Dear UDA and soccer families,

It is with heavy hearts that we share that one of our former players, Nathalie, has passed away.

Nathalie was a major part of the soccer community and an important person to Coach Oscar, the Hernandez family, and so many players and families who knew and loved her.

Please keep Nathalie’s family, friends, teammates, and everyone who loved her in your hearts during this incredibly difficult time. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this post. Any support can help ease some of the burden on her family and remind them that they are surrounded by people who care.

Every bit of support makes a huge difference. https://gofund.me/1dd574d6d

Former UDA players — we could use your help! 💙⚽

If you still have a uniform from last year that you no longer need, please consider lending or donating it back to the club so we can help a current boys or girls player get on the field this season.

Even one uniform can make a big difference for a UDA family.

📩 Send us a DM or email [email protected] if you can help.

Thank you for continuing to support our UDA community! 💙🖤⚽

Girls & Women in Sports Day is today 💪✨

Led each year by the , this celebration lifts up girls and women in sports and reminds us why these spaces matter. Sports build confidence, strength, and character—helping girls recognize their power and step into leadership on and off the field.

The research backs it up: sports help girls thrive. Girls who play sports report 1.5× higher levels of meaning and purpose than those who have never played.

In our program, we see this every day—in the way girls show up for each other, push through challenges, and grow into confident young women. Reach out to learn how you can support getting more girls out on the pitch. 🖤⚽️✨

Last Saturday, the UDA 07B team made it to the Presidents Cup finals and lost 1–0 to a solid Fire FC team, the only team we had already lost to earlier in the tournament. As competitors, we were disappointed, but it was a good game where we competed hard.

After the match, we took a photo with the Fire team to celebrate what youth sports are supposed to look like: players being their best, competing hard while respecting opponents, and adults there to support the boys. Sports can be a moment of growth when the culture is right, and it was that night.

Comments from parents on both sides mentioned making all the boys take a photo because they’re moving quickly into the next phases of their lives, and they wanted one last photo of their adolescence.

Isn’t that the point of all of this, for the kids? For their future?

After a busy four days down in St. George for Presidents Cup—supporting each other and competing alongside our UDA teams—we finally got a solid recovery day. The teams at Presidents Cup took a campus tour of Utah Tech to get loose, then the 07B boys stuck around, got homework done, and hung out to get ready for a big morning in semi-finals. We may not be known for our consistency in mini-golf skills 😅, but we are headed to the semifinals in the morning. Proud of the way all three teams and families have shown up for each other all week. Let’s finish strong.
