The La Roca Futbol Club

The La Roca Futbol Club was established in June 2005 to provide a competitive youth soccer program in Utah. We are looking for the serious youth soccer player who desires an opportunity to develop and showcase his/her skills to the fullest potential. La Roca offers players a chance to play at the highest level of state competition and participate in various regional/national tournaments. In the past, many of our players have gone on to play at the Division I college level.

In addition, in many age groups, La Roca offers teams at various levels of in-state competition allowing the individual player to choose the level of commitment and competition that suits the player, while still enjoying high levels of training. La Roca places players on teams based on skill level and strives to have premier, select and developmental teams in all age groups when possible.

Adolfo Ovalle, Director of Coaching, holds an A license and played profession for 15 years before establishing La Roca. He expects the highest level of professionalism from his coaches and trainers. La Roca has more A, B and C licensed coaches than any other club in the state. We pride ourselves on the high level of training we provide for our players. We have State Cup winning teams in several age groups. We begin training and developing players at the youngest age groups (U8) and continue to develop through age 18.

La Roca offers teams beginning at age U8 and U9 which play in the Academy League in our district (local). At U10, teams may play in the district league (local) or X-League (state). At U11, teams are divided into Premier and Select teams and usually play at the state level.

All players who play for La Roca pay a yearly registration fee and club fee. Additional fees may include tournament fees, referee fees, indoor/futsal league fees and indoor facility fees.

The club is sponsored by Puma with uniforms and coaches’ gear.

La Roca sponsors a yearly tournament, The La Roca Pioneer Cup, held in July at Ellison Park in Layton. This is a club fundraiser with money raised used to offer scholarships to players, provide additional training for our coaches and trainers, provide equipment and provide additional services to our players.

We encourage parents to get involved at the team level by being a team manager, snack parent, travel coordinator, or financial manager and/or at the club level by volunteering for our tournament and/or serving on club committees.

We offer additional training through a camp each summer. As part of La Roca, players pay a reduced rate for the 4-day camp. La Roca also offers team training during December. La Roca has partnered with Weber State University Soccer and offers the WSU / La Roca Juniors program for 5-10 year old players. This is held twice a year, fall and spring.

La Roca is committed to making the best possible soccer experience for your child. We provide excellent training with the hope of developing your player to be part of a State Cup winning team.
