UTAH CELTIC FC JUNIORS DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE

Celtic Juniors Development League is an innovative soccer program designed specifically for children aged 5 to 7 who are beginning their journey in soccer. Our mission is to create a supportive and engaging developmental environment that bridges the gap between high-level training and recreational leagues. By focusing on fundamental skills, a fun environment, and the foundation of soccer, we aim to provide young players with the tools and confidence they need to thrive on the field. Our program fosters a passion for the game while ensuring that each child has the opportunity to grow and excel at their own pace, making soccer accessible and enjoyable for all.
