Academy Director Greg Bibeau gregbibeau@gmail.com
Executive Director Phil McGovern info@helenasoccer.org
Ages: U9*, U10, U11
Academy Soccer's main emphasis is on skill development: the personal technical soccer skills the player needs to advance in soccer.
The commitment level is higher than in the HYSL (recreational league); there is travel and players practice at least twice a week and play games against other clubs or extended sessions at home fields on Saturdays. Saturdays and Sundays if at a tournament.
*U9s; anyone wishing to register a U9-year-old should contact Phil at info@helenasoccer.org.
*Generally, U9s need to be in third grade, and have a birth date before June 30th of their birth year. U9s when their birth year reaches U10 per USYS they will remain as an U10.
Players do need to purchase a uniform separately from the program fee. Uniforms are usually updated every two years.
Academy teams will play a travel schedule and play in our local tournaments that are included in the program fees. Efforts are made to keep travel close to home for matches.

IMPORTANT: For the Fall 2024 season, we are attempting to restructure the 5th-8th grade division by creating all girls' teams and all boys' teams. We need additional female players to make this happen. If we do not get the number of players needed, we will resume the 5th-8th coed teams.
Registration ends August 11. There is NO late registration, as this causes delays in team formation and delays our coaches getting started with practicing.
No refunds after August 25.
Helena Youth Soccer League (previously named Recreational) is intended to introduce young players to the basic principles of soccer while providing a fun environment to learn and an avenue for older players to continue playing without having to fully commit to competitive travel soccer with the Arsenal program.
