About
Ogden Soccer Club is a volunteer-powered nonprofit in the Ogden area that offers recreational GOAL Soccer for children and teens plus a competitive pathway through high school. The club affiliates with Utah Youth Soccer (UYSA), US Youth Soccer, and US Soccer, emphasizes development over winning, and works with community partners to keep programming accessible.
Recreational GOAL Soccer
GOAL Soccer serves ages 3–18 with a player-centered recreational track. Little Lions (ages 3–5) runs about seven to eight weeks and focuses on balance, coordination, and social skills in a non-league, group setting where parent participation is welcome. Older age bands move through 4v4 (about 5–8), 7v7 (about 8–10), 9v9 (about 10–12), and 11v11 (about 13–18), introducing rules, goalkeeping, and team roles as players grow. Registration for the combined fall and spring cycle opens each April 1. The season spans roughly 14–16 weeks across fall and spring, with an August kickoff party, fall games from about late September through mid-October, a winter break, and spring play from about April through mid-May. Families interested in spring-only participation should contact the club for options. Teams usually practice once per week for about one to one-and-a-half hours at local parks and schools; Saturday league games generally run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., also at area parks and schools. Membership includes UYSA and national pathway benefits the club bundles with registration, such as player insurance, coach background checks, Safe Sport and concussion training for coaches, club training access, and Jr. RSL-related offers including a ticket offer for youth players.
Competitive soccer and tryouts
Competitive programming targets players who want year-round training, league play in Utah Youth Soccer state competition, and tournament opportunities. Annual tryouts for the 2026–27 cycle are scheduled at Mount Ogden Park: U9–U12 birth years 8/1/2017–7/31/2015 on May 19 and 20, 2026, and U13–U19 birth years 8/1/2013–7/31/2008 on May 26 and 27, 2026, with exact session times announced closer to the dates. Makeup tryouts can be arranged team-by-team through coaches. Everyone may attend tryouts after registering online; the tryout fee is $10 per player and includes a training shirt. Players check in at the welcome table, receive a numbered shirt, and should bring water, shin guards, and cleats. Evaluations run about two hours, and team invitations generally begin within about a day, though timing can vary. As a US Youth Soccer member organization, the club is moving to a school-year registration cycle beginning fall 2026.
Fields and training sites
Tryouts and many outdoor events use Mount Ogden Park as a main hub, while ongoing games and practices use parks and schools across the Ogden area. Field status covers venues such as Liberty Park, Mount Ogden Park, Grandview Park, Lion’s Club Park, Monroe Park, Saint Paul Lutheran, Kent Smith Park, the 27th Street gym, Rohmer Park, and Jefferson Park so families can see where teams are slated to play.
Mission, coaching, and community
The club’s vision is to deliver high-value, player-centered programs with licensed coaches in a positive, community-focused setting. Four principles guide day-to-day work: player-centered access for ages 3 and up with enthusiasm as the main requirement; trained coaches who follow US Soccer player development guidance and prioritize development over results; a supportive environment built on positive reinforcement; and community investment through volunteers and partnerships with schools, cities, and local organizations. Ogden Soccer also coordinates access to affordable futsal-style indoor opportunities with partners from about October through March.
Fees, uniforms, and family expectations
Recreational fees vary by age and season; current program tiers run about $94–$95 for Little Lions, about $105 for 4v4, and about $126 for 7v7 through 11v11 for the fall-and-spring package, with other totals possible when discounts or options apply. Competitive club dues are $712 for U9–U12 and $794 for U13 and older, covering referee, field, and state gaming fees; uniforms are purchased separately, with orders due by June 22 for direct home delivery, and head coaches explain any extra team costs such as tournaments or winter training. Refunds follow strict rules: no refunds on UYSA fees, adult program fees, competitive program or tryout fees, and no Ogden Soccer refunds after August 15 for most cases. Program refunds before play begins may be considered only for players ages 3–17 who have not practiced or received a uniform, require a written request before August 15, and may carry a $25 processing fee; medical hardship requests are reviewed individually.
