About the provider
Pride Soccer Club was founded in 1994 and is described as serving youth for 30+ years. It is a non-profit soccer club with leadership that includes Heather Ward, Secretary and referee coordinator; Sharon Detter, club accountant; and Candy Brooks, Executive Director. The club is affiliated with CSA, USYSA, USSF, USL, and FIFA, and it is a member of Colorado Youth Soccer and US Youth Soccer. It says that since 1994, staff, players, and families have been giving back to Colorado Springs, and that it serves thousands of families each year in ways beyond soccer.
Recreational teams are formed by school or geographic area. Junior Academy and Competitive teams are formed through a placement process based on ability levels. Teams are formed based on age group and gender. Players are not allowed to play below their designated age group unless a doctor’s note is provided before each season. Returning players get first priority to return to a coach/team from the prior season. The club states there is not a team in every zip code in the Colorado Springs area and players are placed on the closest available team when needed.
