Player Expectations

LC United is a player centric club that wants to help guide the players to play at the highest level that is suitable for their desires. The players are the club, and as such always come first and are most important.

As the club values each one of its players, we expect the same in return, the players valuing the club.

Players are selected by the teams head coach, along with input from the entire coaching staff. It is important that players observe the guidelines established by the Club, League and State Associations.
