Pride Soccer Club

What Pride Soccer Club does

Pride Soccer Club is a Colorado-incorporated non-profit youth soccer organization founded in 1994 in Colorado Springs, operating as the longest-standing youth soccer club in the region and one of the largest in the state. The club serves approximately 4,500-4,800 players organized across 300-350+ teams, spanning a complete player development pathway from U4-U5 (Pride Cubs) through U16-U19 recreational and competitive tiers, Junior Academy (U8-U10), Competitive Soccer (U11-U19), ECNL Boys and Girls (U13-U19), ECNL-RL, Girls N1 (National 1 League), and a TOPSoccer inclusive program (Pride Panthers). At the apex sits Colorado Pride, a Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) semi-professional team competing in the Central Region Mountain Division.

The club does not operate a proprietary technology platform; registration, scheduling, and family communication run on PlayMetrics (third-party SaaS), while tournament management for the Pride of the Rockies runs on GotSport. Uniform distribution is handled through Soccer.com under an Adidas partnership. Coaching infrastructure includes a Technical Director, Director of Goalkeeping, and age- and gender-segmented Directors of Coaching, supported by USSF licensing pathways through United Soccer Coaches and KidSafe compliance. Subsidiary programs include Colorado Pride (WPSL) and Pride Panthers (TOPSoccer), and the club is affiliated with CSA, USYSA, USSF, USL, and FIFA.

Revenue mechanics rely primarily on per-player seasonal registration fees (recreational tiers at $115-$205/season), competitive-tier and elite-league fees, tournament team entry fees (Pride of the Rockies at $900-$1,050/team; Veteran's Cup at $425-$475/team), summer camps ($90-$250/player), futsal league ($675/team), Adidas uniform commissions, and sponsorship support from Scheels, Children's Hospital Colorado, King Soopers Community Rewards, and WPSL team sponsors. GTM is direct-to-consumer via online registration and seasonal tryouts, with distribution across a primary complex (Pride Soccer Complex) plus at least six recreational venues and venue partnerships with the U.S. Air Force Academy, UCCS, and Colorado College (Stewart Field) serving the WPSL team.
