Welcome to the home of the
Lazers Soccer Club 98/99 Premier

2012 LSC Lazers
Lazer's Team Philosophy : The LSC Lazer's is a team and program that plays a high level of soccer, at a low cost to the parents. Many of our boys play multiple sports, and this is a team and program that understands that, and works with parents to help each player grow as a soccer player, and lets the boys also play other sports. We are a feeder system for the local high schools, and the LSC Lazers have an excellent track record of placing our players at the local high schools , and beyond. The LSC Lazer's is the top rec travel program in Harford County with more teams, our own tournament in August, as well as our Futsal Academy. We are partnered with the DC United Futsal Academy, as well as our Lazers/DC United Training Camp, and the LSC Winter Futsal League. LSC Lazer's 98, and teams in our program, have not only won many local leagues and tournaments, but some of the top tournaments in Region 1. We also offer team training with local soccer legend Bobby McAvan for a week during the summer. LSC Lazer's 98 has placed first or second in many prestigious tournaments like Hempfield,Dillsburg, Gettysburg, Chesapeake Cup, and a host of others. All of this is offered for about a quarter of the cost that some of the second tier club teams charge, or the second, third, or fourth tier of the big club teams, that suppliment their premier teams off parent's fees from these teams. We have partnered with the top professional team in the area , DC United, to provide the very best training to our players. LSC Lazer's 98 has placed first or second in 21 League and Tournament Championships at the Premier and A level, since it's inception, and finished 2010 ranked #14 in the state of Maryland in the Gotsoccer.com poll. We also put a premium on player development from within our program, and do not resort to the underhanded recruiting tactics that some of the clubs are currently doing.
