Located in Allentown, PA, less than 10 minutes from the Lehigh Valley International Airport, the Lou Ramos Center is the home for indoor soccer in the Lehigh Valley. Built solely with the beautiful game in mind, this facility features two (2) indoor turf arena fields perfect for exciting 7v7 games and three (3) netted indoor turf fields well suited for faster-paced 5v5 matches.
The Lou Ramos Center embodies the philosophy that the beautiful game is to be enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels. Beyond hosting pickup footy matches, this facility features league play for adult and youth soccer players. For adults, the LRC offers three leagues. The Open Men’s league on Wednesday nights features 5v5 games. The Open Women’s on Tuesday nights and the Open 40 Men’s on Monday nights are both 6v6 leagues. Grab a few of your closest friends, and sign up for the upcoming league season before it’s too late! 🏆
For the up-and-coming youth ballers in the Lehigh Valley, there are leagues available for children aged six to eighteen. The LRC features leagues for both boys and girls, all of which are 6v6 competitions. A cool feature that these leagues have is an alternate day for league games to be held in case the match can't be played on the original day it was scheduled. And if you’re a free agent on the market and looking for a team, sign up as an individual and the LRC will find a team that is in need of a player.
With so many high-quality fields for you to choose from, the Lou Ramos Center is one of the Lehigh Valley’s top places for facility bookings. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, you can host your team’s practices on one of the five pitches available here.
Are you an experienced coach looking to put on a clinic for youth players? Have you been searching for a place to host a birthday party? Whatever your facility rental needs are, the dedicated staff at the LRC can help make your experience here unforgettable! 🥳
The Lou Ramos Center isn’t your everyday footy facility. This go-to indoor soccer destination is named in honor of the late Lou Ramos. He was pivotal in the creation of Lehigh Valley United, or LVU, a soccer club that currently plays in USL League Two.
The club has since grown to feature youth teams, summer camps, soccer academies, indoor and outdoor tournaments (like the Lou Ramos Classic), Lehigh Valley Recreational Soccer League, and much more.
Lou Ramos was involved in the soccer community in the Lehigh Valley for over 25 years. For him, coaching soccer players exceeded teaching basic skills and techniques. It was about teaching young people the skills and techniques to be successful in their lives.
In the words of Lou Ramos, he stated, “LVU has a philosophy of developing high quality soccer players who love the game, have respect for fellow players, and have an appreciation for world class performances.” This is the philosophy behind the Lou Ramos Center, as well, and it translates into everything they do here.
