<br />ELMCREST PARK SHELTER <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DEB <br /> <br />Soccer was first organized in <br />Ramsey in 1985 under the non- <br />profit organization known as the <br />Ramsey Youth Athletic Association. <br />It began as a recreational program <br />for ages 3 to 12 with a mission <br />to teach local youth good <br />sportsmanship, teamwork and the <br />game of soccer. A competitive <br />program for ages 7 to 19, now <br />known as "Northern Lights Soccer <br />Club" (also known as "traveling <br />soccer"), was added in 1999. It <br />quickly grew from a single team <br />of 16 players during its inaugural <br />season to 36 teams and 507 <br />players from 38 different cities in <br />the 2010 summer season. <br /> <br />In 2006, the Anoka Youth <br />Athletic Association merged their <br />youth multi-sport association <br />with Ramsey Youth Athletic <br />Association, and the program <br />was renamed the Anoka Ramsey <br />Athletic Association. Northern <br />Lights Soccer Club (NLS) continues <br />to operate within the non-profit <br />legal organization known as Anoka <br />Ramsey Athletic Association. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Northern Lights Soccer Club <br />has produced five Minnesota <br />Youth Soccer Association State <br />Champions and 11 State Champion <br />Runners-Up. In 2007, the Anoka <br />High School boys' varsity soccer <br />team comprised almost <br />exclusively of NLS members - <br />won the Minnesota State High <br />School League Class 2A State <br />Championship. They were the <br />first north-metro boys' soccer <br />team to win a High School State <br />Championship. <br /> <br />Over the years, Northern Lights <br />Soccer Club has continuously <br />remained responsible stewards of <br />the funds under its control. Fees <br />have historically been maintained <br />at levels lower than similar clubs in <br />surrounding areas, and the Soccer <br />Club has applied for and received <br />five grants for various projects. <br />A program was established to <br />provide funds to underprivileged <br />families so that no child is turned <br />away simply because of financial <br />difficulty. <br /> <br />I ,/ l <br />I~'I ,.
