Lightning (2008G)

The Leesburg Football Club Lighting are looking for a handful of new players for the fall 2026 season in the U19 age group (girls born in 2008-2009). If you are interested in a team that has fun and focused practices twice a week, competes in local tournaments, and has much lower fees than the local clubs, then you have found your home!

2025 Atlantic Cup Finalists

Our team will focus on…

  • Enjoying the sport!
  • Competing with each other at practice so we can compete for each other in games.
  • Developing our technical skills equally with our tactical vision.
  • Playing physically and respectfully.
  • Training with clearly communicated goals.
  • Learning what makes a varsity player.

We will be committed to helping parents develop growth-minded young people through strong and consistent leadership and communication.

The team will be coached and trained by Jesse Sheehan. I am a nationally-licensed coach with over 20 years of high-level club and high school coaching experience. I carefully plan all sessions within my season’s  curriculum. I am also a chemistry teacher and soccer dad who understands the need for flexibility with the demanding schedules of high school kids.

2024-2025 Season Recap

LFC Lightning 08/09 finished as finalists in two tournaments this year and got second place in NCSL D2 this fall season. We made it to the final in both the FSCI Labor Day tournament in Fredericksburg and the VA Rush Atlantic Cup in Virginia Beach. Coaches and parents are super proud of this team that started just a year ago.
