Competitive Program

---

The Real Salt Lake AZ competitive program includes each age group beginning with U7 through U19, boys and girls. 

*Due to the available talent and demand of the program, there may be multiple teams in each age & gender group.  

Our emphasis in the RSL-AZ competitive soccer program is on player development and the development of the whole team. While winning is important, our main focus is on development. Through development, we've been able to build one of the strongest, deepest, and largest clubs in Arizona. At the top level, we consistently have at least one team in every one of the top 24 divisions in the U7-U19 boys and girls age groups.   

Players are introduced to a high level of play and coaching with training two times a week for U7-U12, training three times per week for our U13-19 teams with the top teams also having a speed & conditioning session. 

Real Salt Lake AZ U7-U10 teams play in the Soccer Association of Arizona (SAAZ) formatted league. The ASA Academy league consists of teams from other soccer clubs throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. These teams also play in tournaments.  

Real Salt Lake AZ U11-U19 teams play in the competitive NPL (National Premier League) or depending on the teams level the AZDL (Arizona Developmental League). These leagues have scheduled games with opposing teams from other soccer clubs throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area as well as Flagstaff, Tucson, Yuma, Kingman, Yavapai and other Arizona locations. 

In addition, these teams also play in a number of tournaments throughout the state and may go out of state as well. At the end of the year (April-May), many of these teams participate in the State Cup or the Presidents Cup Tournament and have a chance to play in the Far West Regionals and the National Championships.
