Northern Lights Soccer Club was formed in 1985 and our mission is to provide quality recreational and competitive soccer programs for youth ages 4 to 19 in the communities of Anoka, Ramsey and surrounding areas. Our soccer programs are affiliated and regulated by Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA), United States Youth Soccer (USYS) and we are a division of Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association.

We encourage you to check back often as we continue to add features to our website for both our recreational and traveling soccer programs.  On the left side of this page you will find links to the programs we offer as well as forms, documents and other information you may find helpful.  Visit the ARAA home page and you will find a calendar that has our current and future events.

If there are features that you would find helpful or information that you are looking for and you can’t find them here, please feel free to email the ARAA Soccer Commissioner by clicking on the "Soccer Committee" link on the left side of the page and then selecting the email address of the NLS President.

As a affiliate member of Minnesota Youth Soccer Association, Northern Lights Soccer Club has adopted the new online registration for criminal background checks of all our volunteers.  These checks will be done once per fiscal year (August thru July).  Use the links below to register as a coach, assistant coach or board member.  You will need to contact our director of risk management and obtain the login and password.
