Colorado Storm
Since 1967, Colorado Storm has proudly served over 80,000 players, becoming a cornerstone of the Colorado soccer community. With strong roots spanning the Front Range along the I-25 corridor—from Fort Collins to North Denver, South Denver, and Castle Rock—Storm has been a trusted provider of soccer in Colorado for decades.
In 2024, during our inaugural USLW season, Colorado Storm made history by finishing as Finalists in the National Tournament, proudly putting our club on the national stage. As we step into 2025, we’re excited to build on our rich history and the incredible journey paved by our women’s team. This year, we’re thrilled to expand our impact by bringing USL League Two and USL Academy teams to our Colorado Storm communities!
