By joining STYSA, North Tangi now has access to an effective structure with a full range of soccer programs and development opportunities for its members. The goal of our combined STYSA Organization continues to be to improve our programs and the soccer experience for all kids in our area, to welcome new members to join our STYSA Family, and to manage the Club in an efficient and effective manner, with increased transparency and open communication. Another benefit is that North Tangi will now have the opportunity to train and to play games at the state-of-the-art facility at Chappapeela Sports Park. With increased membership, STYSA will also have a stronger voice at the State level to represent the soccer interests of the entire Tangipahoa Parish at LSA. We are committed to offering a great soccer experience to everyone who wants to play, and an opportunity to participate at any level of competitiveness desired. Our priority is to make this transition as easy as possible. We have put together some answers to initial Frequently Asked Questions on the attached page. As we move along, more details will be communicated to you. We are excited about the opportunities ahead for our combined STYSA Organization!
