GLSA has now partnered with the Locker Room to provide uniform kits for every player in GLSA. The kit will include a High Quality Sublimated Shirt, Shorts and Socks with age specific design.
GLSA is proud to announce that starting in the Fall of 2025 we will now offer a 4u age division
4u-6u players will be placed on a team based on their zip code as registration numbers allow. 7u-19u players are placed on teams to the best of GLSA’s ability by a blind draw based on their zip code as registration numbers allow.
We honor requests as roster size permits for new players only (A new player is one that has never played with a NTSSA team.)
For the sake of fairness and balanced teams in our recreational league, requests for specific teams or coaches are not accepted for returning or inactive players
We allow 5U through 8U players to play up one age division; 9U through 19U players may play up 2 age divisions. Please make note in the Request field if your player is playing up.
Repool means to remove a player from his/her currently rostered team and place on another team by blind draw. GLSA automatically repools all players in the Fall in the 9U age division only. This is mandatory and exceptions will not be made. A player may voluntarily request at registration to be removed from his/her currently rostered team and placed on another team by blind draw by selecting”Yes” to the question “Do you want your child placed on a different team?” during the online registration process.
The Fall season begins the first Saturday after Labor Day in September and ends the first Saturday in November. The Spring season begins the first Saturday of March and ends the second Saturday in May. The second and third Saturday of November and the third and fourth Saturday of May are reserved for rainout make-up games. Rainout reschedules may be held on Sundays.
Practices should not be held before 5pm since most parents do not get off work before this time. Coaches will need to find a location at a school, park, or church.
The games are played at Lear Soccer Complex, located at 100 Pals Parkway. 5U through 14U games are played on Saturday; 15U through Adult games are played on Sundays; 15U-19U may have weeknight games as well.
Coaches are instructed to call their players as soon as possible after the team assignment meeting. That date is listed on our season newsletter.
Players need shin guards, soccer cleats are optional but highly recommended and an age-appropriate ball.
5U to 8U: size 3 ball; 9U to 12U: size 4 ball; 13U to Adult: size 5 ball.
All registered players are covered by a secondary insurance through North Texas Soccer. Please contact the GLSA office for claim forms if your player is injured during the season.
We use guidelines which can be found under Coaches for youth games and under the Programs: Adult for adult games.
All 5U through 8U players receive a participation trophy. Awards for 9U through 19U are determined by league standings and the number of places awarded is based on the number of teams in each age division. The breakdown can be found under Programs: Recreational. The Adult winning team(s) may receive a $200 credit towards T-shirts for the team or for next season’s team registration.
Academy soccer is an opportunity for 7U through 10U registered recreational players to increase their playing ability by practicing with experienced coaches. This does not take the place of recreational soccer, but enhances it. GLSA does not require Academy players to be rostered to a recreational team; however, a player’s recreational team is considered primary for games and practices. Please contact the GLSA office for more information.
Competitive soccer is a select level of soccer for players who are eligible for 11U through 19U age divisions. Teams are required to have tryouts and the selected players sign a year-long contract, pay a fee to be on the team, and travel to play games, usually to Tyler or the Dallas area.
