We offer soccer programs for boys and girls aged 3 to 19, designed to accommodate all skill levels. Our programs range from recreational play to competitive travel teams, ensuring there is a pathway for every player—from beginners to those pursuing elite academy-level training.

Tryout information is available on our tryout registration page. While we have scheduled tryout sessions, we also maintain an open-door policy—players can request to practice with their respective age groups at any time throughout the year to determine if LFC is the right fit for them.

Lancaster FC has recently merged with Lancaster Elite, uniting two historic clubs under the LFC badge. In addition, we were acquired by COPA Holdings in 2025—a soccer-focused investment firm with over 20 years of domestic and international experience. These strategic developments bring new resources and opportunities to our club.

Our travel teams, which cater to players in the U9 to U19 age groups, are organized into four tiers: Academy, Elite, Premier, and Development. This structure is designed to continuously challenge players and support their progression within their age group.

Our teams are currently competing in the EDP, USL Academy, and UPSL leagues. Additionally, we are expanding our women’s program into the UWS and are committed to developing a professional senior soccer team in the future.

We are dedicated to hiring the best coaches both domestically and internationally, ensuring that players receive top-tier coaching on a weekly basis. Our lead phase coaches work closely with head coaches and our Director of Coaching (DOC) to guide every player’s development. We also encourage our academy players to participate in high school competitions as an integral part of their growth.

Our full-time Residential Program is tailored for high school and college-aged players, offering year-round competition in leagues such as UPSL and USL, along with high-level scrimmage games. We also provide a gap year option for players who wish to further prepare for college, supported by dedicated resources for college placement.

The acquisition by COPA Holdings brings significant resources to Lancaster FC, including the recruitment of top-level coaches from around the world and a commitment to advancing our competitive programs. With COPA’s backing, we’re enhancing our pathway opportunities, which now include ventures into USL League Two, United Women’s Soccer, and professional senior soccer—positioning our club in a new category of excellence.
