History

Arizona Arsenal SC was founded in 1992[3] as a recreational soccer club[4] in the Phoenix area. Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club (formally Gilbert Soccer Club) was created in 1992 as an offshoot of the Gilbert Youth Soccer Association (GYSA). GYSA recognized the need in the community to create a place where highly advanced players could develop and compete throughout Arizona.[5] In the early 2000s, the club began to transition towards a more competitive focus, bringing on directors of coaching like Tim Barmettler who helped the club retain more players.[6]

In the 2010s, Arizona Arsenal continued to grow and expand, opening their own training facility at the Legacy Sports Park which features 20 turf fields, 4 and natural grass fields. The club now fields over 50 youth teams across both the boys' and girls' programs. Arizona Arsenal has had strong success in state and regional competitions, with multiple teams reaching the state final four.

In 2023, Arizona Arsenal SC announced that they would be joining USL League Two, the top pre-professional men's league in the United States and Canada.
