Dear ALBION SC Boulder County Membership,

We are proud to announce that as we constantly strive towards strengthening our Girl’s soccer Pathway and elevating our local players, that we have been awarded a berth in Girls Academy ASPIRE for the 2026/27 season for ALBION SC Boulder County. 

GA ASPIRE will become our top girls pathway at ALBION SC Boulder County for 2026/27, supported by DPL, which will remain as a high-level step for players looking to develop into the GA environment. This aligns with our boys pathway in providing a two-tier national platform to our deep and talented player pools in Boulder County and the surrounding areas. Both groups will have an opportunity to compete in Regional Showcases and qualify for National Competitions throughout the year. 

All of these platform opportunities will be available to players competing in the 11v11 format in the following age-groups: U13 | U14 | U15 | U16 | U17 | U19. GA ASPIRE Conference assignment is currently TBD with more information to come shortly. 

As we continue to build our pathway, we are driven towards fulfilling our membership through the following:

• Strong and Sustainable Community Pillars: 

  • Developing a strong and sustainable girls soccer foundation in our community of Boulder County with the GA ASPIRE Pathway.

• Maximizing College Showcase Opportunities: 

  • Through regional and national GA ASPIRE events, players will have the opportunity to play in front of collegiate scouts against high-level competition from across the Western Region and the Country increasing national exposure. 

• Dedication to a High-Performance Experience:

  • Our platform teams will thrive with nationally recognized directors, coaches with high-level education and experiences with access to top facilities and the best resources to deliver a high-performance environment. 

• A Pathway to USL W: 

  • As one of the only clubs in the state to have a complete girls pathway supporting progress into the pre-professional women’s game, GA ASPIRE gives us a more competitive outlet to prepare players for the next-level. Players who go on to compete collegiately can keep their development going through the summer via competition in the USL W. 

• ALBION SC National Elite Program:

  • Being a part of a powerhouse national soccer club in ALBION SC, we will continue to provide playing avenues within the ALBION SC network including ID camps, domestic and international tournaments and access to expert resources in college pathway, nutrition and sports psychology.

As we tell our players, the path to development in our sport is never linear.  While the US Soccer landscape always presents us with twists and changes on an annual basis, credit is due to our players, families, coaches and leadership for navigating these changes with a growth mindset and continuing to build one of the most complete girls pathways in Colorado with year on year improvements.
