CRYSC 9U-10U programming continues to build upon the technical foundation started in the Soccer Start and 6U-8U programs and builds on the Colorado Rapids curriculum. Program offerings cover the spectrum of player pathways, from beginner to pre-competitive leagues, that offer the highest level of competition in the State.
Training and games are held at convenient, centralized, community locations in the Denver metro area. The game format is played in line with US Soccer Directives for small-sided games, which is 7v7 with goalkeepers. Team sizes of 10-12 players ensure plenty of game time to apply the skills and techniques that are presented in the twice (Rec and Rec+) weekly curriculum-based training.
While any family can elect to participate in the Recreational or Rec+ Programs, players must be invited to join the Select Program. Our Rapids Youth Soccer Staff works directly with volunteer coaches, players, and parents throughout the year to evaluate and place players in the most developmentally-appropriate environment. It is our intention to provide a place for every player to play at 9U/10U, no matter what their playing ability might be or their desired level of competition.
