Utah Glory Soccer Club

What the club offers

Glory Juniors (Glory Jrs) serves boys and girls ages four through seven with year-round teams, weekly practices, and fall and spring seasons against other clubs’ academy programs, emphasizing technical instruction inside a fun, low-pressure environment; optional indoor soccer costs extra per player. The competitive track starts at under-nine, with annual tryouts, a June-through-May club year after spring offers, and Black, Red, and White team tiers within age groups that can change during transfer windows as coaches track development.

Where teams train and compete

For the 2026–27 cycle, tryouts and free Glory Jrs skills camps use South Jordan City Park (south field), 11010 South Redwood Road, South Jordan, Utah 84095. During the season most teams train twice a week on schedules set by the coach, shifting indoors in winter when teams reserve and pay for facility time. Spring and fall league play in UYSA competitive divisions usually means one to two games a week, home and away, across the Salt Lake Valley and nearby counties such as Utah, Tooele, Summit, Davis, or Weber. Summer and winter tournaments plus optional indoor leagues are team decisions and carry extra costs that scale with age and competitive level.

Tryouts, club fees, uniforms, and team costs

Under-nine through under-twelve tryouts for 2026–27 are scheduled May 18–20, with all-age boys and girls sessions May 26–28; check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. and field sessions run 6:00–7:30 p.m., with a brief parent meeting and uniform sizing after the last day. Under-nine through under-nineteen tryouts cost ten dollars per player and five dollars for each additional immediate family member; Glory Jrs skills camps for ages four through seven on May 20 and May 28 run 5:00–6:00 p.m. at the same park at no charge.

Glory Jrs registration is three hundred twenty-five dollars for the year and includes a team jersey; under-four and under-five minis pay one hundred fifty dollars per year. Competitive club registration is five hundred sixty dollars for under-nine and under-ten, six hundred forty dollars for under-eleven and under-twelve, and seven hundred sixty dollars for under-thirteen through under-nineteen, with full payment at signup or a four-payment plan (down payment plus three installments); balances are due by November 1 unless club administration approves an exception. Families also pay a monthly coaching fee directly to the coach or team manager. Capelli uniform kits for under-nine and older cost about two hundred fifty dollars plus shipping, are not included in club fees, and refresh on a two-year cycle. Team managers collect separate team budgets for tournaments, cups, referees, indoor training or leagues, and similar items, and annual UYSA membership fees apply at registration.

Coaching philosophy and player development

The club’s mission centers on confidence, self-esteem, technical skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a respectful environment, with licensed coaches reporting to a club director and teams encouraged toward possession, quick transitions, finishing, and organized defending. Tryout selection weighs technical ability first, then attitude, commitment, and coachability, with rosters announced about a week later. League and many tournament minutes aim for broad participation at younger ages when attendance and effort meet expectations, while State Cup and National Cup finals phases may emphasize starters; families should expect sideline standards that support players, coaches, and referees.
