STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4
VISION QUALITY PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION, AND INSPIRATION THROUGH THE SPORT OF SOCCER. CORE VALUES - TO PROVIDE QUALITY STAFF WHO CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE YOUNG ATHLETES TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL IN THE SPORT OF SOCCER - TO PROVIDE QUALITY FACILITIES WHERE TALENTED YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS ARE ABLE TO MATURE AND REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL - TO FULFILL CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY BY ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES - TO ENCOURAGE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT ALLOWING OUR ATHLETES TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS - TO PROVIDE A PATHWAY FOR YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, OR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND THROUGH IDENTIFICATION, TRAINING, AND COMPETITION. - TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS LEARN IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS TIME MANAGEMENT, CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY, SELF CONFIDENCE, RESPECT FOR OTHERS, PROPERTY, AND DIVERSITY - TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE OPEN HONEST COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAFF AND PLAYERS/PARENTS IS ENCOURAGED - TO PROVIDE A STRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENT WHERE WINNING IS IMPORTANT BUT PLAYER DEVELOPMENT IS PARAMOUNT. THE COLORADO RAPIDS SOCCER ACADEMY PROVIDES A COMPLETE STRUCTURE THAT SERVES EVERY TYPE OF PLAYER. FROM FOSTERING GRASSROOTS INTEREST IN THE GAME THROUGH CAMPS AND DEVELOPMENTAL SOCCER TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF TRAINING FOR THE ASPIRING PROFESSIONAL, THE RAPIDS SOCCER ACADEMY IS DEDICATED TO GROWING THE GAME AND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN IT. COLORADO YOUTH SOCCER TEAMS - THE ART OF DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE TRAINING AND COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PLAYERS LIES IN KNOWING WHICH KIND OF PRACTICE AND COMPETITION THE PLAYER IS READY FOR AT ANY STAGE OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DEVELOPMENT. IN AN EFFORT TO RECRUIT, EDUCATE AND PREPARE ELITE PLAYERS FOR OUR MOST COMPETITIVE TEAMS THE RAPIDS ACADEMY WILL FIELD COLORADO YOUTH SOCCER TEAMS IN THE UNDER 11 THROUGH UNDER 17 AGE GROUPS. DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY - IN AUGUST OF 2007 THE RAPIDS SOCCER ACADEMY WAS ACCEPTED AS A CHARTER MEMBER OF U.S. SOCCER'S DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY. THE DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY'S TOP PLAYERS THROUGH HIGH TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND A FOCUS ON MEANINGFUL COMPETITION. THE COLORADO RAPIDS U16 AND U18 DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY TEAMS WERE FORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER'S 2007 HOMEGROWN PLAYER INITIATIVE. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A PROGRAM FOR EACH PLAYER THAT WILL ALLOW HIM TO REACH HIS FULL POTENTIAL, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR PLAYERS COLLEGE SOCCER WILL BE THE PINNACLE OF THEIR CAREERS, BUT A SELECT FEW WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAY BEYOND THAT LEVEL. MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER NOW ALLOWS CLUBS TO CREATE A CLEAR PATH FROM AMATEUR SOCCER TO THE PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE WHILE RETAINING THE RIGHTS TO THE PLAYERS THAT THEY HELP DEVELOP. THE ACADEMY'S TOP PLAYERS IN EACH AGE GROUP WILL BE IDENTIFIED AS HOMEGROWN PLAYERS AFTER SPENDING 12 MONTHS IN THE PROGRAM. A HOMEGROWN PLAYER WHO IS TALENTED ENOUGH TO PLAY IN MLS WILL NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIGN A GENERATION ADIDAS CONTRACT FOR HIS HOMETOWN CLUB AND NOT BE PLACED IN THE MLS SUPERDRAFT. EVALUATING PLAYERS FOR THE DA TEAMS IS A YEAR LONG PROCESS. WE SCOUT LEAGUE GAMES, HOST LOCAL AND REGIONAL EVALUATION SESSIONS, WATCH HIGH SCHOOL GAMES AND BRING PLAYERS IN TO TRAIN WITH OUR CURRENT TEAMS. THE PROCESS CONCLUDES WITH A FINAL TRYOUT IN JULY. INITIAL ROSTERS WILL BE SET AFTER THIS TRYOUT, BUT THE ACADEMY MAY ADD PLAYERS AT ANYTIME DURING THE YEAR. TRAINING FOR THESE TEAMS BEGINS IN NOVEMBER AT THE COMPLETION OF HIGH SCHOOL SEASON IN THE FALL. DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY TEAMS WILL TRAIN A MINIMUM OF THREE TIMES PER WEEK AT DICK'S SPORTING GOODS PARK. THE DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY SEASON BEGINS WITH LEAGUE GAMES IN NOVEMBER AND ENDS WITH THE ACADEMY FINALS IN JULY. REGISTRATION, COACHING, REFEREE AND FACILITIES FEES, AS WELL AS UNIFORMS, ARE PROVIDED BY THE ACADEMY FOR THESE PLAYERS. ACTUAL TRAVEL COSTS AND COLLEGE PREPARATION FEES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH PLAYER. CENTER OF EXCELLENCE - THE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE WILL ENSURE THAT MORE YOUNG PLAYERS ARE EXPOSED TO QUALITY COACHING AND MADE MORE AWARE OF THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN ELITE SOCCER PLAYER. THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF THE COE IS TO INTRODUCE AND PROMOTE PLAYER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TECHNICAL TRAINING AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNIQUE AS IT APPLIES TO THE GAME. ALTHOUGH INCLUSIVE, IT IS STILL DESIGNED TO NURTURE THE ADVANCING SERIOUS PLAYER. CAMPS/CLINICS - WE HOLD CAMPS AND CLINICS TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AGE AND ABILITY APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTION, REGARDLESS OF PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, CAMPS RANGE FROM BEGINNER LEVEL DAY CAMPS TO ELITE LEVEL CAMPS IN WHICH PLAYERS ARE EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVEL COACHING IN PREPARATION FOR COMPETITIVE SOCCER. JUNIOR ACADEMY - THE COLORADO RAPIDS JUNIOR ACADEMY AND THE COLORADO FUSION SOCCER CLUB HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE A GREATER YOUTH DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE. THE COLORADO FUSION SOCCER CLUB HAS ASSUMED ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP AND ALL REGISTRATIONS AND QUESTIONS SHOULD BE PROCESSED THROUGH THE COLORADO FUSION WEBSITE.
