Our Rapids Elite 11U/12U program is an introduction to our Elite programming for the youngest age group. With four teams (Boys 11U, Girls 11U, Boys 12U, and Girls 12U), this program provides elite training and game opportunities for these players. It is a great way to identify players early in advance of ECNL tryouts.
These players also get an opportunity to participate in futsal training at our Elite Performance Center @ Regis University, which is a great tool for player development. The futsal environment is fast-paced, improving the quality and speed with which players make decisions. We feel it can greatly benefit the individual technical development and ability to handle the ball in tight spaces.
All Elite and Select 1 11U and 12U boys and girls are invited to attend kickarounds in the Spring. These typically are held in March through April and include 4-5 weekly kickarounds.
Players will then be selected and invited to join one of the Rapids Elite teams during the Player Selection Process which starts the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Any players who are not invited to a team are still eligible for ECNL tryouts once they reach the 13U age group, and we encourage them to continue playing with their region.
Spring (Jan>May):
Travel expenses for events can range from $800-$2,000 depending on the event location and length. Players who accept a spot on a Rapids Elite 11U/12U team are expected to participate in all games and travel events, which may include:
We follow individual travel for our Rapids Elite 11U/12U teams. This means players will travel and stay with their own families for the entirety of the trip.
Teams are responsible to cover the costs for:
Airfare, hotel, rental car(s), gas, meals/snacks, coach airfare, coach and chaperone(s) hotel, chaperone meals w/team, and coach per diem.
After a player commits to a team, and completes the registration, the player is considered registered to the club. Each player is bound to the club for the entire seasonal year, which runs from August 1 to May 31. Families have the option of paying in full or choosing a payment plan which requires an initial payment and the remaining balance is divided equally into four or eight installments. Each family is obligated to the full financial commitment, regardless of the choice made.
Once a player has committed to the team and submitted payment, a refund will not be processed by the club after that point.
Please note: Travel expenses for flights, hotels, transportation, and more, as well as uniforms, and other additional expenses will be required throughout the season. You should expect an average of $1,000 per event in additional cost. This may vary depending on the location and length of the event.
Registration fees may be offset through need-based financial assistance and team fees may be offset through Club-sponsored fundraising including grocery rebate and bingo programs. Please see our website for additional information on these programs.
Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club Elite programming follows a strict no-refund policy. Once you and your player accept an invitation for a Rapids Elite 11U/12U, ECNL, EDS, or Futsal team, and make a payment, all registrations are non-refundable. The refund policy is in place for a reason. It allows us to budget appropriately and provides coaches, facilities, administration, and additional resources that are necessary to run a non-profit youth sports organization.
The club may, however, in its sole discretion, consider refund requests under the following: (1) a player moves more than 50 miles from a Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club region prior to the start of the season, (2) a player becomes injured or ill and can no longer participate in the season, or (3) any other exigent circumstances the club deems necessary or appropriate. Please note that in order for refund requests to be considered due to injury, such requests must be made within two weeks of the player’s injury/illness and must include a physician’s note for verification. No refunds will be provided for any reason after the third scheduled game of the season. All refunds, if granted, are subject to a processing fee.
Any travel expenses, including plane tickets, transportation, accommodations, coaches’ travel expenses, and coaches’ per diems purchased for team travel are non-refundable.
