RYAA is not run by <br />the City itself, rather an independent non -paid volunteer board of directors. <br />Also, all coaches, assistant coaches, individual sport directors, and other <br />coordinators are volunteers. RYAA offers Baseball, Basketball, Softball, Football, <br />Recreational Soccer and Traveling Soccer to the youth of Ramsey and surrounding <br />communities. NLS stands for "Northern Lights Soccer Club." NLS is the club <br />name used in association with Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). <br />MYSA is the governing body for youth soccer in the state of Minnesota and <br />they require a club name for all competitive soccer organizations. Over the last <br />4 years the NLS name has been used as a primary identification for Ryaa's <br />traveling (competitive) soccer teams. To make a long story short ... RYAA <br />soccer is recreational soccer and NLS soccer is traveling soccer, but they both <br />operate under Ramsey Youth Athletic Association's umbrella of sports. <br />Upcoming Events: <br />This spring Northern Lights Soccer Club will be offering Goalkeeper <br />Development Clinics for youth soccer players ranging in age from 5 to 15. <br />These clinics will be put on by State certified coaches from MYSA. Also, NLS <br />will be teaming up with the North Metro Soccer Association and the State <br />Referee Association to offer referee certification and re- certification clinics. <br />Clinics will be held at Oakview Middle School in Andover on March 16th and <br />23 <br />Day one is for recreational soccer referees, day two is for currently <br />licensed referees needing re- certification and both days are necessary for <br />competitive soccer referees. Fees are $10 for the facility usage and an additional <br />fee TBD for the license. We are in need of older youths or adults to be certified <br />for competitive soccer games due to our program growing faster than our referee <br />pool.
