Wolves Men’s Soccer Club
Background: The NSU Soccer club has been in existence since the mid 1990s and is a member of the Great Plains Soccer Conference. Below is a list of all the universities involved in our conference:
AUGIE = Augustana (Sioux Falls, SD)
MARY = University of Mary (Bismarck, ND)
MSUM = Minnesota State University-Moorhead (Moorhead, MN)
NDSU = North Dakota State University (Fargo, ND)
NSU = Northern State University (Aberdeen, SD)
SDSMT = South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (Rapid City, SD)
SDSU = South Dakota State University (Brookings, SD)
UND = University of North Dakota (Grand Forks, ND)
Our season lasts around two months from the time school starts to the end of October. We play each team in our conference twice, once at home and once away. Practices are usually held everyday (Monday – Friday) from 4-6pm and we have games nearly every weekend. When traveling to away games, we will discuss who will be able to drive and who will ride with whom, that way no one is left out.

As a team we will take part in fundraisers to help pay for such expenses as gas money, new equipment, referee and field fees, and a post-season party for the club. These fundraisers range from car washes to raffle tickets to t-shirt sales. We are always open to new ideas for fundraisers and any creative ideas are welcome.
Since we are a club team, we welcome anyone who enjoys playing soccer or simply being active to join us. Our club is open to both men and women, regardless of prior soccer experience. The only requirement we have is that you be a student at NSU. This means you must be in enrolled in at least one class.
My goal is to organize a team each year to be able to participate. I know that schedules are complicated and I will try to organize meetings and practices to fit most of those schedules. If you or anyone you know is interested in playing in or being a part of the club, please feel free to contact me via phone or email with any questions. I would be more than happy to arrange a meeting to talk with those interested in person if so desired. Thank you for your time.
