Helena Youth Soccer Association

Helena Youth Soccer Association in Montana (HYSA) is the only multi-tiered soccer organization in the Helena area. HYSA offers three levels of play for children in grades Pre-K - 12, starting with Micro and Recreational, and peaking with Arsenal.

Micro Soccer is a fun way to introduce our youngest players to soccer, through games and activities that build their confidence and skills. Recreational Soccer is a great option for players who want to learn the basic principles of soccer and have fun with their friends, without having to commit to competitive travel soccer. Teams are divided by age and gender (grades 5+ are co-ed) and practice once per week and play games on Sunday afternoons.

Arsenal Academy is a developmental program for younger players who want to prepare for the most competitive level of soccer, the Arsenal club. Arsenal is for players who aspire to increase their technical and tactical abilities and play at a higher level of competition. Players attend tryouts prior to the season and are placed on teams accordingly. Teams are led by experienced, licensed coaches and practice a minimum of 2 times per week.

HYSA’s programs run in the Fall and Spring, and also include summer camps, special skills camps, Goalkeeping and Juggling Club, and more. HYSA’s players have advanced to play at very high levels of the game, winning championships, MVPs, and competing at the collegiate level. But more importantly, HYSA’s players win many awards in the areas of sportsmanship, community service, and academics. HYSA’s core value is instilling characteristics that will make for successful contributors to society. Soccer is the tool we choose to teach these principles.
