Competitive Teams
PRFCYS has Junior Academy teams for boys and
girls ages U11 through U13 selected and trained
by our professional coaching staff. Our next tier of
competitive teams is our Academy teams for
youth ages U14 and older.
Both the Junior Academy and Academy teams will
play in the leagues of Soccer Alliance of Arizona
(SAAZ) and the SAAZ State Cups at the end of
their season, as well as local and regional
tournaments as determined by their team skill
level. We strive to have teams play at the highest
appropriate level possible.
Cultural and Leadership
Initiatives
Phoenix Rising has 6 core values that have
become the pillars for success for our Club: Trust,
Resilience,
Relationships,
Dedication,
Enjoyment, and Courage.
As we continue to grow and evolve, we
plan to use these traits as a roadmap for
success for our organization. Additionally,
we want to include all coaches, athletes,
and parents in the development process,
and will do so with periodic leadership
initiatives, including coach education,
player leadership modules and education,
and parent education as well.
Holistically, we want Phoenix Rising to be a
place where we develop successful young
people through the sport of soccer, and we
feel our cultural pillars and leadership
initiatives will play a big role in their
development.
