We are excited to announce that beginning Fall of 2010, St. Vrain FC will be offering an in-house recreational league for the U9/U10 age group in addition to the Interleague and Option 1 that is currently offered. This move allows St. Vrain FC to better serve players at that age group, and it gives those players more options and choices to choose the team which will best suit their needs.
What is the In-House Rec League?
The in-house recreational league is for players and families who are interested in playing soccer for fun, and not traveling to other cities to play games. All games will be played in Longmont at either Sandstone Ranch or Longmont Estates Elementary, and all games will be played against other St. Vrain FC in-house rec teams.
*** If there are not enough teams to field an in-house rec league, these teams will join the Interleague "C" league ***
What is interleague?
Interleague is a recreational league run by the City of Westminster which puts north area rec teams against rec teams from other clubs. Interleauge is for players and families who are more committed to practicing more often and traveling to games. Interleague is for players and families who have ambitions of playing at a more advanced level at the U11 and above age groups, and once they get to High School soccer. All interleague teams play their home games in Longmont, while away games will be played in Boulder, Westminster, Broomfield, Lafayette, Golden, Arvada, and Northglenn. There are 3 levels of interleague which are based on perceived skill of the team: A, B, and C. Coaches get to choose which level would best suit their team.
What is option 1?
Option 1 is for U10 teams, and is a recreational league run by Colorado Youth Soccer which puts St. Vrain FC rec teams against other rec teams around the State. This is for the most committed players and families, as travel can extend all the way to South Denver, Colorado Springs, and Vail. Option 1 is for players and families who have ambitions of playing at the highest levels possible as they continue to progress and get older as soccer players. There are 3 levels of Option 1 which are based on perceived skill of the team: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Coaches get to choose which level would best suit their team.
Once again, we are very excited to offer St. Vrain FC members more choice as to which level their son or daughter can play. We want every player to love the game of soccer, and we know this means different things to different players. As long as the players are playing at a level which they are comfortable and can excel, we are providing them the best chance to fall in love with the game.
