About
Lincoln Youth Soccer offers recreational soccer, select soccer, a Kindergarten / Pre-K soccer program, middle school recreational soccer, U8 – U10 LYS Development Soccer, and U11 – U17 LYS Competitive Soccer. The program uses Playmetrics as the app and website to manage teams and communication during the season.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Fall season runs from late August to the end of October, and the spring league runs from early April to mid-May, with an 8 game season from September to October for Forest Heights Soccer Club.

Lincoln Youth Soccer states its mission as: “Provide positive soccer experiences that change lives for the better.” LYS is based in the Lincoln High School District of Portland, OR, and is a community-based non-profit that exists thanks to a parent volunteer workforce. The Recreational Programs participate in the Portland Youth Soccer Association (PYSA), and the Select Programs participate in the Oregon Youth Soccer Association Timbers/Thorns league. Forest Heights Soccer Club fields soccer teams from 1st to 5th grade in the PYSA League and supports a Kindergarten / Pre-K Soccer program, and 5th grade is in partnership with Lincoln FC and Hillside, Ainsworth, and Skyline. FHSC is a volunteer-run organization with volunteer coaches and board members, and scholarships are available on request to any family in need for Forest Heights Soccer Club. FHSC requires families to purchase a team uniform for 1st – 5th grade age groups, and uniforms are not required for the Kindergarten Program.
Lincoln Youth Soccer describes itself as a community-based, youth-centric soccer program that values long term development over short term wins and prefers a parent-coach model over a pay-to-play approach with hired coaches. The program states that its fees are often 50–70% less than the clubs it competes against and that it offers generous need-based financial aid that supports players in participating at no cost. Teams play at all levels, including the most challenging competitions in the state, and the program focuses on player joy, freedom, kindness, creativity, confidence, innovation, and problem-solving. The stated mantra is: “Be Kind – Have Fun – Play Hard.” Forest Heights Soccer Club leadership includes Co-Presidents Emily Busse and Jessica Torres, Treasurer Jiwon Park, and Emeritus Eric Happel.

Forest Heights Soccer Club requires families to purchase a team uniform for 1st – 5th grade age groups at a cost of $44.25, which includes a navy blue Nike jersey, shorts, and socks. Kindergarten families who do not purchase a uniform are instructed to send their child to practice with a comfortable shirt and shorts. FHSC families can purchase uniforms and gear from Tursi’s Soccer by asking for the Forest Heights Soccer Club uniform in-store at the Downtown Portland location or online at Tursi’s Forest Heights Soccer Page, with options for convenient pick-up or shipment to home.
