Soccer Association
Multi-Tiered Programs
We provide a terrific soccer experience to children from kindergarten through the end of high school.
The Helena Youth Soccer Association (HYSA) is the Helena area’s only multi-tiered soccer organization.
We offer three levels of play for children in grades Pre-K - 12: Micro and HYSL, Academy and Arsenal.
These programs run seasonally in the Fall and Spring.
We also offer programming for Summer Camps, Visiting Professional Training Camps, Goalkeeper Training, Juggling Club and winter Futsal.
Our players have advanced to play at very high levels of the game by winning championships, MVPs, and competing at the collegiate level.
More importantly, our players win many awards in the areas of sportsmanship, community service, and academics. While HYSA encourages success on the field, our core value is instilling characteristics that will make for successful contributors to society. Soccer is the tool we choose to teach these principles.
Our small professional staff works with dedicated volunteers to ensure the highest level of satisfaction for our players and families.
Arsenal
Arsenal
Arsenal is our most competitive level of program participation.
For players and families, it is a lot of fun and also a significant time and financial commitment.
Players attend tryouts prior to the season and are placed on teams accordingly.
Teams are led by experienced, United States Youth Soccer licensed coaches and practice a minimum of 2 times per week.
Players should aspire to increase their technical and tactical abilities and prepare to play at a higher level of competition.
New Arsenal players have usually completed at least 2 seasons of Academy or other higher-level soccer.
Ages: U11-U14 (Fall & Spring) U11-U19 (Spring)
Academy
Arsenal Academy
Arsenal Academy is a developmental program for younger players leading to our most competitive level of Arsenal club participation.
Ages: U9/U10 & U11 (Fall & Spring)
HYSL
Helena Youth Soccer League
The Helena Youth Soccer League (formerly Recreational soccer) is intended to introduce young players to the basic principles of soccer while providing a fun environment to learn and an avenue for older players to continue playing without having to fully commit to competitive travel soccer with the Arsenal program.
Teams are divided by age and gender (grades 5+ are co-ed) and we make every attempt to place players according to their wishes. Rec teams practice once per week and play games on Sunday afternoons. The entire experience is a fun way to meet new friends and get some physical exercise while enjoying the beautiful spring and fall Montana weather!
Ages: U5-U14 (Grades K-8)
Micro
Micro
As part of our Recreational programming, Micro Soccer, through fun games and age appropriate activities, introduces our youngest players to soccer, to practicing, and to learning what they can do and build their confidence in being part of larger activities.
Ages: U3-U5 (under 3 to under 5 years old)
Camps
Players having fun and improving their soccer skill set
