Ignite FC

St. George, Utah

About

Ignite FC is a competitive youth soccer club based in St. George in Utah’s Greater Zion region, founded in 2018 with a possession-oriented style modeled on European football. Families join for structured travel teams across boys and girls age bands, a pathway from introductory training into league and tournament play, and a club culture that treats families as part of one organization rather than a loose collection of rosters.

What the club offers

The club operates two competitive brands under one umbrella. Ignite teams—often labeled Orange, Black, or Purple—carry the original club identity, while Rebel Elite teams in Black, White, and Pink bands were added in 2023 and have quickly built a record in Utah Presidents Cup and regional competition. Together they field dozens of birth-year rosters from early elementary ages through high school, with separate boys and girls teams at most age levels. Boomers Academy serves boys and girls ages 4–9 who are exploring or preparing for competitive soccer through short camp-style training blocks focused on ball control, passing, striking, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Seasons, training, and competition

Players typically train about two nights per week, most often at Sullivan Soccer Complex or Little Valley Soccer fields, with some teams using other local sites. Each soccer year includes a fall season and a spring season, with roughly eight to fifteen games per season—usually one weeknight—with many matches at the Shivwits fields west of Ivins. Tournament travel and extra events are decided team by team and billed separately from core club fees. The club calendar aligns with Utah Youth Soccer Association rules, including synchronized tryout windows across local clubs each spring.

Tryouts and age-group alignment

Tryouts for the 2026–2027 season run in early June at Sullivan Soccer Complex, with sessions split by school-year age groups from U9 through U19 for boys and girls. Families should arrive fifteen to twenty minutes early for check-in. Starting in fall 2026, UYSA and partner leagues shift back to school-year age groups with an August 1 cutoff, so team placement follows grade-style bands rather than calendar birth-year brackets alone. U8 players may train with U9 groups in the current seasonal year, and players who miss a session can still be evaluated when coaches have roster space.

Fees, kits, and registration

For 2026–2027, club fees are $195 per player, or $163 for high-school players who participate in only one of the two seasonal blocks. That fee covers coaching support, team equipment allotments, administrative costs, and field access for training. Official Ignite and Rebel Elite Adidas kits are required separately—about $220 youth and $229 adult for Ignite, or $197 youth and $214 adult for Rebel Elite—and UYSA registration fees run roughly $220–$280, or $190–$195 for high-school players in a single season. Tournament entry, travel, and optional fan gear sit outside the club fee and are managed by each team.

Philosophy and community role

Ignite FC emphasizes technical possession play, united effort, and a family atmosphere within Southern Utah’s competitive landscape. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and welcomes sponsorships, volunteer coaches, team administrators, and community partners who want to grow local soccer. Steven Beckstrom serves as club president, with a volunteer board and registrar Holly Yergensen supporting registration and roster administration.

Contact

Use the club contact form for tryout questions, Boomers Academy waitlist requests, sponsorship interest, or players new to the area. Because UYSA recruiting rules restrict coach outreach before the May recruiting window, families already on another club roster should plan around tryouts or the transfer window rather than informal coach contact.

Frequently asked questions

What ages and program levels does Ignite FC offer?Ignite FC fields competitive travel teams for boys and girls from early school ages through U19, organized under Ignite rosters and Rebel Elite rosters at most birth years. Boomers Academy welcomes boys and girls ages 4–9 in short training camps that build fundamentals before families move into tryouts and travel teams. High-school players can join full-year rosters or, in some cases, participate in a single seasonal block at a reduced club fee.

Where does Ignite FC train and play games?Most practices happen two evenings per week at Sullivan Soccer Complex or Little Valley Soccer fields, with some teams using other local sites around St. George. League games spread across fall and spring seasons, often one weeknight per week, with many matches at the Shivwits fields west of Ivins. Tryouts and Boomers Academy sessions also use Sullivan Soccer Complex.

When are tryouts and how does registration work?Tryouts for the 2026–2027 season run in early June at Sullivan Soccer Complex, with separate blocks for boys and girls by school-year age group. Online registration opens before the UYSA recruiting window, but coaches cannot initiate recruiting contact until the third Sunday in May. Families should arrive fifteen to twenty minutes early; attending every session helps coaches evaluate players, though one missed night can still work when communicated in advance.

What do club fees, uniforms, and UYSA registration cost?For 2026–2027, club fees are $195 per player, or $163 for high-school athletes in a single-season arrangement. Required Adidas kits cost about $220 youth and $229 adult for Ignite teams, or $197 youth and $214 adult for Rebel Elite, ordered through Soccer.com. UYSA registration adds roughly $220–$280, or $190–$195 for high-school players in one season. Tournament fees, travel, and optional gear are separate team decisions outside the club fee.

What is Ignite FC's playing style and club structure?Ignite FC was founded in 2018 with a possession-based approach influenced by European football, emphasizing technical development and team identity over sheer roster size. Rebel Elite teams joined the club in 2023 and compete alongside original Ignite-branded rosters under one nonprofit organization that also runs Boomers Academy and community sponsorship programs. The club joined US Club Soccer in 2026 and has earned multiple Utah Presidents Cup and regional titles across Rebel Elite and Ignite teams.

How can families contact Ignite FC?Submit the club contact form for general questions, tryout absences, Boomers Academy waitlist interest, coaching inquiries, or sponsorship and donation ideas. Holly Yergensen serves as club registrar for roster and registration support. Players already committed to another club should wait for the UYSA recruiting window or formal tryouts rather than asking coaches to reach out early.
