About
Layton Strikers FC is a Layton-based competitive youth soccer club serving Davis County. The organization traces back to 1986 and describes itself as one of Utah’s oldest sanctioned competition clubs. It affiliates with United States Youth Soccer and is a Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) organizational member, fielding more than 30 teams and over 500 local players.
What the club emphasizes
The club states that building skill, friendship, and fun are core fundamentals. It positions Strikers as a local competitive option where families can improve soccer skills in a community setting at an affordable price, with teams at multiple levels so commitment can match both player ability and family schedules. Coaches receive club support, community, and logistics while keeping autonomy over how they run their teams.
Leagues and age pathways
Younger cohorts can play in UYSA’s X-League, described as a no-scores, no-standings environment with color-coded divisions ordered by development level. From about U12 upward, teams can compete in UYSA’s State Competition League, where alignment updates each fall and spring and standings reflect competitive results. High school age players follow a published fall and spring pattern: in fall, boys stay with Strikers teams while girls not on high school soccer may join provisional high school teams formed after girls tryouts; in spring, girls stay with Strikers while boys not on high school soccer may join provisional teams after boys tryouts. The club’s age-group page notes U.S. Youth Soccer’s planned shift to an August 1–July 31 formation cycle starting in 2026–27 and explains that brackets will still be birth-date based, not strictly grade-based.
Events and member perks
The club promotes an annual Strikers Night at Real Salt Lake in the summer, with on-field experiences such as ball kid roles and parade participation. It also states that every player receives a complimentary RSL match ticket each year courtesy of UYSA. Strikers Cup, the club’s tournament, is scheduled August 4–8, 2026, in Layton, with published rules and field map pages on the club site.
Tryouts and next steps
Tryout information for the competitive season is published on the club’s tryouts page, including separate girls and boys schedules with locations such as Layton High School grass fields and Ellison Park fields. Families must complete a guardian-signed participant waiver and register through UYSA’s online system; the club links to UYSA for password or registration help and notes a same-day option with waiver and a tryout fee if online signup fails. Coaches typically follow up by phone and email, and the site references a results page and a fee structure page for costs.
