Greetings Colorado United Families, It is with great pleasure, and also sadness, that I write this message regarding staffing changes within the club. Sadly our Competitive Girls Program Director, Stu Sinclair, is leaving us at the end of this weekend. During his two spells with us, Stu has overseen many of our most successful programs as our Recreational Director, such as the school outreach program, TOPSoccer, HRSA, and managing winter and summer camps. He eventually moved into the Competitive side where he has overseen the Girl's program including the successful transition into the DPL and now the Girls Academy league. He also served on the Recreational Committee at CSA. His contribution as a highly respected team member, mentor, and friend will be greatly missed - not least his sense of humor. Throughout his tenure, Stu always approached everything with a smile, a positive attitude, and brought an unwavering professional perspective. Stu is moving into a new role with Skyline SA as Director of Operations. He will be greatly missed, however, we truly wish him the best in his new role. As sad as it is to lose an esteemed employee, change provides opportunities. We are excited to welcome Rafa Amaya to the club and also the return of Tito Ward in a full-time capacity. Rafa has long stood in Colorado soccer circles for many years. He has played & coached professionally, served as a U.S. Youth National Team assistant & scout, a U.S. Soccer coaching educator, and a H.S. Director with Colorado Storm. Rafa will be the U15-19 Boys & Girls Director of Coaching. This role will include coaching an EA and GA team while overseeing the Competitive teams below the Academy level and supporting the team head coaches. Rafa’s experience and expertise will be instrumental in helping our players pursue playing soccer in college and developing our competitive coaching staff.
