What ages and program levels does North Utah County Soccer Club offer?The club serves players from U4 through U19 across three levels. Challenger recreation covers the full age range with geographic teams and equal playing time. AA district competition is the first step above recreation for roughly ages eight through eighteen, with tryouts and a draft each May. UCSC club teams are the highest competitive tier, with separate boys and girls rosters from U9 through U19 and more training, travel, and tournament opportunities.

About
North Utah County Soccer Club serves families across Orem and North Utah County with three soccer pathways for players from preschool through high school. Challenger recreation gives every child a local team with a full uniform and ball included. AA district competition adds stronger league play while keeping games mostly in Utah County. UCSC club teams compete at the highest level the organization offers, with dozens of boys and girls rosters across the region.
Programs and competitive levels
Challenger recreation is designed for players who want to learn, play, and stay with nearby teammates. Everyone plays, teams are grouped geographically when possible, and the fall and spring seasons typically include about one practice and one game per week. AA is the first competitive tier above recreation, open to players roughly ages eight through eighteen. Teams form through May tryouts and a draft, play seven to eight fall games and six to seven spring games, and finish with an end-of-season tournament. Many AA squads also train together on indoor teams in winter. UCSC club teams operate under the Utah County Soccer Club banner for families seeking more training, travel, and tournament play at lower club fees than many area alternatives.
Ages and age-group structure
Recreation covers U4 through U19 using the August 1 through July 31 birth-year cycle adopted for the 2026–2027 season. Younger groups play small-sided formats from 4v4 through 9v9 before moving to full 11v11 at U13 and above. AA serves U9 through high-school-age players on the same seasonal age chart. UCSC club rosters span U9 through U19, with U15–U19 boys playing a half-season in fall and girls in spring when not on a high school roster; provisional team options exist in off-season windows.
Tryouts and registration
Challenger open registration for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 runs from April 27 through June 26, 2026, with a $10 early-bird discount through May 17 and a $5 sibling discount on each additional child after the first. AA tryouts for 2026–2027 are scheduled May 19 and May 21, 2026 at Mountain Ridge Jr. High in Highland, with pre-registration required at least three hours before each session. UCSC club tryouts run in late May and early June at fields across Orem, Alpine, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Cedar Hills, and American Fork depending on the team. All programs register through the Affinity Sports Connect system linked from northutahcountysoccer.com.
Fees and what families pay
Challenger fees cover both fall and spring seasons, a full uniform, a ball, and league costs: $112 for U4–U7, $133 for U8–U12, and $138 for U13 and older. AA club registration runs $195 to $250 by age group and includes fall and spring league play plus a spring tournament; uniforms and optional indoor or futsal costs are separate, and coaches may collect up to $150 beyond the base fee for team gear or extra training. UCSC club fees range from $295 to $360 for most age bands, with U15–U19 half-season pricing at $295; teams handle uniforms separately with options as low as about $50. A $10 late registration fee applies to UCSC club players registering after August 1.
Training locations and league play
Recreation games are held at local schools and parks across North Utah County, with younger teams placed close to home neighborhoods when roster numbers allow. AA games stay primarily in Utah County but may face teams from neighboring leagues. UCSC home fields are assigned based on where most rostered players and the coach live, with venues such as Mountain Ridge Jr. High, Art Dye Park in American Fork, Cook Family Park in Pleasant Grove, and school fields in Orem, Alpine, and Lehi used throughout the season. Schedules for club teams are typically released in early August.
Philosophy and family balance
The club emphasizes affordable, local soccer where recreation can remain part of a player’s journey for many years rather than a brief stepping stone. AA and club are optional paths for athletes who want more competition without the financial and schedule strain common at higher-cost clubs. Leadership encourages multi-sport participation, family vacations, and school priorities alongside soccer development.
