Programs

Currently, PYSA has two programs:

• Fall Rec Program.  This program is open to players  age 5 – 14.  The session each year runs approximately 5 to 7 weeks, and games are played at Kerr Dam fields on Sunday afternoons.
• Spring Program.  This program is more competitive than the fall rec program, and is currently open for players age 9 – 19.    Practice starts as early as January, indoors.  At this point in the season, practices are typically once or twice a week.   Once the weather allows, we move outdoors and practices are typically 2 to 3 times a week.   Games are on Saturdays, with an occasional 2 or 3 day tournament.   We play teams from all over the state and often travel to other towns for those games.

Both programs are open to any athlete with a desire to play soccer and a commitment to the team and the game.

 Organizational Structure

PYSA is run 100% by our volunteers.  We are very grateful to the people that dedicate their time and expertise to the organization.

There are currently 8 PYSA Directors on the Board.  The bylaws call for 5 to 9 directors.  Terms are one year.   See our Board Page for more information on the current Board of Directors.

Each board member is a liason for one of 7 volunteer committees.  Each of these committees has a committee chair that is responsible for finding more volunteers, and setting and working to reach goals for that committee.

7 Committees

• Registration
• Player and Coach Development
• Fundraising
• Communication
• Field and Equipment
• Referee
• New Facilities Development

PYSA is a part of the Montana Youth Soccer Association, which in turn is a part of  US Soccer.    Each year, we register our players with MYSA  and MYSA in turn facilitates the scheduling of games, tournaments, and keeps track of our rosters.
