Who We Are
SC del Sol is a large, well-established soccer club based in the North Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley areas. We are home to 50 teams and more than 800 male and female players of all abilities ages 4-18. All of our players and teams follow a developmentally appropriate curriculum devised by a highly motivated and educated coaching staff. These curriculums are managed in such a way that the needs of all players are met in a challenging, rewarding and caring manner.
​
Our Mini Kickers program introduces soccer to the youngest of players. It is open to 3 and 4 year old boys and girls. Our full-time professional coaches create a fun and safe environment for children in which they can develop, grow and learn to love the game. The goal is to introduce soccer in an exciting manner through a series of fun games and activities. We measure the success of the program by the number of smiles, laughter and player enjoyment!
The next step is our Junior Academy program. It is open to boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 7. This program is also implemented by our full-time staff and our focus is still on fun and enjoyment. The emphasis is on dynamic soccer movements and advancing soccer competencies for use in game-like scenarios. We encourage the players to exercise their decision-making abilities while working with others in a challenging and rewarding environment.
Our Competitive program is for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18. It is quite simply one of the best in the State. We have around 50 competitive teams who participate, depending upon age and ability, in the following leagues: ASA’s Youth Academy, ASA's Advanced Leagues, ASA's Open Leagues, Girls' Academy, Girls Academy Aspire, Girls Development Player League, MLS NEXT, and MLS NEXT New Tier. In addition to league play, teams will participate in monthly in-state and out-of-state tournaments and showcases.
