Things will look a bit different when the longest-tenured team in the WPSL’s Mountain Conference takes the field next summer. 

The Utah Red Devils and its affiliate youth club, Utah Soccer Alliance (USA), have partnered with City SC to form City SC Utah. 


The partnership will put the Red Devils, and more than 1,300 youth players playing for one of the 90-plus USA teams across the South Valley and metropolitan Salt Lake City areas, under the same crest for the first time. Though affiliated, the Red Devils and the Utah Soccer Alliance were separate entities playing under different names and crests. 

“Now the kids in our club will have the same uniforms as the WPSL team. They can go to the games and then emulate the women they see playing for the same team as them,” Dennis Burrows, City SC Utah WPSL coach, said. “With five WPSL teams in the region and the Royals in the NWSL, this is such a great place for a female soccer player to grow up.”

Along with his WPSL coaching duties, which date back to 2008 when he founded Salt Lake City Sparta Women with now WPSL Commissioner, Kendra Halterman, Burrows assumes the role of Director of Coaching for City SC Utah, the position he held with USA. 

City SC started in Southern California and has grown to eight locations including Hawaii and Fredrick, Md., providing more than 10,000 players with access to world-class coaching resources. 

“This is going to be a game-changer for us. We now have access to incredible coaching education and mentoring,” Burrows said. “There is going to be so much more exposure for our players now that they are part of a club with nationwide reach.”
