Lady Viking Soccer has
been rated as one of the best recreational soccer clubs in Northwest Indiana
and consistently ranks as an exceptional value, rewarding experience, fun,
entertaining, and friendly league.
Players are encouraged and
supported by licensed coaches who have played the game, and professional trainers
who have played internationally. Our coaching staff is comprised of men and
women who have committed to the NYSCA Coaches’ Code of Ethics. Unlike other
leagues where winning is the ultimate objective, Lady Viking Soccer coaches and
board members emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship.
Lady Viking Soccer offers
a competitive, yet fun playing experience without the cost and inconvenience of
traveling. Located in Northwest, Indiana LVS teams play all their matches at
our home fields based in Valparaiso. Most matches are scheduled on Saturdays.
Some of the divisions play Friday evenings and some play Wednesday evenings
under the lights.
For the past 12 years LVS
has offered recreational soccer to girls in a safe learning environment where
players can enjoy the game of soccer. Word of mouth has attracted many new
members leading us to expand the league to now include girls in grades 1
through 12. On average our players remain with the league for 5 years. Some
have progressed from start to finish and have returned as volunteer coaches and
referees.
