This is the LAST MONTH to sign up for spring recreational soccer! Programs are kicking off in March - are you registered for another fun-filled season of youth soccer? Sign up today and join a Rapids team near you in our Castle Rock, South, Central, North, and Fort Collins regions.

To register for the upcoming season, click the link below to visit the 2023 spring season registration page, log into your account, go through the sign-up process, and confirm your player's registration. We can't wait to kick off another year of Rapids Youth Soccer and see you and your player(s) out on the fields again this spring!

The summer season is a perfect time for players to bridge the spring and fall in a way that will maximize growth and emphasize fun. With camps available for all skill levels and ages across our Fort Collins, North, Central, South, and Castle Rock regions, CRYSC offers a variety of experiences tailored to those looking to improve their skills, have a great time at camp, and everything in-between. Follow the link below and search your region + the summer season, + your player's age group to see camps available near you.

The residential camp experience is designed to build skills and understanding of the game in an inclusive and safe learning environment! The camp will incorporate key components of developing elite potential like "Team-building and Culture", "Futsal", and "Young Leadership" as the staff maximizes the added opportunity and time with players. We are offering an overnight and non-overnight option this year, the latter will go from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM.

Attending athletes can expect to compete on premier fields in front of an audience of college coaches looking for the right players to fit their school. Coaches from Division 1, 2, 3, NAIA, and Junior colleges around the country will be in attendance. Athletes can attend one or multiple sessions!

Who & How Much? 

SportsRecruits Information 2023: all high school players have been provided with a FREE account on the SportsRecruits platform that will allow them to set up an athletic and academic profile, search for potential colleges, create and host highlight videos, and communicate directly with any college soccer coach in the country!

CRYSC offers athlete assistance in the college recruitment process through the CRYSC College Placement Program (CPP) starting their freshman year in high school. This free service helps teams and individuals with player profiles, video development, online support guides, college communication, and understanding of college timelines. The CPP provides players with the opportunity to take their education and game to the next level.

If you would like to get involved or have questions about the program, please contact Anthony Presnell, at anthony.presnell@rapidsyouthsoccer.org or visit the college soccer page on the CRYSC website!

Congrats to Shawn Woodall on winning the UCHealth Player of the Month award for February 2023!

Shawn plays outside back for our Rapids 06B South Select team, where his teammates and coaches know him as a defender that demonstrates quality, consistency, and leadership. In January 2023, Shawn participated in a #CRYSCInternational trip to Germany. On the trip and on the field, Shawn was regularly one of the best-performing players and a leader in the dressing room. Off the field, Shawn took exceptional ownership of his team's representation of CRYSC abroad.
