The safety of all attendees at DCT 2022, is of utmost importance to us. For DCT 2021, we successfully implemented a series of protocols and procedures that were designed to create a safe environment for all participating teams and players. If we need to implement these protocols for 2022, we will do so. At the moment we have zero Covid restrictions. If Covid 19 leads to the cancellation of DCT 2022, all registrations will be refunded.

The Desert Classic Tournament, hosted by SC del Sol, is a superbly run tournament that puts teams and players first. In 2020, it attracted 400 teams from 14 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. 128 of the participating teams in 2020 represented the following states and Canada: Arizona, Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, 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) We will attempt to avoid coach conflicts in the group stages.
5) There are multiple flights in every age group ensuring that all teams are evenly matched.
