TOWN OF LOCKPORT — Lockport Soccer Club is holding team tryouts for boys and girls in U8-U19 divisions.
The tryouts, to be held at the Day Road Soccer Fields, will be held twice for each age group — Sunday and again Aug. 26. For boys and girls trying out for teams U8 - U13, sessions will be held from 6-7 p.m. each date. For boys and girls trying out for teams U14 - U19, sessions will be held from 7-8 p.m. each date.
All players have to attend at least one of the tryout sessions. The organization encourages all players to attend both, if possible. In some cases, coaches may also schedule additional tryouts if they cannot make one of the sessions. This will be communicated either prior to the tryout for returning players, or at registration.
The group will be using the same criteria as last year for age appropriate groupings with returning players trying out for their current teams and new players trying out for the team that is in their age group.
The player's age on Aug. 1 determines their age appropriate team. For example, a player who was age 12 on Aug. 1, will be in the U13 (Under 13 years old) division.
Questions regarding tryouts should be directed to LSC Vice President Mike Finnerty at 628-5867.

The Boys U15 Lockport Lightning Premier Soccer team won the 2015 New York West State Cup Final Four Championships last weekend.
The competition involves 185,000 players with over 10,000 teams at the beginning of the yearlong season and ends with just 48 teams competing for a national bracket spot.
In Friday’s matchup, the Lockport team defeated Buffalo Empire 2-0 and on Saturday, they shut out Waza Soccer Academy 5-0. A tie against Syracuse Development Academy was enough for them to earn the title of State Champions.
Coached by Scott Moreland, Brad May and Ian Martin, the team will now compete in the US Youth Soccer Region 1 Championship held in Barboursville, W.Va. on June 25. Winners of the Region 1 Championship move on to the National Championships in in Tulsa, Okla.
This team is the first team in Lockport Soccer Club history to compete at this level.

Bar owners are soccer fans — at least this week.
The United States team advanced to the second round of the Fifa World Cup this afternoon, despite losing to Germany 1-0. That means more business for area bars that have been showing the games.
Chris Knapp, manager of Lock 34 said there's been a noticeable increase in business during the games. The Main Street bar was full of patrons during the game this afternoon, many taking their lunch break during the game and others just there to watch soccer on three big-screen TVs, including a 90-inch one.
"The longer the U.S. stays in it, the better for us," Knapp said.
Knapp said the business was even busier for Sunday's 2-2 tie against Portugal.
While the Niagara Hotel didn't have the crowd that Lock 34 did, those there were watching the game with interest, hoping for a win by the American team.
Fitzgerald's on Ohio Street felt a positive impact from the game, as well, according to one employee.
"We had a few people here today to watch the game," she said.
Jodi Newton of the Pleasant Valley Tavern said patrons at the Lowertown bar stuck around just to watch more of the game.
Some bars missed out on today's soccer crowd due to the early start of the game — noon on a weekday. And at least one said there was no noticeable change in business, that being Scruples in Newfane.
According to Nielson ratings, games so far have attracted record television viewership, including an average of 24.7 million for Sunday’s game against Portugal.
Even President Barack Obama seems to have World Cup fever. He reportedly watched today’s game aboard Air Force One.
