LCSL Manager’s Notebook 2

Introduction

The term “competitive” has become a euphemism for “results-oriented”. To call our statewide
league competitive is misplaced as it ignores the fact that recreational players compete just as
hard as those in our state league. Competitiveness does not differentiate levels of play, just the
emphasis upon which those teams place the results of games. The ability to compete is, in fact,
one of the life lessons we all hope to teach all of our children through sports. Two years ago we
stopped referring to LCSL divisions as “Comp 1”, Comp 2” and so forth. We simply call them
Divisions. We are continuing our growth of the game across the state. The name of our state-
wide league will now be known as the “Louisiana Classic Soccer League”. We will still use the
acronym “LCSL”, but the name change reflects a continued movement away from the
misnomer “Competitive”.

Rescheduling a Game

Procedure

To reschedule LCSL games, teams must follow the process below. Should you have any
questions, please contact Program Manager Ben Schoonover at ben@lsa-soccer.org.

1. Host teams should first confirm field and referee availability with their club before
submitting or agreeing to a request. If a field and/or referee crew is not available for the
requested date/time, both teams must continue to work together to find a date that
works.

2. After confirming with the host club’s assignors (aside from neutral games), log into your
Got Soccer team account.

3. From your team Home Page, click on your LCSL Event Link

2018-19 Louisiana Competitive Soccer League – 15U-17U or
2018-19 Louisiana Competitive Soccer League – 18U-19U

4. Go to the “Schedule” tab. Submitting teams will see their game schedule.
5. Next to each game there will be a “Make Request” button. In the box that appears enter

the date, time and location requested. To make a request to play a game within a club
tournament, on a weekday or on a field not available in the drop box, please clearly
state those details in the comment box before submitting.

6. Click “Submit”.
