$50,000 Goal


Colorado United is aiming to raise funds to secure that every player in the Club has the chance to step onto a field and feel like they belong, that they have a shot to improve, compete, and have fun. This is not just about producing the next generation of soccer stars - though we have no doubt we’ll see some of them come out of this effort - it is about giving every kid regardless of income the chance to experience what soccer can offer and feel like they belong to something greater than themselves.


Why We Need You:

This is where you come in. We need your support to make this happen. Whether it is a long-term contribution or a small one, every bit counts. Your donation will go directly to providing field access and opportunity for all our community. It is about giving kids a place where they can play, grow, and find their passion. Let us give every kid the opportunity to play the game we all love and to develop into the best version of themselves. Together, we can make a real difference. 


How Your Contribution Will Be Used:

  • Outreach Program: Colorado United already provides an extensive outreach program through our partnership with Littleton Public Schools, North Littleton Promise and TOPSoccer. However, we want to significantly grow our outreach program so even more kids of limited financial means can gain access to the Beautiful Game and its important life-long lessons and friendships.
  • Scholarship Program: With the rising cost of youth soccer we are keenly aware of the need for us to provide a more significant scholarship program. It is our belief that money should not stand in the way of our kids’ ability to pursue their soccer dreams whatever they might be. Colorado United wants to help our players reach their goals.   
  • Community Events: Organizing events that bring our community together, fostering pride and unity while showcasing the talents and hard work of our young athletes.

  • Equipment and Uniforms: Providing high-quality equipment and uniforms for our teams, ensuring that all players have what they need to perform confidently and safely regardless of financial means.                                                                                   


Colorado United is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit youth sports club that serves the South-Metro Denver area youth soccer community. The original Littleton Soccer Club was founded in 1960. In 2005 Colorado United became the official name of the competitive arm of LSC and in the fall of 2023 we added elite national platform programming to further service our membership.  Colorado United/Littleton Soccer Club programming currently serves approximately 5,000 players (3,500 recreational & 1,500 competitive). As a community-based youth soccer club, we seek to develop players for life. Relationships within the community including Littleton Public Schools & South Suburban Parks & Recreation District as well as our extensive outreach program are extremely important to our organization. Our club philosophy is based on a desire to create complete players. This is an extensive program that includes age-specific training, preparation for soccer at the next level, developing individual & team soccer skills, teaching our club’s style of play, and igniting a passion for the game to last a lifetime. Our training program & philosophy are of the highest caliber, and we aim to ensure every coach is providing excellent age-specific development. Coaches create the environment for the entire team. We strive to find the best coaches that will inspire, provide leadership, exemplify excellence, and share their knowledge & passion for the game.
