Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club Castle Rock
Castle Rock, Colorado
About
Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club Castle Rock is the Douglas County–focused regional arm of CRYSC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs youth soccer across the Colorado Front Range. The Castle Rock region serves families in Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Douglas County, Elizabeth, Franktown, Highlands Ranch, Larkspur, Lone Tree, Monument, Parker, Colorado Springs, and nearby communities, with programming that mirrors the wider club’s age-band structure while keeping training and games anchored in the south metro.
What the club offers
Recreational soccer runs from 4U through 19U, including 4U Soccer Start, 5U–8U, 9U–10U, and 11U–19U recreational bands. Rising Rapids covers 8U–10U as a bridge into more structured play. Competitive programming spans 8U–19U with 11U–14U and 15U–19U competitive tracks plus 13U–19U EAL and DPL options for this region, so older players can pursue higher-commitment league pathways without leaving the CRYSC system. Soccer camps and a Castle Rock camp slate sit alongside year-round league play, and families can follow regional field status when weather affects turf and grass sites.
Where teams train and play
Castle Rock operations rotate through local parks and school-adjacent venues such as Bison Park, Douglas County Fairgrounds, Founders Park, Mitchell Gulch Park, Philip S. Miller Park, Rhyolite Park, World Compass Academy, and Wrangler Park, with turf-and-grass status refreshed as sites open or close. That rhythm helps families plan travel inside Douglas County and the immediate south Denver corridor.
