Winter is an interesting time with a variety of small-sided indoor events taking place. Most focus on U9-up teams, but there are options for younger players as well. Here are a few:

5-3-1 Challenge hosted by Coerver Colorado accepts U9 to U15 teams. This unique event is usually held Thanksgiving weekend.  Teams of up to 8 players play a series of 40 minute matches consisting of three segments: a 16 minute 5v5 game (with keeper), an 8 minute 3v3 game and a set of six 75 90-second 1 v 1 duels in a small space with short boards. For more information, go HERE.

Holidays in the Bubble hosted by Real Colorado accepts U7 to U13 teams. This 4 v 4 (no keeper) event is typically held between Christmas and New Year’s and takes place at the Sports Dome in Centennial. The facility has a full 11 v 11 size pitch which they divide up into 4 smaller fields for the tournament. There are no side boards.  For more information, go HERE.

Winter Indoor Classic hosted by Regis University is held across a number of different weekends in January (depending on the age group). The event accepts U8 and U9 rec teams for 4 v 4 (no keeper) on a smaller sport court. U10 and up play 5 v 5 (with keeper) on a larger sport court, but with a futsal ball. There are no side boards for either court.  For more information, go HERE.

COACHES PLEASE MAKE NOTE: Please be aware that few winter events have different skill level divisions.  For U11+, this means competitive and recreational teams will mostly likely be mixed together.  For U9 / U10, it means teams playing in FlatIrons League will be mixing in with U9 CrossQuad and U10 Option 1 teams.  While this should not discourage you from competing, you should set appropriate expectations with players and parents.
