For the 2024/2025 season, Kings Hammer will follow US Youth Soccer guidelines and will organize its teams by birth year. Interested players must register based on their birth year. 
The Kings Hammer philosophy for forming teams is as follows:

Our team forming philosophy revolves around our evaluation process which is tailored to each individual player within our club. Continuously assessing player’s strengths, weaknesses, and developmental needs allows us to determine the most conducive environment for their growth. Through various evaluation methods employed year-round, we meticulously track each player’s progress and tailor action plans accordingly. This could entail providing guest playing opportunities across different tiers within the club, ensuring players are placed where they can thrive and maximize their potential. Our commitment lies in creating personalized pathways that foster both individual and team success.

Tryouts for the 2024/2025 Season have concluded. If you are interested in joining a team, please contact the Program Director above.

Kings Hammer Parent Perspective Before Joining

SOCCER VILLAGE IS THE OFFICIAL UNIFORM PROVIDER FOR THE 2024/2025 SEASON.
PLEASE NOTE THAT U5(2019)-U6(2018) DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE A UNIFORM KIT – SHIRTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE REGISTRATION FEE.

The 2024/2025 Season will be the second year in a two-year uniform cycle. It is recommended that all new kits are purchased immediately following tryouts in order to receive them in time for your first game.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE UNIFORM ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS.

Please email lori@kingshammer.com with any questions regarding uniforms.

Using the Professional Trainer/Volunteer Coach model, each team will be paired with a dedicated Professional Trainer for training sessions and to support the volunteer coach. The assigned trainer will remain with the team throughout the year. Various factors, such as the number of teams, the trainer’s coaching background, and alignment with age-appropriate programs, will determine the team-trainer match. The trainer assignments will be finalized and announced by July 1st. Below is the list of Coaches/Professional Trainers for the 2024/2025 Juniors Lexington Programming.
Under the Premier High School Age groups, we will continue with the Professional Coach approach. The same list of coaches will be used to determine the team-coach pairings. Similar to the Junior teams, multiple factors will influence the selection of coaches, such as their experience and compatibility with the program’s goals. Team-Coach assignments for the Premier High School Age groups will also be finalized and announced by July 1st.
