Sparta United Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does Sparta United offer?Academy serves roughly under-six through under-twelve with training and play linked to the competitive club model. X-League covers under-nine through under-twelve in the tryout breakdown. Under-thirteen through under-nineteen players try out for state competition and National League Premier 2 squads. For boys under-thirteen through under-nineteen, the first team in each age group can play in MLS NEXT’s newer competition tier and the second team can play in a US Youth Soccer regional league, giving two elevated pathways side by side.

Where is Sparta United based and where are tryouts held?Administrative offices sit at 7109 South Highland Drive, Suite 102, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121, with public office hours Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Academy, X-League, state competition, and National League Premier 2 tryouts have been held at Flat Iron Mesa Park, 1700 East 8600 South, Sandy, Utah 84093, with check-in under the main pavilion at the top of the hill. MLS NEXT tryouts use a separate location disclosed when a coach invites a player. Regular-season training and home fields vary by team, so ask the club for your player’s sites.

How do tryouts and registration work?For academy, X-League, state competition, and National League Premier 2, sign up through Utah Youth Soccer Association’s Affinity tryout calendar and pay the tryout fee online for the fastest check-in. MLS NEXT begins with the age-group Google Form; invited players receive a registration link and separate instructions from the coach. Season registration for state competition, X-League, or Academy runs through the Sports Affinity portal linked from the club registration page. Tryout dates and birth-year tables change each cycle, so verify the current Affinity listing or email the club before you travel.

What do tryouts cost?Advance registration for academy, X-League, competition, and National League Premier 2 tryouts costs fifteen dollars online at signup. Walk-up registration costs twenty-five dollars on the day of tryouts, with extra time expected and the club tryout form completed as directed. MLS NEXT tryouts cost fifteen dollars and accept advance registration only.

What is Sparta United’s coaching and development approach?Academy work stresses skill development, enjoyment, and age-appropriate competition through individual, small-group, and small-sided activities tied to the competitive club. Older competitive teams emphasize technical and tactical training, skill growth, and team play with enthusiastic, qualified coaches. Staff and team coaches average about fourteen years of coaching experience, and the club runs a large slate of teams with national-league participation.
