Friday Night Lights Training

Throughout the season, Southlake FC offers complimentary training and open field time on Friday nights to Southlake soccer players on the Hazen High School turf field. This is one of the many benefits of being part of the Southlake FC family. The turf is at the northwest corner of the Hazen campus, west of the large water tanks. For spring 2026, our Friday Night Lights program runs from April 24th through June 5th. All training will be held at Hazen, except on May 1st, it will be at Honey Dew Elementary.

Southlake partners with professional trainers from UK International to provide skills training for our Southlake players. Our Director of Coaching, Bryan Iotte, oversees and helps with the training. The trainings are divided into two sessions by age group. The first session is from 6-7pm for kids under 9 years old. The second session for 10 years old and up is from 7-8:15pm.

Our goalkeeper trainer, Leif Moe-Lobeda, works with keepers as part of Friday Night Lights. The first session is for ages 8-11 from 6-7pm, ages 11-19 train from 7-8:15pm.

If there are sufficient players, unstructured, self-organized open field play with adult supervision goes on at the same time from 6-8pm.
