South Franklin Soccer Program


The South Franklin Soccer Program is a volunteer-based soccer program that provides children from low-income families the opportunity to play on soccer teams for free! The league has six teams coached by volunteers and they play in the park at The Boulders Apartments. With help from the Boulders Management, Lehi Metal Mart, and Mr. Larry Webster of Payson Junior High School, goal posts were constructed and installed at the park to give the children their own private soccer field. The program grew much larger than anticipated and was a huge success!

The program was funded by donations from the following sponsors: Ottavio's, Merz Properities, Qualtrics, and the Comitas Cultural Club. These sponsors provided the teams with the soccer balls, cones, whistles, equiptment bages, stopwatches, and t-shirts.

The next season will start in the middle of August. If you're interested in being a volunteer coach, referee, or want to be a sponsor please contact us at 801-691-5282.
