Summer Residential Camp (Overnight and Non-Overnight): 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.

President's Day Camp: We still have one more opportunity to participate in a Winter Futsal Camp! Utilizing smaller spaces/team sizes and indoor collegiate courts to provide an unmatched player experience, 9U-14U players are invited to join our President's Day Camp this February!

Futsal Spring Break Camps: We are offering two Futsal Spring break camps, one 4-day, and one 5-day camp! Are you looking to sharpen your soccer skills quickly? Do you want to increase the number of touches you get on the soccer ball? Futsal’s fast-paced game is not only fun but it requires players to build on their creativity and learn to make quick decisions. Join us March 13-17 or March 21-24 and walk away with better techniques that you can apply to the soccer field!

It was three days filled with incredible skills, dedication, and perseverance. The level of competition was extremely high, as the West division of United Futsal continues to produce some of the best futsal in the country. Many of our teams competed in the finals on Sunday, December 18th, while also enjoying the World Cup Final on the big screen at the Expo Center.

Despite the rainy and gloomy weather, the players showed off their Rapids spirit, cheering on other CRYSC teams in between their own games. In San Jose, five out of ten teams took 1st place in the finals, four in the gold division, and one in the bronze division! Congratulations to our teams and players for putting in some fantastic performances. Off the courts, the players continued to build strong team bonds, making amazing memories all weekend long.

CRYSC College Game Day Events offer members of our various regions, levels, and age groups the opportunity to compete in front of college coaches around the country! Throughout the year, the CRYSC College Placement Program will continue to provide additional opportunities for players to learn about the college recruiting process, collect game film and interact with college coaches. Follow the link below to check out photos from the day!

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 through the link below!
