CRM \ La Crescent Youth Soccer

2009 Coulee Region Minnesota Soccer - Summer MYSA League

Coulee Region Minnesota (CRM) Lightning Soccer Club offers youth ages 9-18 an opportunity to compete at a high soccer skill level. CRM’s charter is to provide a competitive youth soccer environment and enhance player development for La Crescent, Caledonia and Winona area youth, and CRM also has membership from youths in La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen, West Salem, Sparta, Tomah in Wisconsin and Decorah, IA.

The season, including pre-season practice, runs from mid-April to late July. Games are played via the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) and teams may travel as far as Minneapolis/St. Paul and suburbs. Games are usually on two weeknights and teams practice on two other nights. Few weekends are involved unless a team elects to participate in a tournament. Travel is by cooperative car-pooling and home games are played at various fields in the La Crescent area.

Teams are formed by age, gender and skill level. There are no tryouts and team rosters are determined by the coaching staff after reviewing team needs. Teams are placed in one of 4 competition levels--Classic 3 is the least competitive and Premier is the most competitive. Most CRM teams participate in the C2 and C1 leagues.

CRM Director of Coaching Scott Pirnstill has cultivated a stellar collection of highly qualified coaches from the region. CRM players will benefit from their collective talents and the staff provides an exceptional coaching experience. Many coaches are have college-level or above playing experience and several are current college coaches.

CRM Lightning Soccer Club is a wonderful way for your child to enjoy the game of soccer in a comfortably competitive environment. It gives both players and parents a chance to meet new friends from other communities, travel and grow to love the sport of soccer.

2009 MYSA Summer League Registration Coming Soon!

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. CRM is making a few changes to the timing and structure of registration to better serve CRM players and coaches. Additionally, in order to field teams in the C1 and higher leagues of MYSA, some further responsibilities will be required of players, parents and coaches of those teams.
