The Front Range League(FRL) is offered for intermediate level soccer players. There are multiple divisions and is operated as a birth year league. The FRL is administered through Forge A.C.’s sanctioning body (Colorado Soccer Association) and it allows players to get a taste of travel soccer at a skill appropriate level. This tends to be for intermediate players, and parents that are ready to test run higher commitment to the soccer travel culture.
FRL runs in the Fall and Spring seasons. Although there are exceptions, the FRL generally involves travel between Boulder and Pueblo, for 4 weekends per season. FRL hosts our best athletes from a young age, and many choose to move into advanced league play after FRL participation.
