OUR MISSION
“As Iron Sharpens Iron,
So One Man Sharpens Another”
Proverbs 27:17
​
​​
Our team will be composed of players who aspire to play at the highest possible level; players who desire to sharpen each other daily and become better men; players who choose others before themselves. Our team is composed of excellent players with strong moral character. The mission of this team is to use soccer as a vehicle for building confident and capable men, who will be equipped to go out into the world and make it a better place. The vision of this program is to become the premier high school soccer program in not just Colorado, but the Rocky Mountain Region. This is done through seeking and fostering meaningful relationships, continually holding each other to high standards both academically and athletically, and through the commitment of placing the needs of others and the team before oneself. Our goal is to compete at a high level of soccer excellence, and also to inspire our community locally through exemplary behavior, performance, and servant leadership. Lastly, our soccer ambitions will be fierce, but will always subordinate to our pursuit of robust moral character.
