Girls program is U5--U18. Boys program is U5--U14.
The "U" stands for "under", i.e. U5 means 4 years old as of July 31, U6 means 5 years old as of July 31 etc.. Players must be at least 4 years old by July 31 to play recreation soccer. Playing age group is determined by the month and year in which your child is born. Age groups are listed as U-5 or Under 5 if your child is 4 years old as of July 31, or U-10 (under 10) if your child is 9 years old as of July 31, etc.

As a non-profit, we work hard to keep costs down, and to accomplish this takes an army of volunteer coaches and parents giving their time and energy to make it happen. Enabling this extended team with the resources they need to be successful is essential. We've organized this site to arm our coaches, parents, referees, and players with the essentials for making it a positive experience. If you are interested in getting involved, let us know! Contact us at RecDirector@ImpactUnited.com. We are looking for parent coaches, team managers, sponsors, and special activity volunteers. By harnessing the talent and energy of our community to promote youth sports, we contribute to the development and growth of our young people and in doing so, make our schools and community a better place to live. We are grateful to all those who make it happen.

To register online as a recreation coach, you go to the same website as if you were registering a player here. Once you have completed your coach registration, please send an email confirming it has been completed to RecRegistrar@ImpactUnited.com. Please include your child's name you will be coaching and their birth date in the email. Be sure to register your player as well.

Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) requires that all coaches watch a 20-minute video on concussions AND complete the on-line Safe Sport training. Please complete these tasks before you register with Impact as you will be required to upload a copy of the completed training certificates to your coaching account. Please note Impact cannot upload these certificates for you. If you run into problems with the online training or certification upload issues please contact UYSA at 801.307.5150 and they'll be able to assist with uploading of certificates.

Be sure to read the Recreation Handbook to find more information about being a coach with Impact.

Each team will participate in at least one game and one practice each week while in the active season. Coaches (with parent input) will schedule times and days of practice sessions.  Practices generally begin 2 weeks before the first game.

Teams will be formed honoring player requests for a specific coach or to play with a friend, in as much as possible. However, this only applies up to the maximum team size and on a first come, first serve basis. Further, Impact United reserves the right to adjust teams for size and/or competitive balance. After player requests are considered, we try to group players together by geographic area using the Elementary School boundary in which players live as a guideline. Priority will be given to all requests received before May 31st. Impact United makes every effort to honor your requests within the guidelines and limitations we have. When other options are not available, players will be placed on teams that need players.

When Recreation and Academy players are ready for the next level, they move into the Competition program. Contact us for information and logistics on how this works at RecRegistrar@ImpactUnited.com

Impact United is generally located in the Highland, Skyline, , East, Olympus and Cottonwood High School geographic areas. Our game fields are located throughout these neighborhoods. Game fields are determined by field size and player age group. In younger age groups where we have several divisions, we make every effort to schedule games in close proximity to the teams’ geographic area. Older teams will play on fields located throughout the Impact United community.

Impact will provide all practice equipment, including a ball to use while practicing.  It is highly encouraged for each player to have their own ball to do at-home training, but it is not required to bring for practices or games.  The player will need to provide their own soccer cleats and shin gaurds, along with practice wear and game uniforms.  Game uniforms are purchased separate from the main program fees.

Q. What is the game cancelation policy for weather?
A. RECREATION GAMES WILL NOT BE CANCELLED FOR RAIN, unless lightning is present. We encourage playing through light rain or cold weather conditions. We recommend you attend your games with the intent of playing, and then if the rain becomes heavier or does not abate you may consider abandoning the game with mutual consent of both coaches. It is the policy of Impact United Soccer Club to cancel any game or practice at the FIRST sign of LIGHTNING. If there is enough snow accumulation that prevents the lines from being seen at your game field, the game is automatically cancelled. In some cases we have agreed to not to play at certain venues if the ground is extremely wet. We will advise you if your game is at one of those locations. If you don’t hear from us, your game is on. For any other reasons to cancel a game, both coaches must mutually agree. If a game is canceled, the coaches must notify the Referee Assignor for your age group /field at least one hour prior to game time so the referees can be contacted. The Referee Assignor’s Name and Phone Number is listed on the Schedule Page for your Age Group. There will be no rescheduled games.

Q. How are team pictures & awards handled?
A. Generally, team pictures are taken during the spring season. “Fall only” teams will have pictures taken during the fall season. Impact United provides one team photo for each player. If additional photos are desired, individual players may order directly from the photographer. See our Picture Schedule and Order Form for more information.
 - Player Registration fees includes the basic picture package. Please make team pictures a priority so each player can have the promised package. The photographer will have team rosters at picture time. Players not on the roster will not be in the team picture. Please insure the team roster is accurate to avoid discrepancies and disappointment.
 - Pictures and Awards are handed out by coaches during the spring season. If coaches cannot pick up pictures, they will need to arrange to pick them up directly from the photographer. Pictures and Awards should be distributed to the team following the last game of the season.
