LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington Sporting Club announced Monday it will join the Girls Academy (GA), a leading youth development platform for female soccer players, in fall 2022.

Through the GA, Lexington Sporting Club youth players will have access to top level training, development, and competition not found elsewhere in the region. Players will receive exposure to the top level of soccer in the country, including NCAA Division I and USA National Team scouts.
Lexington Sporting Club will field teams in the U13 to U19 age groups that compete in the Mid-America conference, which is one of eight conferences across the nation in the GA.
