What ages and program levels does Star Valley Soccer Club offer?The club serves youth roughly ages 7 through 18. Spring competitive league play focuses on U9–U12 (players turning 9 through sixth grade), while middle school and high school players are pointed toward school teams in spring with additional summer opportunities when announced. Competitive tryouts place athletes by skill and commitment; town recreation or the summer academy can bridge younger players who are not ready for travel-level demands yet.
About
Star Valley Soccer Club gives youth in the Star Valley region a competitive soccer pathway rooted in Afton, Wyoming. Players ages 7 through 18 can train with experienced coaches, compete at higher levels than town recreation alone, and grow ball control, confidence, and teamwork in a fun, supportive setting. The club describes itself as the area’s first competitive youth soccer league and relies on volunteer families, coaches, and board members to keep programming moving.
Programs and competitive levels
Spring club soccer centers on U9 through U12 (players turning 9 through sixth grade) in a structured league environment. Middle school and high school athletes are encouraged to support their school teams during the spring while the club watches for summer tournaments and extra activities for those age bands. Competitive tryouts help place athletes on teams matched to skill and commitment; players who need more preparation may be steered toward town recreational soccer or supplemental academy training before stepping up. Off-season offerings include a summer academy focused on technical fundamentals, girls 6v6 summer play, Ryan Cook summer camp opportunities, Challenger camps, and events such as the Frosty Futsal tournament.
Spring 2026 season structure
The 2026 spring season runs April 18 through June 13, with practices allowed to start up to one week earlier when weather permits. League games take place every other Saturday, and most teams play doubleheaders. U9–U12 teams compete in the Snake River League and also enter the Yellowstone Cup tournament June 11–13. Each team practices two nights per week for 90 minutes (three hours total weekly). Coaches set practice times and fields once rosters finalize, then share schedules through the MOJO Sport app. Team formation aims for age-and-gender groups when numbers allow, with co-ed or combined-age teams possible depending on registration volume; assessment practices may split multiple teams within an age band.
Summer academy and skill development
The 2026 Summer Academy meets at Grover Community Park, 275 Main St, Grover, WY 83122, on eight Monday evenings from June 8 through July 27 (no session the week of July 4). All sessions start at 6:00 p.m. Nationally licensed coaches Robyn and Ryan Finch lead training aimed at individual technique in a low-pressure setting with small-sided scrimmages aligned to U.S. Soccer small-sided guidance. The program supplements city recreation rather than replacing league games. Registration combines a $21 Wyoming Soccer Association recreational player fee with a $49 Star Valley Soccer Club academy fee; participants receive an academy T-shirt and a size 3 soccer ball. Academy Director Robyn Finch can be reached at 801-636-3408 for questions.
Mission, values, and coaching approach
The club’s mission is to build community and passion for excellence on and off the field through athletic development and core values: teamwork, sportsmanship, physical fitness, leadership, work ethic, dedication, respect, and excellence. The vision is to give every youth age 7–18 in the community a chance to enjoy soccer while building confidence, character, communication, and responsibility. Competitive programming expects more practice time and travel than recreation, and tryouts help families understand that commitment before rosters lock in.
Fees, uniforms, and financial support
Spring 2026 player fees are $230 for athletes who did not play the Fall 2025 season and $194 for returning Fall 2025 players. After the first registered child, each additional sibling receives a $25 discount (four children would save $75 total). The registration fee covers two weekly practices, four Snake River League Saturdays, possible intra-club or affiliate scrimmages, Yellowstone Cup entry, and required annual Wyoming Soccer Association membership. Families budget separately for the mandatory uniform kit (two jerseys, shorts, two sock pairs via NewGen Sports Group), personal travel, extra tournaments, and GotSport transaction fees. Payment plans and hardship scholarships—supported by Wyoming Soccer Association grants, sponsors, and club fundraising—are available; families complete the club’s scholarship form and email the board. The club’s stated goal is that cost should not block a child who wants to play.
Registration and family communication
New families register through GotSport: create an adult account first, add each child, complete forms per player, and finish checkout—registration is incomplete until checkout is submitted. Returning players order replacement uniform kits as needed from the club’s NewGen team store. Beyond email, the club shares updates on Facebook and Instagram (@starvalleysoccerclub). MOJO handles schedules, attendance, carpools, and volunteer needs once teams are assigned. General correspondence can go to starvalleysoccerclub@gmail.com; mail goes to PO Box 1780, Afton, WY 83110.

Practice fields and times are set by each coach after registration closes and shared through the MOJO Sport app. Summer academy sessions meet at Grover Community Park, 275 Main St, Grover, WY 83122.
How do tryouts and team placement work?Tryouts help the club match players to teams that fit their skill and readiness for the extra practice and travel competitive soccer requires. Coaches may combine age groups, form co-ed teams, or run an assessment practice when numbers support multiple rosters in one birth year. Families who miss a scheduled tryout window can contact the board to arrange an alternative evaluation or discuss recreational options for another season.
What is the 2026 Summer Academy and how much does it cost?The academy runs eight Monday evenings at 6:00 p.m. from June 8 through July 27, 2026 (off July 4 week) at Grover Community Park under nationally licensed coaches Robyn and Ryan Finch. It emphasizes individual technique and small-sided scrimmages without league games. Total cost is $70 per player—$21 Wyoming Soccer Association plus $49 club fee—including an academy T-shirt and size 3 ball. Register through GotSport or call Academy Director Robyn Finch at 801-636-3408.
