CO Elevation FC – Annual Gear Drive
CO Elevation FC is a Colorado-based youth soccer club founded in 2015 (originally “Sugar and Spice Academy”) with a mission to develop athletes through confidence, fitness and agility, individual skill, teamwork, and emotional growth. Elevation is proudly player-centered—meaning players are supported as people first, not just athletes—through strong relationships with families and an environment designed to build character, resilience, and self-belief alongside soccer ability.
On the field, the club’s identity is rooted in possession-style soccer, encouraging smart decision-making, creativity, and leadership within a team-first game model. Elevation offers clear pathways from early development like the Explorers Program (ages 5–9) into competitive U11–U19 opportunities, including platforms such as EA League and NPL, plus additional training through TAP, camps, and strength & conditioning. For players aiming higher, Elevation also provides college advisory support and is expanding its long-term pathway with a WPSL platform beginning in 2026.

Why? – Teaming Up to Give the Gift of Soccer
Colorado Elevation FC is proud to partner with The Gift of Soccer Foundation in a meaningful initiative to collect and repurpose gently used soccer uniforms and gear. As a club that believes in responsibility both on and off the field, Colorado Elevation FC is taking action to ensure that no piece of equipment goes to waste—and that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to experience the joy of the game.
Through this gear drive, players and families are encouraged to donate cleats, uniforms, balls, and other equipment that may no longer be in use but still have so much to give. These donations will be sent to underserved communities around the world—bringing smiles, creating opportunities, and building the next generation of soccer lovers.
By participating in this initiative, Colorado Elevation FC is setting a powerful example of what it means to be a conscious, community-driven club—one that values sustainability, global impact, and the transformative power of sport.
Let’s change the world together—one jersey, one ball, one child at a time.
