The Lowell Area Select Soccer Organization (LASSO) is a non-profit soccer organization formed in 1997 to provide additional playing opportunities and experience to players looking for a higher level of soccer coaching and competition.

LASSO offers teams for boys and girls from the U7 (under 7) to U19 levels, as participation demands. All teams are formed on the basis of annual tryouts, which are held in June and are open to everyone.

RETURN TO PLAY ACTION PLAN

We know that everyone will be excited to come together and train, however, it is imperative that all coaches, players, and families adhere to these guidelines.

This Return to Play Action Plan addresses many critical details that MUST be followed by all players, parents, coaches, and staff to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved with our club and community. LASSO will communicate the official transition of Phases at the appropriate time. We are all in this together and need everyone's commitment to follow these club mandates. As a LASSO member, it is your responsibility to adhere to these policies.

The progression through the stages of this action plan will be determined by Club Leadership in evaluating all current data available and based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, the State of Michigan, Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, local government officials, and in consultation with health professionals.

We know that everyone will be excited to come together and train, however, it is imperative that all coaches, players, and families adhere to these guidelines. If the State of Michigan stays in Phase 4 then we will expect the following to happen:
