LACONIA — This Sunday, Aug. 20, is the deadline to register for the Lakes Region United Soccer Club's fall season.

Lakes Region United offers competitive soccer opportunities for boys and girls in the Lakes Region who love the game and want to improve their skills. The club is now in its 10th season with more than 120 players from a variety of local towns, including Laconia, Gilford, Belmont, Gilmanton, Meredith, Alton, Moultonborough, Sanborton, Canterbury, and New Hampton.

Athletes 10 to 19 years old play travel soccer within the New Hampshire Soccer League, while athletes 6 to 9 years old develop skills locally in the club’s Early Development Program. The Early Development Program offers local practices and small-sided, intra-squad games that emphasize strong soccer fundamentals.

Lakes Region United is a non-profit organization that keeps costs reasonable by relying on parents who were former soccer players to coach the teams, and by benefiting from the generosity of local towns, which provide field time for practices and games. Registration for the fall 2017 season will be $100, $75 for the Early Development Program.

Players interested in playing this fall must register on LRUsoccer.com by the Aug. 20 deadline.
