Why this program

Built for kids who want to play, not sit.

Outdoor club soccer — three seasons a year.

Real soccer, real refs

Every game is played on a real grass pitch with USSF-certified refs. Club Prep Soccer is structured competitive play, not pickup.

Three outdoor seasons

Fall, Winter, and Spring. Arizona’s weather is perfect for outdoor soccer when the rest of the country is snowed in.

Pathway from rec to club

Club Prep Soccer is the natural step up for AZ Youth Sports rec-league players ready for a more competitive environment.

Divisions + pricing

Pick your division. Pick your fit.

Every division offers a House team (full-stack: paid coaching, equipment, jerseys, schedule, refs, insurance) and an Independent team option (you bring your own coach + equipment, we plug you into the league).

From parents + clubs

Why families come back.

Came over from a big-name club and got more playing time, better coaching, and lower fees here. No-brainer.

Common questions

FAQ

Where are games played?

Club Prep Soccer uses partner grass fields across the East Valley. Field assignments are confirmed when the schedule is released each season.

Why is there no Summer season?

Arizona summer heat is unsafe for outdoor youth play. Club Prep Soccer runs Fall, Winter, and Spring.

When do I pay the season fee vs the tryout fee?

The $15 tryout fee is paid at signup through TeamSnap. If your child makes a team, that $15 is credited toward the season fee. Season fees are due at roster release (about two weeks before game day 1).

What is the difference between a House team and an Independent team?

House teams are run end-to-end by Arizona Club Prep — paid coaches, indoor practices, equipment, jerseys, full game schedule, and playoffs. Independent teams bring their own coaches, equipment, and practice facility, but plug into the Club Prep league for game days, jerseys, schedule, refs, scorekeeping, and insurance.

Can my child play multiple Club Prep sports at the same time?

Yes. Practice schedules are coordinated across sports where possible. Reach out before registering for two seasons that overlap so we can flag any conflicts.

What is the refund policy?

Full refund (minus a small processing fee) before roster release for the affected season. Once rosters are released, fees are non-refundable. The $15 tryout fee is non-refundable in all cases.

Fall 2026 Soccer

Tryouts are open.

Sign up your athlete in under two minutes through TeamSnap. The $15 tryout fee credits to the season fee if your child makes a team.
