Let’s inspire our players & coaches to lead with integrity and be respectful, responsible members of our soccer community. We can be fierce competitors and great sports.

Please take time to talk with your players about what it means to be a good teammate—showing respect for themselves, their peers, opponents, referees, and coaches alike.

Encourage accountability: own your mistakes, give thoughtful, kind feedback, and be open to receiving it too.

Focus on what you can control, and always strive to be the best version of yourself—on and off the field! 

• The majority of games are played on Saturdays, with some games scheduled on Sundays.
• Teams have four home games (Emerald Park) and four away games per season Fall & Spring Season.
• Most games take place in the Denver metro area, but teams should be prepared to travel to locations such as Vail, Grand Junction, Pueblo, Wyoming, or CO Springs.
• All players are expected to travel to ALL away games as part of their team commitment.
• Our coaches work hard to consolidate away games into just two weekends to minimize travel, and while this is often successful, occasional challenges like weather, field or referee availability, and Spring Break conflicts can make it difficult.

• U11-U12 teams primarily compete in local in-state tournaments.
