Competitive RC South

Competitive soccer is designed for dedicated and determined players starting at U11 who seek the benefits of a) a paid coaching, b) earned playtime, and c) training and competing alongside other driven and talented peers of similar abilities. This program offers both enjoyment and developmental opportunities for those committed to excelling in the sport.

Competitive players train regularly to develop soccer skills and training habits that will enable them to acquire a sense of mastery and competence (with a focus on long-term rather than short-term development), and to compete successfully in inter-club competitions. When a player becomes part of Real Colorado’s competitive soccer program, they begin a journey that ultimately not only strengthens their game, but also teaches the life skills of teamwork, dedication, friendship and being part of a supportive community.
