2012 MYSA Summer League Registration Now Open!

Coulee Region Minnesota (CRM) Soccer Club has been fortunate to build a strong and successful program, offering teams in all levels of play from C3 through Premier for area youth ages 11-19 to develop to their highest soccer potential. This success is in great part due to securing a superior coaching staff, a decisive board of directors, and most importantly, by having committed, dedicated players and parents. Additionally, in order to field the most prepared teams in the C1 and Premier leagues of MYSA, some further responsibilities will be required of players, parents and coaches of those teams.

2012 Coulee Region Minnesota Soccer - Summer MYSA League

Coulee Region Minnesota (CRM) Lightning Soccer Club offers youth ages 11-19 the opportunity to play at a highly competitive level. CRM’s charter is to provide competitive soccer and to enhance player development for La Crescent, Caledonia and Winona. CRM also has Wisconsin-based players from La Crosse, Onalaska, West Salem, Holmen, Sparta and Tomah, as well as Decorah, Iowa.

The season, including pre-season practice, typically runs from mid-April to late July. CRM teams play in South District leagues administered by the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA), often traveling as far as Minneapolis/St. Paul and suburbs. Games are usually played on two weeknights with teams practicing on two other weeknights. Few weekends are involved unless teams opt to participate in tournaments. Car-pooling is
organized for away games and home games are played at various fields in La Crescent and
La Crosse.

Teams are formed by age, gender and skill level. There are no tryouts and team rosters
are determined by coaching staff after a review of team needs. Teams are placed in one of four competitive  levels - Classic 3 is the least competitive and Premier is the most
competitive. Traditionally, most CRM teams have participated at the C1 and C2 levels.

Three CRM teams have won state championships, and three CRM teams have won promotion to the Premier level.

CRM Director of Coaching Ed Hoskin aims to continue cultivating a stellar collection of highly qualified coaches from the region. Many coaches have played at the college level and several have college coaching experience. Hoskin believes the club’s exceptional coaching experience has played a huge part in CRM’s past successes.

CRM Lightning Soccer Club is a wonderful way for your child to further develop and enjoy playing soccer in a highly structured and competitive environment. It allows players and parents to meet people from other communities, travel and share a love of soccer.

CRM Team Achieves Premier Status for 2009

The La Crescent-based U17 Coulee Region Minnesota Lightning won a South District championship at the Classic 1 level in August 2008. The team then gained promotion to the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association’s six-team Premier division by having one of the best records among district winners at MYSA’s state tournament at the National Sports Center in Blaine.

“It’s a huge achievement,” CRM Director of Coaching Scott Pirnstill said. “It’s definitely one of the best teams that has ever been assembled in this area. They’re very organized, athletic and highly skilled.”

The Lightning, coached by Viterbo University Men’s Soccer Coach Andy Lee, is represented by players from La Crescent, Onalaska, West Salem and Tomah. The team posted a 10-1-1 record in the regular season before going 1-1 at state.

“It’s always been the goal to get these players to this level,” Lee said. “We won with a lot of quality, and tactically, the team took a big step this year.”

This marks the third time a CRM team has reached the Premier level since 2004. Next summer’s U-18 team will play against sides from Eden Prairie, White Bear Lake, Woodbury (two teams) and New Hope/Plymouth.
