The program
The foundation of the club.
Mountain City is where the club starts. Every player from 1st grade through high school comes through here, so this is the program we care about most — the place we teach the game the right way, the place that feeds Utah Gold on the Nike circuit, the place that carries the Mountain City name.
Teams are assembled by skill level so every kid gets the right competition and coaching. Twice-weekly practices, strategic game scheduling, fundamentals first. No shortcuts.
The way we play
Detailed. Organized. Relentless.
02
Every player, a plan
Teams are assembled by skill level so every athlete gets the right competition and coaching. Twice-weekly practices and a clear path to improve.
03
Built to compete
League games and tournaments across the calendar. Real minutes, real reps, real competition at every age group.
How it's built
Three bands. One program.
Every Mountain City team is grouped by both age and skill so players compete alongside — and against — the right competition every single practice and game.
Youth
1st – 5th grade
Fundamentals, footwork, and fun. The best place to fall in love with the game.
