Lou Ramos Winter Leagues

The 2023-2024 Lou Ramos Winter Leagues are Back!

An exciting, fast-paced winter league to keep your game sharp!

"The walled turf arenas at the Lou Ramos Center allow the ball to remain in play up to 95% of the game. This means more contact with the ball for the players and a much greater opportunity to utilize dribbling, passing, and receiving techniques we stress at the younger age groups. Rather than waiting for the ball to be put back in play on a small touch-line field, players are constantly engaged in the game, and that is great fun."

2023-2024 LEAGUE RESOURCES:

Schedule

League Information:
  • The Winter League season will start up on December 4th!! Registration deadline = November 21st 
  • Holiday Breaks: December 23rd-26th & December 30th-January 2nd
  • Games at the Lou Ramos Center: The LRC is a new facility with top-of-the-line turf fields, full plexiglass walls for excellent viewing, a heated interior, indoor bathrooms, televisions, and full concessions stand.
  • The Lehigh Valley Winter Leagues use the U.S. Soccer Mandated Birth Year Age Groupings.
  • A full 10-game season keeps costs lower and assures all teams have finished their season by Spring.
  • "Game Day" times are approximations of your usual game times. These may be moved in extreme cases as necessary.
  • Larger brackets may be split and tiered for closer competition (i.e., one 12-team league into two separate divisions).
  • Back-to-Back age groups or genders may be combined for optimal bracketing  (Combined 2008/2009, Boys/Girls, etc.)
  • 4 Goal Differential Max - Rewards teams for playing good defense instead of running up scores.
  • Games will usually take place on your primary game day. Teams should be prepared to play games on the alternate day if necessary for scheduling purposes.
    • ​Age groups will be capped at 9 teams initially to ensure each group has time blocks on their primary and alternate days. This is subject to change for groups where we create multiple divisions. Waitlisted teams may still be accepted depending on numbers at other age groups.
  • For the Middle School and High School age groups, we are not restricting each group to certain birth years. However, we have the right to examine each team at those age groups to ensure they are not taking advantage of this rule and playing more skillful, older kids "down" an age group.
League referee INFORMATION:

Referee Fees are not included in the League price. All league referees are assigned by Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League Referee Assigner - Hal Grahn. Referee fees are to be paid directly by the coach individually before each game starts.

  • Youth: $15/Game
  • High School: $18/Game
  • Adult: $21/Game
"HOUSE TEAM" INFORMATION:

Seeking a team to participate with in the Lehigh Valley Winter Leagues? Sign up for the "House Teams" at no cost below to be put on a waiting list. If enough players sign up to form a team, we will create a new team from those players. If not, we will reach out to other coaches in the division to see if anyone is seeking additional players! Make sure to select your age group from the drop down menu in the registration when signing up.
