Spring 2026
Registration:
- Our league has divisions for players from 4-year-old PreK through high school, following a school-year calendar. We follow a school-year calendar, so players in the league must have turned 4 years old or above by August 2025. (Younger players may register for one of our Intro to Soccer classes for 3- and 4-year-olds; registration for these classes will open in February.)
- Player division for the spring must be selected based on age/grade as of August 1, 2025.
- Priority registration is available only for players who are returning from the Fall 2025 season. If you were part of our fall season, please check your email for more details.
- IMPORTANT: Participants may make a coach/friend/practice day request, but we cannot guarantee that any requests can/will be accommodated. Generally speaking, priority is given to those players registered the earliest, but consideration is also given to balancing teams.
- Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to be a coach by emailing us at soccer@lexchurch.com.
Other Important Info:
- The season runs from mid-March through May, with 10-12 weeks of practice and 7+ games. Cost runs $115-145 (depending on the age group) and includes a full uniform kit (jersey/shorts/socks), the season's league t-shirt, a printed devotional booklet, and an end-of-season medal.
- Players returning from the Fall 2025 season will have a reduced fee if they stay on the same team and do not require a new uniform.
- There are two convenient locations for practices. Make sure to double check that you are registering for your preferred practice fields: either "LCA" (Lexington Christian Academy's fields along Keithshire Way) or "Athens" (Centenary Church fields off Richmond Rd., behind Brenda Cowan Elementary School).
- Practices are once a week on a weekday evening at either 5:30 or 6:30. (A Sunday afternoon or evening practice day may occasionally possible only with enough interest/coach request, but it is not a standarad offering.) Players are not added to Wednesday or Sunday practice teams unless they specifically request it, list it as an option, or set their first priority as a coach or friend who is on that practice day.
- Games are on Saturdays, with start times typically between 8am and 2pm.
- Teams in the 4yo through 2nd/3rd Grade divisions will play games at their practice location. The 4th/5th Grade and Middle School divisions will typically have games at both locations (typically 1-3 games at the "away" location).
I AM 3RD Soccer has one of the largest recreational soccer programs in Kentucky. Our league focuses on providing the players a great development curriculum in a safe and positive environment that parents can trust. As a non-profit organization, we rely on parent volunteers to coach, but we provide appropriate resources and materials. All coaches must complete background checks and sign our Coaching Contract.
We offer fall and spring outdoor leagues, as well as Intro to Soccer classes and various summer sports camps. We also offer a Player Development Academy, which is a select soccer program for the most advanced players. We are confident your family will enjoy our comprehensive program. We would love to have the opportunity to help your child grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially.
Volunteers
I AM 3RD®'s soccer program is one of the largest in the state with over 2,300 kids playing each season. This would not be possible without major volunteer power. We are grateful to the many parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors who give their time to support these kids each season. We have varying opportunities available to serve for those interested, ranging from coaching and referee positions to administrative help.
Our coaches are ALL volunteers and have varying levels of coaching and soccer experience. These persons are the backbone of our soccer league and we know how important it is to support their efforts. When you join our league, we hope you will always be willing to pitch in and help in some way: maybe send emails, bring snacks, pick up items for the team, help with game day sidelines, etc. We will solicit help from parents to ensure each team has enough volunteers to make it a great season. To become a volunteer, please identify on your registration in what ways you are able to contribute, or contact us at soccer@lexchurch.com
Scholarships
Scholarships are available for players based on need and availability of funds. All scholarship requests must be submitted prior to registration so that, if approved, a discount code can be used.
