Livingston Youth Soccer Association

Livingston Youth Soccer Association provides youth in the Livingston area with the opportunity to engage in soccer activities that will enhance their physical, mental, emotional, and social development in a safe and nurturing environment. LYSA promotes the values of good sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and personal excellence.

Livingston Youth Soccer has been a volunteer-led organization in the community of Park County since 1985. In that time, LYSA has served over 8,000 youth participants, providing growth experiences on and off the pitch for youth ages 5-19 in both a Spring Competitive League and Fall Recreational League. We have partnered with the Livingston Recreation Department to offer indoor soccer (futsal) during the winter months for the past 10 years, offering year-round contact with youth participants and parents.

Ways We Engage:
-Our Spring competitive teams travel across the state, from Libby to Sidney, representing our community and playing a high level of soccer.
-Our Fall recreational program engages parents through coaching, refereeing, and an improved understanding of the game.
-We train our coaches with a national-level curriculum- all coaches adhere to US Youth Soccer standards to uphold the safety and well-being of the children.
-We offer and run summer soccer camps with nationally renowned partners in youth soccer.

We also continue to maintain Northside Park, with some of the finest soccer fields in Montana.

Testimonials

"Soccer has always been a part of my life. Moving to a new community is always nerve-wracking and LYSA warmly welcomed me over 7 years ago. I was able to establish as a true community member, give my knowledge and love of soccer back to the kids, and build lifelong relationships and friendships. I am grateful for this organization and now get to see my children benefit from the program that has given so much to me." -- Maggie Tarr

"Playing soccer in Livingston in all my formative years, from five years old to eighteen years old, not only taught me to love a game that is a lifelong affair, it offered me friendships and a space I could count on" LYSA participant
