Youth soccer clubs in Wyoming
Wyoming is the least populated state in the country, and youth soccer here looks different from anywhere on the coasts.
Club soccer in Wyoming
There are no ECNL, MLS NEXT or Girls Academy clubs inside the state. What you'll find instead are community clubs in nearly every town, run mostly by parents and volunteers, that offer recreational soccer and a competitive travel tier. The Wyoming Soccer Association, also known as USYS Wyoming, lists more than twenty member clubs, from Cheyenne and Casper to small towns like Lander, Pinedale, Torrington and Worland.
The biggest clubs sit on the main population centers. Cheyenne Soccer Club, in the southeast corner, has been organizing competitive youth teams since the early 1980s and runs recreational, STING competitive and high school select programs. Casper Soccer Club plays at the North Casper Soccer Complex and runs its competitive teams as the Blades. Jackson Hole Youth Soccer has been going since 1994 and has a travel program plus a recreational academy. Laramie Soccer Club, near the University of Wyoming, runs youth competitive and recreational teams and hosts the Cowboy Turf Wars tournament.
Distance is the defining feature. Casper is about 180 miles from Cheyenne, and Jackson is roughly 400 miles from Cheyenne by road, so a lot of the soccer calendar is built on weekend trips. Teams also cross state lines for competition, with clubs from Sheridan going to Bozeman and Rapid City for tournaments. Many serious players head to Colorado, Utah or Montana to find national-level leagues.
The state's showcase events are the Wyoming Cup and Championships and the Equality State Championships. The association also runs Wyoming ODP, a select program, and a Wyoming 307 Select and College ID Camp for older players. Winters are long and cold, so indoor programs and futsal matter, and most outdoor soccer happens in spring and fall.

Meet Recruitly ›Choosing a club in Wyoming
In Wyoming, choose by proximity first, because the nearest club may be the only one. In larger towns like Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie you'll often find a split between recreational teams and a competitive tier, so ask how players are placed and whether evaluations are required. If your child wants a national league, plan on travel or a move, since the nearest ECNL and Girls Academy clubs are in Colorado, Utah or Idaho.
Ask clubs about their tournament calendar, because many Wyoming teams spend more on gas than on fees. Check the state association's Find A Club page to see all member clubs, and look into Wyoming ODP and the 307 Select and College ID Camp if your player is older. Registration for fall usually opens in summer, but tryouts and evaluations for competitive teams can come earlier.
Before you sign anything, read up on what club soccer costs and how tryouts and offers usually work. Most Wyoming families find the second season easier than the first.
