AZSC Families
AZSC offers more than a place for children and adults to play soccer; we inspire a love and respect for the game. We believe in building strong relationships as well as strong players. We are dedicated to maintaining our family oriented environment to insure you feel at home here. Our friendships and families here at the Arizona Soccer Club are the building blocks of our great program.

AZSC Coaches
Starting with the Spring 2009 Season AZSC Soccer will require that all Recreational Coaches attend an AZSC age appropriate training course. The course is free and requires only a few hours during a weekend. This training is meant to raise the level of knowledge within our tireless volunteer recreational pool of coaches. We understand that you have been giving your time and this is our thank you to you.*** All Coaches will be given a certificate and AZSC Certified Recreational Coach Shirt
AZSC Recreational Winter Coaches Certification

AZSC History
From Inception to Today: Arizona Soccer Club (AZSC) was formed on July 24,2002, based on the principle of offering a fun and safe place for youth to play soccer. The inaugural recreational soccer season took place at Nichols Park in Gilbert, Arizona on January 11, 2003. Although it started fairly small, it has experienced stable growth and continues to serve the Gilbert and Queen Creek communities by providing a positive outlet for boys and girls as young as 3 through 15 years old. Here they learn the basics of the game, as well as teamwork and sportsmanship. The following is a glimpse of how our recreational program has grown:

As the club grew, so did the need for higher level competition. In 2004, the AZSC formed a competitive, traveling soccer program - the Thunder Club. Thunder continues to grow and is committed to training the next generation of soccer players. This is evident in the structure of practices and scrimmages led by Director of Coaching, Alex Fonseca, former international, professional soccer player. His impressive credentials and passion for the game address technical, tactical, physical and psychological play. Alex, along with his well qualified coaching staff which is comprised of several former professional players, continue to raise the level of play to experience both short and long term sustained success. The following summarizes the growth of the Thunder club:
