The Desert Divas have been members of the Arizona Women's Soccer League since 2001. We typically carry 17-20 women on our roster with skill levels that range from the beginner to strong 'B' league players. Some of the women on our team have played all their lives and others played as young girls and wanted to come back to the sport.
