About the Celtic Storm Soccer Club


Celtic Storm Soccer Club (CSSC) for girls was established in 1996 in Orem, Utah by Robyn Bretzing. The club is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The parents, players and coaches are all members of the nonprofit corporation with a Board of Directors running club operations.


In 1996, the club started with two teams and has grown to over sixteen teams currently ranging from ages U10 to U19. Players join CSSC from all over the state of Utah with the majority of our players coming from the Utah Valley area. The club boasts 12 State Cup Titles and multiple league and tournament championships. Our club philosophy centers on developing the individual player's technical ability and tactical knowledge. CSSC players are students of the game in a highly competitive environment.
