season in this summer! We hope that the players and their families enjoyed watching some recreational soccer again, while enjoying this summer weather.

I want to thank all of our coaches who made the experience positive for the players and provided them the opportunity to enjoy and learn more about the wonderful game of soccer. Thank you to our sponsors who stepped up quickly to support LMS financially, like they have done for over 35 years. Thank you to our young referees who did an excellent job managing games, teaching players the rules and maintaining a professional standard that LMS demands from them. Thank you to the town of Leamington for keeping our soccer complex in pristine condition.  Lastly, thank you to the parents who signed up their children during uncertain times and set a good example by cheering for their children in a positive manner.

We are hoping that our 2022 soccer season will be able to move back to our usual May-June timeline. We will monitor the pandemic conditions and continue to report to parents through our website.

LMS Executive

Leamington Minor Soccer continues to monitor the most recent  pandemic news from the Province and we are always adjusting accordingly. With the pandemic outlook continuing to improve, LMS would still like all of our soccer families to remain vigilant and follow all COVID guidelines while at the soccer fields.

We would like our soccer families to:

1) respect the physical distancing (2 meters apart) guidelines at all times;

2) only congregate with people in their own households;

3) stay home if you have any COVID symptoms; and

4) encourage all others to do the same!

Thank you for your cooperation and for contributing to our ability to provide your children with the opportunity to play the game of soccer safely.
