Soccer Club Del Sol

The competitive soccer program at SC del Sol is widely regarded as being one of the best in the state. Every team within the Club is trained and coached by two members of the professional coaching staff who conduct all training sessions and are at all games. We are also one of the few Clubs to offer specialized goalkeeper training with our full-time GK trainer, Ally Maxwell.

SC del Sol teams participate in a challenging schedule of training, league games and tournament play. The training curriculum that our players follow connects all of the coaches and players in the Club irrespective of age and ability. The curriculum focuses upon the five components of soccer: techniques, tactics, physical preparation, mental preparation and nutrition. SC del Sol is proud of the fact that our competitive players are superbly prepared.

The majority of our teams practice three times a week in the north Phoenix area and participate in top-level tournaments both in and out of state in addition to league play. Throughout the years our teams have participated in prestigious tournaments such as Dallas Cup (TX), Surf Cup (CA), Blues Cup (CA), North Huntington Beach (CA), Celtic Cup (CA), Colorado College Showcase (CO), Presidents Day (AZ), Nomads (CA), Score at the Shore (NC), PDA (New Jersey), Disney Soccer Showcase (FL).

Every season we have around 40 competitive teams that start at U7 and go to U18. All of our teams participate in AYSA’s State League and AYSA’s Maricopa League. Our girls program has the additional honor of participating in the Elite Clubs National League. The ECNL is by invitation only and features the top 66 youth girls clubs in the United States in the U14-18 age group. Our oldest boys’ teams participate in the equally prestigious Western College Development Academy (WCDA), which is the coming together of the top 30 boys clubs across the western US.

SC del Sol has a full-time, highly qualified professional coaching staff that is committed to the development of every player in our club irrespective of ability. Our goal is to challenge, improve and advance the level of every player and every team. All of our staff are present or former players who have met and exceeded the high standards set forth by the United States Soccer Federation, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and the English Soccer Association. SC del Sol is unique in that all of our programs are devised and implemented by the Pro Staff.
