The 1917 catalog mentioned that Mr. Donald Biery introduced soccer
into schools
in the Phoenix area. First it was introduced to the upper grades
of the training school as
a substitute for football. Students from valley
schools played then the Normal School
students began to play informal games.
Soccer was popular for both the athletes and
the spectators. Women's soccer
was introduced in 1925. Today, women's Soccer is an
intercollegiate sport.
