About
Liberty Hill Youth Soccer Association (LHYSA) is a nonprofit youth soccer organization based in Liberty Hill, Texas, serving more than 500 players a season across recreational and competitive programming. The club has operated since 1994; the competitive side operates as Liberty United (LU), branded for accelerated growth from 2021. Families choose between volunteer-led recreational divisions and the Liberty United pathway for higher commitment and licensed coaching.
Recreational soccer (U4–U19)
Recreational soccer focuses on fun, community, learning the game, and life skills. Division IV covers U4–U10 with volunteer coaches, no travel, and Saturday games at Liberty Hill. Season fees run about $150–$170 depending on age band (U4–U6 lower, U9–U10 higher), and the game uniform is included in registration. Division III covers U11–U19 in CAYSA against other Austin-area clubs: half of games at home and half away, Saturday and Sunday games, about $255 per season, and a roughly two-year uniform cycle purchased separately (around $90 plus tax and shipping through the club’s Soccer.com process). DIII practices twice a week for about 90 minutes; DIV practices once a week at Liberty Hill City Park, with length set by age. Tournament entry for DIII is generally parent-funded; LHYSA covers team entry if a team is invited to CAYSA District Championship or STYSA State Championship.
Liberty United competitive (U7–U19)
Liberty United is LHYSA’s competitive division from U7 through U19. Teams can play in DIV+, DII, and SII league environments as rostering allows. Expect about two practices per week plus a technical training evening and goalkeeper training. Coaches carry USSF licenses. The program emphasizes development, creativity, teamwork, and discipline, with a full-year Fall and Spring commitment. Prospective families can attend a practice at no cost via the club’s interest form, arrange a trial practice by emailing the select staff address, or pursue mid-season opportunities with the Director of Coaching where space allows.
