This partnership marks a monumental milestone in our club's journey, and we couldn't be more excited about the possibilities it brings for our soccer community. Here's why this partnership is so significant:

1. Enhanced Branding and National Presence: Joining forces with City SC means stepping onto a bigger stage and amplifying our presence across the nation. This partnership opens doors to new opportunities and greater visibility for our club on a national scale.

From elite training programs to cutting-edge coaching clinics, this partnership opens doors to a world of new opportunities for growth and advancement. Rest assured, while our club undergoes this exciting transformation, the heart and soul of Utah Soccer Alliance remain unchanged. The same dedicated board of directors, coaching directors, and staff will continue to lead the way, ensuring a seamless transition and
unwavering commitment to our soccer community.

As we embark on this thrilling new chapter as City SC Utah, we have some exciting initiatives
lined up for you:

● Stay tuned for the unveiling of our new branding and club website, which will be rolled
out in the coming months.

● Join us for a special coaching development program in early August, along with exclusive playing, training, and ID opportunities for our elite teams. We are incredibly excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and the chance to elevate our
club to unprecedented heights alongside City SC.

Together, we are stronger, more dynamic,
and more poised than ever to achieve greatness.
A few important notes to keep in mind:

● No new uniform purchase will be required in 2024. We will continue with our current uniform cycle and introduce the new City SC uniforms in 2025.

● All staff, teams, and locations will remain the same as usual.

● Player fees will stay in line with the existing structure, and the partnership will not have a significant impact on fees.
● Our club's legal structure will remain unchanged; this partnership primarily focuses on branding and development and does not alter the fundamental makeup of the club.

The Board of Directors, coaching staff, and everyone involved in Utah Soccer Alliance are buzzing with excitement about this new direction, and we cannot wait to embark on this journey with you.
Get ready to cheer on City SC Utah as we write the next chapter of our soccer legacy together!

Go City SC Utah!
Warm regards,
Brandon Lund

In an effort to enhance and create a healthier competitive environment for Utah's soccer community, we are excited to join the UPL. In addition to our acceptance, we also look forward to collaborating with the other teams/clubs that will be participating in the league as we collectively aim to create developmental opportunities for all clubs and teams regardless of the National, Regional, or State Platforms.

The Utah Platform League will consist of clubs and teams who are able to qualify through either the following National Platforms (ECNL, GA, & E64) or the USYS National Championship Series (State Cup). For competition purposes, UPL member clubs will only be allowed one (1) team per age group, per gender, that qualifies through the identified National Platform Leagues. Meanwhile, UPL club teams will not be limited to the number of teams participating. This will be based on results as defined in qualifications.

As for UPL qualified teams, they become eligible as either State Cup Finalists or Champions, and maintain the option to still play in the UYSA gaming league or UYSA State Cup. Clubs participating via the National Platform Leagues: Utah Soccer Alliance (USYS E64 NL), Sparta (Boys USYS E64 NL), Celtic (Girls Academy League), Wasatch SC (Girls Academy League), La Roca (ECNL) & Avalanche (ECNL)

"This has been something that we have been hoping for many years. This initiative will be a significant stepping stone towards the growth and development of club soccer in Utah.

We look forward to seeing how this league will come together and contribute to the bright future of soccer in our community."- Dennis Burrows, Director of Coaching
