Youth Soccer Club FAQ | SSD Lorenza

What is SSD Lorenza?
SSD stands for Società Sportiva Dilettantistica, an Italian term commonly used for an amateur sports organization.

It means development is at the center of what we do, but the club is built through people. Players, families, coaches and supporters all help shape the environment around the team.
Is SSD Lorenza a traditional soccer club?
SSD Lorenza is built to feel more personal and intentional than a traditional club model. The focus is on team identity, player development, clear communication and a connected player experience.

What does “Squadra Femminile” mean?

Where does SSD Lorenza compete?
SSD Lorenza teams compete in the Heartland League and selected local or regional tournaments. Our goal is to create a strong competitive environment without placing unnecessary travel or cost demands on families.

No. Development includes technical, tactical, physical and mental growth. We want players to improve as competitors, teammates and people.
