Tonka United Soccer Association

General Summer Recreational Information

TUSA , a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide the youth of our community with a quality soccer program, facilitates a Summer Recreational Program. The program runs early May through mid-July (10-weeks) and typically consists of one practice and one game per week, offering more than 1,200 youth, K-9th grade, the opportunity to play summer soccer with the help of more than 200 volunteer coaches and age group coordinators.

TUSA operates independently of the Hopkins/Minnetonka Rec and Chanhassen Park & Rec, under the direction of the TUSA Board with the help of a full-time Director of Operations, Director of Coaching and Rec Director. The club relies on many volunteers as well as sponsorships and fundraising.

The purpose of our rec program is to provide an opportunity for young players and their families to have fun while learning about soccer. Each practice and game should teach and encourage young players.

At TUSA, we play small-sided games to give players an opportunity to get more "touches on the ball". All players should play about the same amount of time in each game and should have an opportunity to play in each position. This is a NO score, NO standings, NO protest league. This rule applies to coaches, parents, players and spectators.

While our rules are based on the FIFA Laws of Soccer, they have been modified to establish an environment for a healthy, fun program as well as create opportunities for every player to be successful.

In addition, TUSA also facilities a Fall Starz of Tomorrow and Winter Starz of Tomorrow programs for PreK-2nd grade along with a Summer Starz of Tomorrow Camp for ages 5-10.
