About the Team: The Utah Starzz is home to a great variety of highly skilled players from the Intermountain Region. This successful team rosters college, post-college, foreign, high school and other talented players every year. Many college programs encourage their players to play in our summer league because they believe it helps them prepare for the upcoming season. These players gain tremendous experience playing alongside other dedicated, competitive players, some of whom are former professional soccer players and others whom are aspiring to become professionals on or off the field. The Utah Starzz provides a playing opportunity for elite woman soccer players to play, develop and promote Women's Soccer at the highest amateur level in North America. Their 2012 season will begin in May. The Utah Starzz Tryouts are just around the corner. We would like to welcome last seasons players to come and are looking for new talent as well. Tryouts will be held Saturday, May 5th at 9 a.m. at the Mountain View High School, directly west of the Mountain View High School auditorium and Building. Located at 665 West Center Street in Orem, Utah. We are excited to see some amazing talent and skills displayed this season!
