Aspen United Soccer Club teams currently play in two different leagues offered through Colorado Soccer Association (CSA). We also offer a U8-U10 Academy program which is recreational and does not offer games against teams outside the club. All academy games are 'in house. Typically, all teams playing both leagues offered by CSA play eight games. All teams in both leagues are also expected to play in at least one tournament during the season. Some teams play in two tournaments. There is an additional cost associated with playing in tournaments. 

Mountain Region League (MRL)

The majority of our teams compete in the MRL. MRL consists of teams located in the Roaring Fork Valley and the Western Slope. All U10 and U12 teams play against teams mostly within the Roaring Fork Valley and do not generally travel farther than Rifle.For U15 and U19 teams, travel can included trips to locations such as Telluride and Steamboat.

MRL provides competition in two different levels of play for each age group. 

Premier Division: This introductory level of competitive play is designed for those who want to develop their skills though better competition. Players are selected based on ability and skill level. Teams who participate in this division require more commitment with regard to traveling for games, a more demanding practice schedule, tournament schedules and expenses. This division will have promotion and relegation between fall and spring. Teams will be selected through application process ** Certified Referees Only

Developmental Division: This division is designed for players who enjoy the sport for the social aspect of the game while developing their skills through practice and games. Teams are formed through assignment of all interested participants to a team. Travel will be required. Teams are encouraged to participate in tournaments. 

In the fall season, Aspen United usually fields one team per division. In the spring season, AUSC usually only fields one team per division. 

Advanced State League

CSA Competitive leagues are composed of advanced teams participating at higher levels of competition. Within the Advanced League, there are three leagues with varying levels of competition: Colorado Champions League, Centennial League, and the Secondary League. 

The Colorado Champions League is an application-based league, the Advanced League Operations Committee determines placement. 

The Centennial League is comprised of teams that are placed by their clubs' recommendation. 

The Secondary League is a league for 8th graders who lose their teammates to the high school season, due to their age based on the new US Soccer birth year mandates. 

U8-U10 Academy

During the spring season, Aspen United offers an in-house recreation style program for U8's and U10's who are just developing players. U10's players with experience should play with U10 travel team. The Academy program meets three days per mid week. Two one hour sessions per week are practices and the remaining one hour session provides game opportunities against players in the academy program. Games are not played against other clubs.

Soccer Age Groups Are Determined By Birth Years. These are dictated and Determined by Us Soccer and CSA.

Please visit the Registration tab to find out more specific information about registering your child/children for the 2018 fall season. Fall registration opens June 12 and remains open through the start of the season. Pricing for registration increases on August 15.

Registration for the fall season will open during the first week of June and go through the first week in July. All registration deadlines are based on Colorado Soccer Association deadlines for registering teams.  Anyone applying for a scholarship will need to fill out on the online application form which will be made available when registration opens. Scholarship applications must include tax forms filed by both parents. All tax forms must be signed by both parents and the preparer. All scholarships are due by July 1.

All team practices will start on August 20. Our first games will be August 25-26. CSA /MRL begin games on August 18-19. ASUSC has requested no games until August 25-26. There are no games scheduled for Labor Day weekend unless a team manager chooses to reschedule a game for that weekend. Games can run through November depending on each team's schedule. Tournament weekends will be in Basalt October 6-7 and in Grand Junction October 27-28. These tournaments are in addition to the 8 regular season games (4 home and 4 away) that are played by each team. Tournament fees (75$ for Basalt and 125$ for GJ) are in addition to the registration fees. We are hopeful that each team attends at least one tournament though it is not mandatory.

Assessments for the 2018-2019 seasons will be held August 14-16. Assessments are mandatory for all players born 2004-2010 who will be playing on U10-U15 teams during upcoming fall and/or spring seasons. We have moved assessments from the normal late May/June date in order to increase participation by avoiding conflicts with all of the end-of-year school and activity commitments as well as lacrosse practices that go through the first weekend in June. We realize these new dates may conflict with summer plans. However, with no perfect time to hold the assessments within the CSA parameters, the club felt this was a better choice.  Assessments are necessary to determine player placements for Premier and Devo teams for each age group and gender. Assessments are NOT tryouts. All players will be placed on a team. Assessments will be held each day from August 14-16 at the following times:

U10 Boys and Girls 4-5 PM

U12 Boys and Girls 5-6 PM

U15 Boys and Girls 6-7 PM

U19 Girls and U19 Boys are not required to attend assessments.

The location of Assessments is TBD.  All players must come to a minimum of one assessment time but may attend all three days if they choose. If your child does not attend Assessments, they will be placed on a Devo team and evaluated during the first two weeks of the season.

Teams will be named on August 17

Practices begin on May 1. The last game is on May 25.
