About
Arizona Futbol Club (Arizona FC Select) is a youth soccer organization rooted in Avondale and focused on the West Valley. Established in 2015, it runs out of a privately owned large soccer complex and builds programming from introductory small-sided play into academy and older competitive teams. The mission is strong technical training and development for dedicated West Valley players. Values include dedication to players and staff, patience on and off the field, and keeping costs workable for West Valley families.
Jr. Pre-Academy (Grasshoppers)
The Grasshoppers introductory track serves ages 3–5 (birth years 2021–2023 for that age band). Practices run once per week in a four-weeks-on, one-week-off rhythm from September through April, including holiday breaks. Each four-week block includes one or two internal scrimmages, with possible tournament-style play if development progress supports it. Cost is a $100 registration fee plus $25 per month, and registration includes two AZFC Select tops. Between primary enrollment cycles, families can ask whether summer training group options are open.
Academy (U7–U10)
The academy program functions as the foundation phase before older competitive divisions. For the 2026–2027 season, ages are U7–U10 with birth years 2016–2020. The season runs July through April. Arizona Soccer Association scheduling sets league games from September through March; coaches add scrimmages with other clubs and enter tournaments during the year, with tournament counts varying by team. Format options include 7v7 and 4v4 club fee structures: 7v7 charges $250 at signup plus ten monthly payments of $35 from July through April (the financed total includes a $50 financing fee); 4v4 charges $150 at signup plus ten payments of $25 per month over the same window (also including the $50 financing fee). Paying in full earns a discount equal to two months free compared with the installment plan; exact financed totals appear when families complete registration in PlayMetrics. Coaches also collect a per-player team fee to cover coaching salaries, and tournament costs are split among rostered players at the team level, so monthly team costs move with each coach’s tournament plan.
Competitive (U11–U19)
Older competitive teams expect dedication and a team-first mentality. For 2026–2027, ages run U11–U19 with birth years 2016–2007. U11–U12 sides play 9v9; U13 and up play 11v11. The club season is July through April. Home league games are played at West Valley Events Complex in Glendale, with away games across the valley; league games begin in September. Coaches pick tournament schedules around league play, and teams train and scrimmage year-round to stay sharp. Club fee billing matches the younger competitive bracket: $250 at registration plus ten $35 monthly payments July through April including the financing fee, with the same pay-in-full two-month discount structure. For U15–U19, the season still runs July through April but includes a break from mid-November through mid-February for athletes who play high school soccer; Arizona Interscholastic Association rules do not allow simultaneous club and high school team play during the high school season. Financed club fees for that high-school cohort use eight monthly $35 payments with none due in December and January when the player is with their high school team. Team fees again cover coaching pay and tournament shares, with monthly amounts varying by coach and tournament load.
Facilities and home base
West Valley Events Complex in Glendale (10101 W Glendale Ave, Glendale, AZ 85307) anchors much of the schedule. Training and games also use Friendship Park in Avondale (12325 W McDowell Rd) and Imagine Prep at Surprise (14850 N 156th Ave, Surprise). Families can check field closure status online and open facility maps for those locations.
