Halloween Open Cup is a wrap!
🎃⚽🎃⚽🎃⚽🎃
What a fun way to close out our grassroots soccer season for Lansing School District students.

Our thanks to East Lansing Soccer and Eastern High School Soccer for bringing their teams out today.

We appreciate all the coaches, parents, and supporters who cheered through the MANY matches and tons of goals, and our volunteers including Liboka FC and our board members who provided registration, grilling, and referee services.

Finally, our thanks to Eric Walcott from Lansing Common FC for presenting a donation during the event. This will be put into new balls and shin guards as we prepare for winter training.

See you next year!

Twas the night before Halloween
And all through the field
The lines were getting painted
With (mostly) straight lines at speed

Our co-founder, Coach Lovitt, and his family are pillars of this club, supporting our sports and education mission in so many ways.
They are currently focused on their little girl's recovery in an Ann Arbor hospital. Any support from the RLFC community will help with their extended stay away from home🙏.

Wil and Jenna Lovitt’s baby girl, Lucia, was admitted to the hospital … Lesley Wadlow needs your support for Coming Together for Lucia and the Lovitt Family

Congratulations to the high school soccer players, coaches, families and supporters across Greater Lansing!

Our Lansing School District teams and other Lansing schools gave us plenty to celebrate this fall, including outstanding regular-season success. For those whose postseason runs ended in districts, that doesn’t take away from their accomplishments or the pride they brought to their schools, especially to Eastern who inspired so many kids across the Lansing district to get into soccer. To every team that competed, congratulations on your season. To the district champions, congratulations and good luck representing our area!

A special congratulations to DeWitt on its district championship win over a strong Eastern team. DeWitt’s energy, desire and organization stood out. Watching was a learning moment for me as a coach. Those are standards we are committed to building in our players: prepared, organized and ready to give their best in every game and situation, whether it’s a scrimmage or a state final, or a classroom quiz.

RLFC would not be what it is today without the care and support of the DeWitt soccer community and so many others. They’ve donated balls, snacks, equipment and money to our mission, and without their support we wouldn’t be the success story we are today. Costel, DeWitt’s assistant coach, is one of three founding board members and one of our biggest donors. Jason, whose son captained the DeWitt soccer team and graduated last year, is our club administrator and vital to what we do. The club and I are grateful for these relationships and proud to celebrate their successes.

At RLFC, we respect and celebrate every school and player. We’re excited to work with high school players across the area, not just Lansing schools. Whatever school you attend, you are welcome to be part of RLFC. We have a distinct approach to the game and how it’s played, and everyone is welcome.

We have big things coming this year and are ready for another huge step forward for quality, affordable soccer in our community.

Our goal is simple: to be affordable and to be the best. This season, we’re putting that ambition into action.

Player development at Real Lansing FC goes beyond the field. ⚽️🧠

All RLFC players are invited to join Professor Michael Murillo of Michigan State University and TEMPEST for an interactive session about how AI works, where it can go wrong, and how to use it thoughtfully as a study partner. It’s one more way we help our players grow in the classroom and beyond the game.
