What ages and program levels does Lansing Common FC offer?The organization centers on a senior men’s team in the Midwest Premier League plus regional and national cup opportunities through that league setting. Youth connection comes mainly through clinics, equipment drives, and partnership with the Lansing School District, not through a full in-club recreational-to-elite youth ladder.
About
Lansing Common Football Club is a Lansing, Michigan–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit built around community soccer. Supporters govern the organization through a volunteer board, and members elect the board and vote on major club decisions. The tagline “For Community. By Community” reflects that structure.
Mission and vision
The mission is to represent the community through soccer as an inclusive force for good: to educate, include, break down barriers, and strengthen the Lansing area. The vision ties long-term, sustainable growth to off-field opportunities for local youth and to giving Lansing-area players and coaches a platform to raise their level and gain visibility in competition.
Senior competitive soccer
The men’s first team competes in the Midwest Premier League, a league whose member clubs emphasize sustainability, strong competition, and regional and national cup play. Home matches are played at Eastern Stadium, 400 North Pennsylvania Avenue, Lansing.
Youth and community programs
On-field work represents a small fraction of the budget and overall organizational effort. Early years emphasized support for frontline medical staff, public park cleanups, and youth sports through small soccer clinics, equipment drives, and collaboration with the Lansing School District, with large volunteer and financial investments in the community. Ongoing priorities include breaking down barriers to youth sports participation and using soccer to bring people together.
How families can engage
Match attendance, membership, volunteering, and board service are central ways people participate. For 2026, supporter memberships bundle scarves, shirts, home-match access, and other perks at several annual price points—for example ambassador around $50, individual season ticket around $80, founders around $200, family season ticket around $200, and legendary around $517. Families looking for youth playing opportunities should email the club or follow its channels for clinic and partnership news; Lansing Common FC is not a full in-house recreational-to-elite youth club ladder.
