The majority of league games occur on Saturday, but can take place on any day of the week, except Sunday. Practices are generally held between Monday and Friday.
Practices are determined by the Coach and Team Manager. We do secure fields for practice that teams can utilize as well. Also, as part of 7 Elite Academy, teams in the Salt Lake Metro area have access free of charge to our indoor training facility during winter months.
In Salt Lake, games take place at the West Jordan Soccer Complex and Terra Linda Elementary (just around the corner from our indoor training facility). In Utah County they typically take place at Osier Park.
In St George the league sets the locations, typically at Little Valley Fields, Sullivan Soccer Park, and a mix of other locations.
In Weber/Davis County games typically take place at Roy West Park or Weber County Fairgrounds.
Participation in tournaments is determined on a team level with the parents and coaches. We encourage every team to participate in tournaments, most especially in the 7 Elite Academy International Tournament held the first weekend in February in Saint George, Utah and Mesquite, Nevada.

Every young person is unique, so our Player Pathway is designed to be flexible and reactive to individual needs and ambitions. We work closely with college recruiters and professional club recruiters to tailor development opportunities for every player.
Our heritage as an academy rests on employing the best, most highly qualified staff in a structure that mirrors professional academies across the world. We identify the needs of players at an early stage and tailor our coaching programme to reflect these needs throughout a player’s time with us. Our staff hold some of the highest qualifications in global soccer, including UEFA, FA and USSF.
Player safety is our highest priority. We run stringent checks on all staff, paid and unpaid, to ensure the young people who train with us can do so in a completely safe and supportive environment. Our staff are all trained in first aid, with clear and concise policies to make sure players are cared for to the highest standards, should an injury occur.
As a world-class soccer academy, we can call on resources from across the globe to ensure players enjoy the best possible support. We have full-time staff across Utah, as well as indoor facilities and fantastic outdoor fields. We work closely with colleges in Utah and further afield to make sure young people who train with us can also access college scholarships at the best institutions. On a global basis, we have close working relationships with professional clubs and academies that mean we can offer opportunities for players to train, live and study in the UK and Europe.
Our curriculum runs at every training location we run across Utah and in the United Kingdom. This ensures all players follow the same training plans, theories and skills development program to exacting and professional standards. We use professional coaching tools, including The Coaches Voice and Sport Session Planner, to create a positive learning environment where players can thrive and achieve their ambitions.
