SCRIMMAGES AND NON-FALL SEASON GAMES - For teams that wish to request field space for scrimmages, contact the Director of Operations. Fall NorCal games fields costs are by the league; scrimmage are paid by for the team. Robertson fields are $25/hr; others $5/hr. Remember, now that the regular playing season is over, the we do not have reserved field space outside of tournaments and regular High Comp training session.

GOALS
Goal Setup - The team parents that are first to arrive for the days' games need to set up the goals. This is the responsibility of the parents on both teams. Coaches are encouraged NOT to set up the goals themselves, but to focus on the pre-game activities with the players. Players are NOT to setup and store goals for safety reasons. They too should be focused on preparing and playing the games. Parents and spectators should set up and store goals. U5-U6 fields have a white locked "net box" what contains the flags and cones for the game. These boxes are chained to a nearby tree or fence. All other age groups have a locked "net box" that will have a key lock to secure the items. Coaches have the key. Goals are usually located near the "net box' and are also chained to a nearby tree or fence. Coaches have the key or combination (which ever is appropriate). Inside the net boxes are nets and flags for the fields in that location. The Goal Store - The parents on the last game of the day for the field they are on (if no one is waiting to play, consider your game the last of the day and store the goals). Goals MUST be staked down! For more safety information from the US Government for goals, please click here and read. Here is another resource.
PLEASE do not tape nets to goal bars. This severely shortens the lifespan of the goals and nets. Report missing goal clips or velcro strips for replacement. Should you need to report missing or damaged items, please do so right away so corrections can be done as soon as possible.

Fields are a vital resource in youth soccer. Without them there is no place to hold a game. LSYL is working diligently with our Livermore Area Recreation & Park District (LARPD) to give the kids a safe and fun environment to play soccer. Towards that end, the league has a number of initiatives that it is actively working on:
You might have read some recent newspaper articles referring to some improvements we are working with LARPD on for major improvements to Roberson Park. The improvements will benefit the players with improved space for games, practice, and training. House and High Comp players will be able to share more and better field space together. However, this is only one thing we are actively making progress on. By using our fields efficiently (such as rotation off of worn fields so they can rest and repair) and assisting in field improvement, we create better playing conditions with what we have already have access to. By providing our experienced knowledge as well as fundraising assistance we can also add value to existing and hopefully new fields. Yes, Livermore is one of the few cities around that does not have its own Sports Complex. LYSL is activity working with LARPD and the other Youth and Adult leagues in the city to make a Sports Complex a reality! We are far from seeing the dream come true, but the last few years there has been forward progress. We could use more help! As things evolve, look to this space for more information. We appreciate any help you can provide, so please feel free to contact us with what you can do to help the league's field situation improve.
