US Youth Soccer Far West Regional champions crowned for 2021
FRISCO, Texas — A total of 14 teams were crowned champions at the 2021 US Youth Soccer Far West Regional Championships in Boise, Idaho.
The 14 Far West Regional Champions now advance to the 2021 USYS National Championships, which will be played July 20-25 at the Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch in Lakewood Ranch, Fla.
Utah club La Roca FC and California’s Total Futbol Academy led all clubs at the event, each having two teams win regional titles in their respective age groups.
Seven of the winners were representatives of the US Youth Soccer National League, as members of the Desert Conference. The National League’s Pacific Conference and Northwest Conference were unable to hold competition in the 2020-21 season due to Covid-19. Despite that fact, the National League made a significant impact at the Far West Regionals through the performance of the Desert Conference teams.
In all, 16 of the 56 semifinalists were teams that competed in the Desert Conference during the 2020-21 season. Eleven of those teams advanced to the finals and seven captured Far West Regional Championships.
