The Lady Lions Soccer has try-outs next week

There are still openings in the Lady Lions Soccer League, which has try-outs on Monday, August 28 from 4 to 5:15 pm at Peacock Park.

The season starts on September 1 both recreational and travel.

The all girls league was started by a group of parents who came together to solve the problem of why their girls were losing interest and failing to thrive in the co-ed leagues. Coach Daisy Holcombe and Coach Andres Miranda were also finding across the co-ed leagues that girls were being ignored, defeated and uninspired at even just the beginning recreational level. 

A survey last year proved that girls wanted an all girls recreational league in District 2. Inspired and informed the coaches and owner of the Lions SC, Ricky Mor, went to Commissioner Ken Russell for additional field space and support of an all girls league and presented their findings and the parental cry for help.

“I grew up in New England where Title 9 meant all sports had equal representation for all girls. After graduating as a two time All American, 17 years coaching and coming to Miami as a semi-pro player, I was astounded as a mom that girl either played co-ed recreational or elite all girls travel teams," said Daisy, who is coach and League Director

From there the Lady Lions Soccer League was formed.

Free goalie, shooting and skill clinics are held monthly featuring specialized guest coaches and parent involvement. Between season fitness days are held where the cleats and gloves come off. Parents are encouraged to participate in these training days.
