    Clarification of Skill Levels

    DFAC offers several levels of soccer commitment.  These are summarized below to help fill out your registration (not available for all divisions).  Recreational teams should be available for all age divisions.

    Recreational - Includes all U4, U6 and U8 teams and goes through U14.  Main focus is on fun while learning the sport.  Players do no attend Skill Evaluations and all teams play in our internal DFAC league.  An attempt is made to play everyone equally.  Season runs into December.

    Developmental - For players willing to make a more significant commitment.  There will typically be 2 practices per week, all teams play in the Valley Youth Soccer League (VYSL), usually 2 or more weekends dedicated to tournaments and additional fees for training and tournaments depending on the coach.  Everyone plays half the game minimum.  Season runs through January or early February.  Most of these teams use our Desert Fire name and fall under the Desert Elite Program.  Also, includes all our U8/U10 Desert Elite teams.

    Competitive/Premiere - Our highest level of play for players U11 and above; usually one team per division.  Includes multiple practices per week, additional fees for coaching/training/tournaments/equipment and playing time is dependent on coach.  Typically 5 or more weekends dedicated to tournaments.  Season could run into March/April.  Out-of-State travel is possible for our most advanced teams.
