The Desert Classic Tournament, hosted by SC del Sol, is a superbly run tournament that puts teams and players first. In 2019, it attracted 400 teams from 16 different states and Canada, making it one of the biggest and best soccer tournaments in the southwest yet again. 

Aside from our Presidents' Day Tournament there is no other tournament in Arizona that attracts as many out of state teams. 140 of the participating teams in 2019 represented the following states and Canada: Arizona, Cal-South, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

Since 1999, this event has grown in size and stature and gone from strength to strength. The reason for this is the annual promise we make to all of our valued teams. 

The Desert Classic Promise:

1) All goals and fields are regulation size
2) There is a guaranteed 3 game minimum for all teams.
3) The length of the games is regulation based upon age group.
4) There are no coach conflicts in the group stages (based upon one coach coaching two teams).
5) There are multiple flights in every age group ensuring that all teams are evenly matched.

6) All of the locations used are the very best in Arizona.
