"This year's event calendar features a variety of events that we are excited about adding, such as robust offerings in Football and Figure Skating. Additionally, we're pleased to continue building sports we've added in recent years, such as Mountain Biking, Cheer & Dance, and High School Boys' Volleyball."

LHM USG programming will open on February 22 with a co-sanctioned Figure Skating event at the Olympic Oval in Kearns. The ever-growing LHM USG Wrestling event will take place at Canyon View High School on March 21-22. The dates for 7-on-7 Football will be June 9-10, with the Girls' High School Flag Football and Youth Flag Football scheduled for June 16-17.Â

The growth in USG programming has also necessitated moving events around to facilitate additional growth. Youth Basketball will move to a weekend date, scheduled for June 29-30. Boys' High School Volleyball will move to June 6-7, while other Indoor Volleyball events will take place June 18-21. Additionally, the department plans to add Outdoor Volleyball at a date to be determined.
