We pride ourselves on the diversity of our programs, which includes a recreation program with over 2500 players. Our recreation program is based in the South Davis County area and has been operating for over 40 years with kids from age 4 to high school seniors. In the south end of the valley, we partner with Sandy City Recreation to help train and develop the 5 to 8-year-olds within the city recreation league. We are also very proud of our Top Soccer program which caters to kids with special needs and has grown to be the largest of its kind in the State of Utah. Our Juniors Program is geared toward preparing kids to play in the competitive soccer environment. Our competitive and ECNL programs allow our players to test themselves against the best players in the state as well as in the country.


Our Soccer Pathway and Belief System:

Player Development Philosophy
We believe that the best way to develop youth soccer players is in an environment that provides a variety of high-level, fun playing and training experiences.

Training sessions are balanced and incorporate a variety of different game models to provide players with a well-rounded soccer education. Weekly training is based on the game of soccer, where the objectives and activities are game-like, and the players have soccer problems to solve. We also place value on technical work, 1 v 1 activities, and small-sided games for the holistic development of players.

We believe that players will learn best in an environment that is fun and where the ball is rolling. While soccer is a team sport, the focus is on developing each individual within the team.

About the Program Design
The Utah Avalanche program is built from our beliefs about how players develop (identified in our player development philosophy) and work towards high-level outcomes in the form of a defined team-playing philosophy and a defined elite player profile. Our program follows a games-based syllabus and uses a variety of different training methodologies, games programs, and off-field support to provide players with a well-rounded, elite development experience.
