What ages and program levels does Valley Revolution cover, and how does it relate to Wasilla Youth Soccer?Wasilla Youth Soccer Association serves players ages 3 through 19 across recreational and competitive tracks. Valley Revolution is the competitive, year-round program for athletes who want that higher-demand pathway, with training and league-style play bundled into one annual competitive offering rather than a short seasonal clinic model.
About
Valley Revolution (VR) is the competitive soccer arm of Wasilla Youth Soccer Association (WYSA), a third-generation 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves more than 1,300 players and families across the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and other Alaskan communities. While WYSA as a whole runs programming for children ages 3 through 19 at many ability levels, VR is built for athletes who want a year-round, travel-style environment where development—not short-term results alone—drives decisions.
What Valley Revolution offers
The annual competitive program is all-inclusive and year-round, pairing age-appropriate training with competitive matches in one continuous track. The mission is to grow a competitive soccer culture where driven players sharpen technical skill, mental toughness, and teamwork so they are ready for what comes next in soccer and in life. The vision is to be known for developing strong players and leaders who show sportsmanship, dedication, and love for the game. That sits alongside WYSA’s wider role in stewarding fields, advocating for healthy youth sport, and keeping player safety and fair play central.
Tryouts and joining the program
VR holds open tryouts during the third week of August. Players who hope to join mid-season should email the Valley Revolution office to ask about supplemental tryouts or a player evaluation rather than assuming an open roster spot.
Where teams train and play
Home training and games draw on several Mat-Su venues. The turf field at Curtis Menard Sports Center is at 1001 South Clapp Street in Wasilla. Additional outdoor space includes the MTA Event Center soccer fields at 645 East Cope Industrial Way in Palmer and the Bumpus Soccer Fields along Mystery Avenue in Wasilla. Exact field assignments can shift by team or season, so families should confirm locations with coaches or club staff as the calendar moves.
Club leadership and Valley Revolution coaching
Kate Lapham serves as executive director; Stephanie Bowen is finance manager; Cory Cole is director of coaching and also leads several Valley Revolution teams. Meghan Montagne coordinates the recreational program side of WYSA, and Crystal Nunley is club registrar—useful contacts when paperwork or registration timing questions come up. Head and assistant coaches staff boys and girls birth-year teams from roughly 2009/10 through 2017/18 cohorts, with dedicated goalkeeper support on some age groups, so families typically work through their team’s lead coach for week-to-week soccer questions.
Office, uniforms, and family support
The WYSA office is at Curtis Menard Sports Center, Suite 146, 1001 South Clapp Street, Wasilla, AK 99654. Mailing correspondence may go to the Wasilla Youth Soccer Association address on East Mountain Village Drive (suite B, PMB 696), Wasilla, AK 99654. Valley Revolution uniform orders use the club’s Soccer.com storefront bundled with other parent resources; recreational uniform ordering follows a separate path. Families who need fee assistance can submit WYSA’s player financial aid application, and WYSA’s policies index covers codes of conduct, tryout rules, refunds, and safety expectations for anyone who wants the full detail.
