Thank you for trusting us with your children in this amazing game! Thank you for all that you sacrifice for your athletes to play soccer.


Last night, we held our first ever Parent Education. This interaction will be designed to help all parents have a clearer understanding of Celtic’s methodology in player development and how parents can assist in their child's development. You can find the recording HERE. This will also be uploaded into PlayMetrics Resource Center.


With the kids in mind, we have created a contextual framework for what success looks like when developing players. This Profile of a Utah Celtic Player. The Law of Gradualness is a key factor in the creation of this tool. We have created four levels that will support kids through their growth here at Utah Celtic. You can find those four levels HERE.


As a follow up, we encourage this profile to be a working document in your child's development. We have created Individual Development Plans to help athletes recognize areas of strength and growth.

We know that soccer changes lives. We also know that athletes participation is fragile. Adult interactions are crucial to the retention of our athletes. A call to action is to have all parents establish their WHY. From there, I challenge all of us to have our actions match our why.


Lastly, we are curious as to how we can help improve our environment through parents. If you will, please take 3 minutes and fill out the survey below. This will help us formulate our interactions to maximize your time and efforts.
