SINCE 2000, PEAK TO PEAK SOCCER HAS PROVIDED NEDERLAND AND THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES A RECREATIONAL YOUTH SOCCER LEAGUE!
We are a proud member of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), one of the largest nationwide soccer organizations. By being a member organization we embrace the mission to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment built on the foundations of everyone plays, balanced teams, open registration, positive coaching, good sportsmanship, and player development.
This late summer/fall program is geared toward teaching any young soccer fan basic skills with an emphasis on teamwork and while having fun. Practices take place on the Nederland Elementary School (NES) or Nederland Middle Senior High School (NMSHS) fields immediately after school for 1-2 practices per week lasting 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on the age. Games are played every Saturday against the other league teams from Clear Creek and Gilpin County. Peak to Peak Soccer was originally started by local parents with the intention of getting kids involved in soccer regardless of ability level and with the goal of teaching skills beyond how to win. Good sportsmanship, how to be a team player and positive role modeling by coaches and parents are a focus of the program alongside learning ball handling, soccer rules, and team dynamics.
Encouraging parental involvement is a key component of this volunteer run program. From coaching to hanging nets, providing concessions and prepping the fields for game days, parents are asked to play an active role in making the season a success.

We understand that some children want to and are able to play “up” a level. We leave this decision to parents and/or coaches. There will not, under any circumstances, be a reason why a child will play “down” a level. We feel strongly that “playing down” discourages the values we are trying to instill in our soccer program–learning the game and having a good time doing it!
