Utah Avalanche was formed in January 2001, as an all-girls competitive soccer club. It is the only club of its kind in the state. Joanna Barney, Utah Avalanche Executive Director, founded the club in 2001 to allow the state’s most talented female athletes to receive the training, support, and resources needed to realize their full potential. Barney believed if she could bring the best of the best from the state into one club, they could compete with anyone, at any level. Barney played Division I soccer at the University of Utah, it was her dream to give Utah athletes the opportunity to compete and receive recognition at the highest levels. Utah Avalanche has focused on the development of the female athlete for over a decade. Because of their singular focus on this group, Avalanche players have competed nationally, been recruited to Division I collegiate soccer programs, and have been more successful than any other female players in the state.
