Background Statement
Incorporated in 1962, the Denver Kickers is the oldest soccer club in Colorado. In its early years before the rise of youth soccer, the club fielded men’s amateur soccer teams which competed all around the world and brought home more than 30 national and state championships.
Today, the Denver Kickers brings an exceptional, professionally run youth soccer program to Golden for more than 500 kids, ages 3-18, through three tiers of training:
• Kickers Kids – skills-based programming for kids ages 3-7
• Recreational Soccer – team-based play focusing on fun and further skill development for kids ages 8-10
• Competitive Soccer – intense training and game play, focusing on technique and tactics, offering the highest level of competition desired for kids ages 10-18.
Kickers Kids is an in-house program, while Rec and Competitive teams compete in several leagues established by the Colorado Soccer Association.
The Denver Kickers also hosts a men’s league during the spring and fall seasons, with more than 400 players participating in Over-35, Over-45 and Over-60 divisions.
