Utah Avalanche

Utah Avalanche has focused on the development of the female athlete for over a decade. Because of their singular focus on this group, Avalanche players have competed nationally, been recruited to Division I collegiate soccer programs, and have been more successful than any other female players in the state. In 2001, Barney asserted, "We are going to train our players with qualified coaches, and help each one of them reach their highest level of achievement. I have no doubt that our girls will be able to compete with anyone in the nation. What Barney said back in 2001 has proven to be true.Utah Avalanche has signed 100% of its athletes for 9 years now to college programs. The 92 Black (U18) team was the first Utah team to win the super division title at the Surf College Cup in San Diego and signed 100% of their players to an NCAA Division I soccer program. More Recently the 94 ECNL team repeated the feat and placed 100% of their roster in Division I soccer programs. Utah Avalanche currently has more than fifty teams - most of these teams compete in the Utah Youth Soccer Competitive Program at the Premier Level. Avalanche teams have had continued success at the State and region level prompting the invitation to the Elite Clubs National League. During Avalanche's state cup dominance from 2001-2010 (preceding ECNL participation) Avalanche teams won more than twice as many State Cups as any other Utah club and boasted winners in 48% of every State Cup in which the club entered a premier team. Avalanche players have consistently represented Utah in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) State Team, many have advanced to the Region level of the program, as well as the regional and national level of US Soccer's iD2 national identification program & a select few have attended National camps and played in Youth World Cups. Avalanche has placed more female players on the National level than all other Utah Clubs combined. Utah Avalanche is the only Utah girls club that is consistently recognized, not only in the Western region, but throughout the nation. A testament to this fact is the club's participation in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL). ECNL is a national youth soccer league founded for the purpose of providing the highest level of competition, the best developmental environment and identification of players for US Soccer's National Teams. Avalanche continues to expand its offerings and training opportunities for its athletes each year. The passion for the success of their players begins with Executive Director, Joanna Barney; Director of Coaching, Jimmie Powell; age group Directors, Karen Chin, James Fry, Doug Lemmons & Jeremiah Bailey; and is shared by the club's coaches, parents, and athletes. Utah Avalanche is where Utah's best female soccer players come to train, persevere, and ultimately perform at levels they never thought possible.
