Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club (CRYSC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. CRYSC is Colorado’s premier youth soccer experience and the only club in Colorado to offer opportunities from three years old to professional, from beginner to Major League Soccer, with year-round youth soccer programs of all levels serving over 10,000 children across the Front Range seasonally.
Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer is committed to being ‘The Heart Behind the Crest’ by focusing on our player’s development both on and off the field.
Part of committing to the heart of our players and communities is dedicating funds to lower barriers for players across the Front Range to access youth soccer programming. For the past several years, CRYSC has allocated $250,000 annually to our scholarship program - serving hundreds of Rapids Youth players of all levels. We want to add to our scholarship program, increasing the number of families that we serve every season with your help.
"My daughter loved going to soccer practice. The coaches made each practice fun. My daughter loved using different themes each week to learn soccer skills and how to play the game. Playing outside in the summer became very hot at times but the coaches made sure everyone stayed hydrated with many water breaks. Highly recommend checking out the soccer start program."
- Sierra Kimbro
"The Colorado Rapids organization is top notch. The soccer programs my kiddos have had access to have been great in developing their skills and allowing them to get what they want out of their efforts with the sport. There are developmental programs for littles, rec and rec plus for learning and honing and then if/when they want to take the next step there is Rising Rapids and competitive avenues. The staff are always informative and transparent and we have had a wonderful experience so far. If you are looking to get your kids into a soccer program with a clear pathway of success - no matter what that looks like for your kiddo, then Rapids is it. They are the best Soccer program in Colorado!!"
- Liz Kreishner
