Play Club, Play Paladin!
Paladin Soccer Club (Paladin SC) is a competitive, team oriented program designed to develop and enhance the individual and team skills needed to compete at a higher level. Our vision and pledge is to provide the best coaching and player experience through effective program development and to create a positive culture in soccer by executing on the Paladin Club Motto of Faith, Family, Fun and Fight.
Club soccer is an advanced, competitive soccer program for boys and girls and runs for approximately 8 months, August – March, with tryouts held every May. Teams are led by experienced coaches who will train the athletes on the advanced technical and tactical methodologies of soccer. Athletes are exposed to advanced technical skills, fitness and performance, formational tactics and video review to truly focus on developing the whole player.
Club soccer teams compete in local and regional soccer tournaments and register in Arizona Soccer Association Advanced Leagues.
While club soccer competition breeds intensity, we believe as a Christian-based organization that club sports should be played the right way. Our club soccer teams display integrity, sportsmanship, respect, kindness and ultimately a Christ-like attitude on and off the pitch. Prayer is cornerstone of each of our club soccer teams as well as an outreach to the teams we compete against.
Placement onto a club soccer team is determined through an assessment or tryout.
Not quite ready for club? Paladin SC’s Select Soccer program is a developmental soccer program (pre-club) for boys and girls ages 8-14 and is offered two times throughout the year, Season 1 (Sep-Dec) and Season 2 (Jan-Apr). Select Soccer teams participate in Arizona Soccer Association Open Leagues and Youth Academies along with local tournaments.
