Attention 2015-2005 Players: If you are interested in or planning on participating in the fall 2023 / spring 2024 9U/10U Select or 11U+ Competitive program, you must register your Intent to Play through PlayMetrics. This will ensure that you receive information regarding player placement for your player’s region and age group.

At Rapids Youth Soccer, we believe that soccer is more than just a game, and our expert coaches with years of experience developing players at all levels of the sport are dedicated to helping each player unlock their full potential. Follow the link below and search for your region + the summer season + your player's age group. Let's make this summer one to remember!

The CRYSC Summer College ID Event is back and bigger than ever in 2023! High-school-aged players are invited to showcase their abilities in front of some of the top college coaches in the nation and make in-person connections with the programs they represent. Check out our new hype video by clicking here or on the thumbnail above!

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!

When taking the field this spring, let’s continually renew our commitment to Let Us Play! Take the Let Us Play Pledge here and check out the Pledge & player testimonial videos too – they’re powerful! In addition, each time you’re on the field and see Let Us Play signage, let it serve as a reminder of our role as positive, civil spectators who provide players with the encouragement and ‘head space’ they need to become masters of their on-field decision-making.

Our boys were heavily immersed in English soccer and got to experience English culture, food, and history first-hand! Read more about the experience from Director of Club and in International Partnerships, Jeff Oleck, in our new #CRYSCInternational blog below!
