Mission

From athletic abilities like balance and strength to interpersonal skills like teamwork and communication, the positive benefits that sports provide is undeniable. Our mission is to provide a fun, engaging environment where players of all capabilities can learn these skills while creating a life long love of the game.
About Our Founder
Hello! My name is Amanda Axelson and I am the owner and operator of Axe House Sports. As a former premier and college soccer coach and a mom of three boys I've envisioned running my own sports-based business for a long time. Having left my coaching career behind when we moved to Herriman in Spring of 2022 I thought I had put those dreams to rest. However, being a stay at home mom left me itching to get back on the pitch. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE being with my boys! But there's something about being on the field and working with a bunch of crazy kids that has always been good for my soul. Thus Axe House Sports was born!
Whether you are looking for a fun activity for your youngster to work out some energy, have a player looking to push to the next level, or you and your student-athlete need some guidance on how to navigate the college recruiting process, I am confident Axe House Sports can provide the environment and resources you are looking for.
