LIPSCOMB ACADEMY SOCCER - GIRLS MS

Lipscomb Academy soccer is dedicated and determined to deliver the best results both on and off the field for academy student-athletes.

The program is designed to build the strongest mindset and to stay disciplined as the bar is set high in achieving new goals academically in the classroom and athletically on the field. Confidence and courage are instilled through a development program that will ensure rapid growth in the attitude of student-athletes towards life. Our program's mission statement is to create a competitive, loving and safe environment that challenges our young ladies to develop confidently into who God has created them to be. Spiritual formation is a key component of how academy student-athletes are recognized and what sets them apart from the competition. United as a team, we believe in each other and the school we represent. 

We understand that our talents are a gift, and we can use our gift of soccer to reveal more of who God is and glorify Him. We do this by emphasizing our core values of excellence, grace and humility on and off the field. The girls soccer program started in 2001 and moved into DII AA in 2017.
