• Challenger League teams are created to provide local competition with balanced teams to keep the environment competitive, player development focused, FUN and local!! These competitive teams are heavily dependent on parent/volunteer coaches that have oversight from age group directors that mentor and guide the coaches through the challenges of managing a year-round team. Our aim is to provide 6-11 year old’s a local team one of 11 locations.

    Please view Team/Age Group Expectations Page for Details including cost.

  • Local teams from the following locations compete against one another in the local Challenger league.
    Preston: Preston, Idaho
    Upper North: Richmond/Lewiston
    North: Smithfield/Hyde Park
    North Central: North Logan
    Central: Logan
    South Central: Providence/Nibley/Millville
    Southeast: Hyrum/Paradise
    Southwest: Wellsville/Mendon
    Benson: Benson
    Brigham City: Brigham City/Perry
    Tremonton: Tremonton/Garland/Riverside
    Morgan: Morgan/Riverdale/Ogden

    The pool of players in an age group are viewed as club mates that both train/compete against/with each other at various times of the year. Our coaches are mentored by age group directors and expected to have a players first mindset while working with their teams.

  • Team Names have significance and reflect their levels of commitment, ambition and competition.

    ”Select” teams are created at the U9-U12 players for more ambitious players. The Select teams will be created after tryouts. The players on the Select team will train together and play for the Select team at the State level AND with their local Challenger league team, giving the most ambitious players extra soccer while developing the entire pool of players at this age.

    ”Royalty” teams are the most ambitious teams in our community. Every team trains in a way that displays the intelligence and hard-working culture of our community. “Royalty” teams represent our community at the state and regional level in both U.S. Youth Soccer (state competition) & U.S. Club Soccer (regional competition). The goal for these teams is to attend National Championship tournaments and college showcases that provide exposure to college coaches and professional academies.

    ”Futures” teams, formerly referred to as “B” teams, the teams and their coaches will be a higher priority as they are trained to earn a spot on the “Royalty” teams. These “2nd” teams will be learning the same principles (style of play) as the “Royalty” teams. The players on these teams are expected to be ambitiously working towards improving themselves while learning how to play the “NUU way.” It is hoped that in the “future” they are prepared to make a seamless transition to a “Royalty” team when the opportunity is presented.

    ”Color” teams, in the instance that we have more than two state teams at an age group we simply name them by color based on how many teams we have. Navy, Gray, White, Black, Silver, etc. These teams typically play in lower levels of competition and are not as serious as the Royalty and Futures teams.
