Desert Elite kicks up talent

The Desert Elite Program is looking for interested soccer players for this year’s developmental (Desert Fire) or competitive and premiere (Desert Elite) teams.

From May 12‑14, June 2‑4 and June 23‑25, the Desert Elite will hold tryouts at Desert Willow Park in Tatum Ranch.

All teams are under direction of the DFSC Pro Training Staff, which consists of six full‑time members and four part‑time professionals. Teams typically practice on fields throughout the northeast Phoenix, north of Bell Road.

The program begins with the U‑8 Junior Elite program and supports all ages up to U‑18 teams.
