August, 2005 - Press Release

La Crosse & Onalaska Soccer Clubs Merge

When families come together to support an organization for the benefit of children, “Great Things Happen!”

It is with great excitement that we announce that the La Crosse Soccer Club and the Onalaska Soccer Club are combining their resources to form CRUSA - Coulee Region United Soccer Association.  An organization that shares the common goal of promoting competitive soccer in the combined communities.

This cooperative agreement between the clubs will create a much stronger club, both in terms of talent and coaching abilities.  All players will be treated equally and will have access to the “Fields for Kids.”  Integrating players and coaches from the greater La Crosse area will make our teams even more competitive in state and regional competitions.  More importantly, we will ensure that our programs will continue to address the soccer needs for all of our players at all levels of play.

Our expectations are that this venture will have a positive affect on all of our players, from our youngest players to our area high school teams, resulting in higher skill levels and cleaner play.
