The Riverton Youth Soccer Association was established over twenty years ago to provide the youth of Riverton with a quality developmental program in soccer. The recreational program offered through RYSA always has been, and remains the cornerstone program of our association. It is our aim to provide all the youth of our community with an opportunity to participate in active development of soccer skills and good sportsmanship. We emphasize development of soccer skills through active competition in our recreation leagues.

RYSA offers recreational soccer through its various leagues every fall and spring. Over 400 Riverton area children participate annually in our recreation leagues.

Leagues are formed for boys and girls in the following age groups: U-5, U-6, U-8, U-10, U-12, U-14, and U-16. Leagues may be coed, or, if the numbers are sufficient, divided into gender categories at the different age levels.

We also offer opportunities for all coaches to learn or expand their soccer coaching knowledge. Entry level coaches learn the fundamentals of the game and the essential skills and philosophy of coaching youth soccer through fun, hands-on coaching clinics. For those seeking greater challenges in coaching, we provide opportunities through State sponsored clinics taught by licensed USSF coaches from around the region. We strongly encourage parents to become involved as coaches of this “beautiful game”.

Recreation soccer is played at the Rein Park Soccer Complex for the U-5 through U-10 leagues and at Central Wyoming College or Riverton high School for upper age groups.
