Aztec Soccer is committed to providing our players with the best training and development opportunities through a core-based curriculum so that they can reach their maximum potential both on and off the field. In addition, we strive to offer competitive platforms for our youngest to oldest players. Each platform has been selected to provide players with the appropriate level of competition.

Below are the leagues that our girls teams currently play in during the fall and spring seasons. Each league offers a unique competitive platform that complements the training and off-field opportunities that Aztec provides.
