About Utah Youth Soccer Association

Utah Youth Soccer Association’s grantmaking centers on one clear purpose: supporting youth soccer across Utah through club funding, travel help, field work, and player aid. The largest recent award in the data, $233,061 in 2025, went to “All Other Grants Under 5000” in Sandy, reflecting a broad set of smaller awards alongside larger targeted grants. The pattern is reinforced by other major distributions to “See Attached List” in 2024 for $169,943 and “See Attached Overflow Sheet” in 2023 for $102,435, both also in Sandy. Across named recipients, the foundation has supported clubs such as Utah Development Academy in Salt Lake City, La Roca Futbol Club in Ogden, and Utah Avalanche in Draper. Those grants cover player club financial aid, travel grants, and field-related support, which matches the organization’s role in governing and developing youth soccer in the state. The recent record also shows awards to teams and clubs in cities including Riverton, American Fork, West Valley City, and Orem, indicating a statewide youth-soccer funding pattern rather than a single-program focus.

What Utah Youth Soccer Association Funds

Field access and maintenance is one of the foundation’s recurring priorities. In 2023, Utah Avalanche in Draper received $27,000 for a travel grant and field grant, while Ogden Soccer in Ogden received $10,000 for a field grant. Those awards fit with the organization’s separate field-development program. Player affordability is another visible theme. Utah Development Academy in Salt Lake City received $44,220 in 2023 for player club financial aid, and Utah Athletic Academy in Provo received $8,930 in 2023 for player financial aid. The foundation also funds travel-related participation, including $24,655 in 2023 to Utah Soccer Alliance in Riverton for a travel grant and player financial aid. Scholarship support appears in the active program list through UYSA Scholarships, which includes region scholarships and the Susan K. Madsen Service Scholarship for graduating members. The data also shows support for competition participation, such as Meta Sport Fc in Huntsville receiving $10,000 in 2023 for an NCS travel grant.

How Utah Youth Soccer Association Gives

Grant sizes cluster around modest direct awards rather than a few very large checks: the typical grant size is $9,281 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $26,901 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list includes repeated awards to the same clubs across multiple years, including Utah Avalanche, Utah Development Academy, Utah Soccer Alliance, and Laroca/La Roca Futbol Club, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time support. The foundation is an operating sports association, not a fund that makes program-related investments or gives to individuals outside its grant programs. It also has an application-based scholarship program and a field grant program that accepts unsolicited applications.
