History

Founded in 2003 by Michael Anderson, (who at that time was the head coach of Timpview High School mens soccer), as Utah County Strikers, UTAH FC (soccer club) was first set up as an organization for high school players in Utah Valley to play state-wide premier club soccer during the high school off-season.

In early 2009, the UC Strikers Soccer Club, a non-profit 501 (c) 3 youth organization, merged with another Utah County youth soccer organization and rebranded exchanging their red/white/black colors for the black/gold/white and the new name of UTAH FC - the FC an abbreviation for Futbol Club.

The current organization has anywhere from 300-500 youth soccer players on 30+ teams[1] playing under the banner of Utah Youth Soccer Association http://www.uysa.org - US Youth Soccer - US Soccer Federation - and FIFA.
