Tempo Soccer Club (TSC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth soccer organization founded in 2011 and rooted in the Sioux Falls metro. The club holds membership in both US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer and runs a year-round competitive program for players seeking a higher training and match rhythm than casual rec play. A Tempo Futures pathway uses dedicated indoor and outdoor training space so younger developmental groups can grow inside the same club family.
The competitive club track targets athletes roughly ages 10 through 19 for tryouts and team formation, with evening tryout blocks grouped by birth-year bands so families can plan around school nights. New and returning players sign up in GotSport before attending tryouts, meet licensed coaches on the field, and learn how teams train and travel before roster decisions are made. Competitive club tryouts concentrate in June and July each year, and the club can arrange individual assessments across the year when a family arrives mid-cycle.
Tempo Futures meets at the club’s indoor facility for winter work and uses Galway Park in Sioux Falls for outdoor sessions, giving Futures players a defined home base alongside the older competitive teams that share the Tempo Indoor Facility when weather turns cold.
Competitive tryouts have used the Sports Dome behind The Home Store at 1601 W 44th Place, Sioux Falls, with staggered evening sessions by age band. The Tempo Indoor Facility hosts the indoor Futures program and winter training for competitive teams. Outdoor Futures sessions run from Galway Park at 7420 W 64th Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57106. McHardy Park Soccer Complex in Brandon, South Dakota anchors the club’s Summer Classic and Fall Classic tournament weekends. Tea Athletic Complex adds outdoor training and event capacity alongside those primary sites.
The club schedules an annual Tempo Classic tournament that historically draws U9 through U19 boys and girls sides; families should confirm the next host venue and dates with the club because the classic occasionally moves (for example, some years have used Pepsi Soccer Complex in Mitchell).
For the 2023-2024 club year, annual player dues were $250 and covered club registration plus tryout or assessment costs, with credit-card processing charges possible at checkout. Required competitive jersey kits bundle three match jerseys (navy blue, sky blue, and solar yellow), one pair of shorts, and one pair of socks; kit pricing for that cycle was $126.85 through Goal Kick Soccer using the Tempo-specific storefront link. Duplicate jersey numbers are not allowed, so parents confirm numbers with the coach or manager before ordering, and orders placed after early July may ship on a delayed timeline.
Tournament entry sits outside annual dues because teams compete in events year-round; families should budget those passes separately as coaches build calendars.
Tempo’s competitive curriculum centers on the four pillars of the game—technical, tactical, psychological, and physical—and keeps training creative and dynamic so sessions stay enjoyable while still challenging individuals and teams. Coaches adjust session emphasis to match player and team needs, and the club language stresses steady challenge paired with confidence-building support.
The board of directors is an all-volunteer group focused on growing competitive soccer across the Sioux Empire and welcomes diverse leadership perspectives.
