LNYSA Field & Equipment Guide

A simple guide to the field setup and equipment used across LNYSA age groups, from MiniKickers through older divisions.

Why This Guide Matters

As the largest league in Laguna Niguel, supporting more than 1,500 players ages 4 to 19, LNYSA supplies a variety of equipment at the field to support different age groups and playing formats.

Because each age division uses a slightly different field layout and goal setup, this page is designed to help parents, coaches, and volunteers understand what equipment should be at the field for their child’s division.

Important Field Equipment Reminder

Field equipment should be set up before the first game and returned to the field locker after the last game of the day.

If you see equipment left out on the field unattended, please place it in the field locker or notify LNYSA right away.

Field Layout & Setup

A simple visual guide to help parents, coaches, and volunteers understand how LNYSA fields are set up for different age groups.

Why Field Layout Matters

LNYSA uses age-appropriate field sizes and game formats to support player development. As players grow, the field gets larger and the format changes to match their stage of learning and the demands of the game.

LNYSA U8 Division Field Layout

Below is the field setup used for the LNYSA U8 Division. This format is designed to give players more touches on the ball, more involvement in the game, and a better learning environment.

LNYSA U9/U10 Division Field Layout

Below is the field setup used for the LNYSA U9/U10 Division. At this stage, players move into a larger playing environment that helps them continue developing positioning, spacing, and decision-making.

Helpful Note for Parents

Different field sizes are intentional and important. Smaller-sided fields help younger players stay engaged, get more touches, and build confidence before moving into larger formats as they get older.
