Hey Soccer Families! 👋
Do you have a future World Cup star (or just a kid who loves to run in circles and occasionally kick things)? Then it’s time to lace up those cleats and register for the East Lansing Soccer Club’s Kindergarten/1st Grade League!

🗓 Registration is OPEN now through August 26, 2026
💰 Cost: $50 for the Fall 2026 season
📍 Location: Right here in East Lansing, where the grass is green and the goals are slightly crooked (just like we like it).

Whether your child is a seasoned dribbler or still figuring out which way to run, we’ve got a spot for them. Our Kindergarten/1st Grade league is all about fun, teamwork, and post-game orange slices.
Spots fill up faster than a juice box on a hot day, so don’t wait!
👉 [Register Now] https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/520997
Let’s kick off another awesome season—see you on the field!
Cheers,
East Lansing Soccer Club
