About
City SC Utah is a Riverton-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs youth soccer for families across the South Valley and greater Salt Lake City area. Programming runs from about ages four through nineteen, mixing a year-round Pre-Academy entry point, Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) competitive teams, and older national-platform flights for boys and girls who want MLS NEXT II, Elite Academy, ECNL Regional League, or Development Player League tracks, plus a WPSL pathway for high-school-aged players into adult women’s soccer.
Mission, culture, and pillars
The organization centers on igniting lifelong passion for soccer, bringing joy to the community, and building a lasting legacy. Day-to-day culture stresses passion in the training environment, strong family and neighborhood connection, and life lessons taught through the game. Four pillars anchor decisions: Community (healthier, happier, safer neighborhoods and giving back), Innovation (creative problem solving and big ideas), Team First (servant-leadership habits and doing what helps the group), and You (belief in each player paired with high expectations).
Pre-Academy (about U5–U8)
Pre-Academy focuses on advanced-for-age training ideas while keeping fun and love of the game at the center. Registration stays open year-round, with outdoor training blocks in late summer through fall and again in spring, fall and spring games, and indoor winter training from November through February. Winter league or futsal fees sit outside the core Pre-Academy bundle. For the 2025/26 season the all-in Pre-Academy total is $550, covering coach, registrar/state, referee or league, equipment and field share, and a uniform allotment paid through soccer.com, with five club service hours expected or a $100 opt-out fee.
UYSA competitive (about U9–U19)
Competitive soccer is organized into Premier, Elite, and Select levels for both boys and girls. U9–U12 teams play in UYSA X-League; U13–U19 teams play in the UYSA league structure. Teams add in-state and out-of-state tournaments beyond league calendars. The club schedules a primary tryout window each May and continues evaluating players throughout the year for roster movement. Riverton-area birth-year groups route questions to Sebastian Casallo; Salt Lake metro groups route to Fred Velez. Kristine Tillmann leads competitive program questions at ktillmann@cityscutah.com or (801) 618-7479.
National platforms and women’s pathway (about U13–U19+)
Boys U13–U19 can pursue MLS NEXT Academy and Elite Academy tracks; Patrick Rennie fields questions at prennie@cityscutah.com. Girls U13–U19 can pursue ECNL Regional League or DPL second-team flights; Danni Burrows supports those pathways at dburrows@cityscutah.com. The club also connects U14 players through adult women into the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL), with the same girls-platform contact for details. For 2025/26, tuition-style totals land around $3,617 for MLS NEXT II and about $3,676 for ECNL RL before travel and extras, with uniform purchases through soccer.com, indoor facility and equipment bundles built into the subtotal, Soccer Resilience support folded into the line items, and five service hours or a $100 buy-out mirroring other programs. Utah State and City SC membership lines can shift if a player also takes UYSA league minutes.
Salt Lake Metro fee schedule
Families training primarily under the SLC metro model follow a separate 2025/26 grid: totals including uniform run about $1,379 at U9 up through roughly $2,279 for U14–U19 Premier/Elite play, with five volunteer hours per family or a $100 fee, and financial-assistance participants committing to twelve volunteer hours instead of the shorter service expectation.

Frequently asked questions
Where is City SC Utah based, and how does geography split teams?Headquarters and mailing operations sit in Riverton at 12432 S. Meadow Spring Lane. Competitive birth-year groups divide between Riverton-area assignments and Salt Lake metro assignments, each with its own head of player development contact. City SC Utah South adds Utah County programming centered on Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, and Lehi.
When are tryouts and how does registration work?UYSA competitive programming holds a scheduled tryout each May while still evaluating players year-round for openings. Pre-Academy skips tryouts and registers continuously. National platforms such as MLS NEXT Academy, Elite Academy, ECNL RL, and DPL use dedicated tryout messaging; families should confirm the active registration window before traveling because upcoming seasons sometimes show as to-be-determined until released.

Riverton-area UYSA Premier/Elite annual totals run from about $1,491 at U9 to roughly $2,614 at U12, about $2,927 for U13–U14, and about $2,919 for U15–U19, each before optional service buy-out and soccer.com uniform purchases at $250 for competitive kits. Salt Lake metro Premier/Elite totals including uniform span about $1,379 at U9 through roughly $2,279 for U14–U19 with five volunteer hours or $100, and aid recipients owe twelve volunteer hours. MLS NEXT II lands near $3,617 and ECNL RL near $3,676 in the all-in tuition bundle, with travel, extra tournaments, and some referee lines still family responsibilities.
What is City SC Utah’s mission and coaching philosophy?The nonprofit mission pairs player development with character development: build skilled soccer players and grounded people.
