REESE PARK FIELD STATUS
Please check here daily (after 4pm) for the status of our fields. If the entire PARK is closed due to weather, there is to be NO ONE out practicing. We will only close the park if there are safety concerns (lightning, extreme winds, etc.). If we close the FIELDS you are still welcome to practice, but you must stay off the lined fields. If there is no notice about the PARK or FIELDS being closed, then please assume they are open. The DATE that they are closed will be included. This will be updated around 4pm on days with bad weather. I cannot get home any sooner to check the fields, so check at 4pm or later please.

January 1, 2024 8:07 amContact Us
Going forward, if you need to reach us, please email directly to AskLYSA@lebanonyouthsoccer.com as our webform for contacting us is no longer working.
Please make sure you have NOT opted out of receiving emails from LYSA. On your GotSport Account/Main Profile tab you should have the option to Opt-Out of mass email communication. If you selected the check box, please de-select it. 100% of the emails from LYSA Administration will come through GotSport and you will miss out on important information. IF you have checked all of this and you have not received a single email from LYSA or your coach, email us immediately!
Additionally, in regards to GotSport, please DO NOT ever pay for anything (the app/team app) etc. We do not recommend it, and we do not want you wasting your money on it. The best way to view GotSport is via their direct website and while on a computer (it is tricky but manageable on a phone or tablet.) If we could, we would not use this site, but we are mandated by Indiana Soccer. Apologies for all confusion and issues with GotSport, but we are here to answer any questions.
