Basecamp Kickers | Youth Soccer Academy

The Basecamp Path

Every Climb Starts at Base Camp

A structured path of progression, so every camper — not just the fastest ones — grows in skill and confidence.

Basecamp Kickers is a youth soccer academy for ages 3–12, built on structured coaching, a clear path of progression, and a community that shows up for every kid.

Our coaching team brings years of experience from Colorado Nepal Youth Club (CNYC), a community program established in 2015, into a focused, age-appropriate soccer curriculum.

We keep things simple: portable goals, cones, and balls — no travel required. Just great coaching, close to home.

Trailhead · Ages 3–5

Balance, coordination, and first touches.

Switchbacks · Ages 6–8

Ball control and small-sided games.

Summit Push · Ages 9–12

Tactics, competition, and leadership.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How are age groups decided?

Campers are grouped by age and skill level into three stages: Trailhead (3–5), Switchbacks (6–8), and Summit Push (9–12), so training always matches where your camper is developmentally.

How do I know if my kid is ready?

If your child is 3 or older and excited to run around with a ball, they're ready. Our Trailhead stage is designed specifically for first-timers — no prior experience needed.

What should my camper bring?

Comfortable athletic clothes, cleats or athletic shoes, a water bottle, and a lot of energy. We provide all training equipment.

Do you offer make-up sessions?

Reach out to us directly if your camper needs to miss a week — we'll do our best to work with your family's schedule.

1. Voluntary Participation and Assumption of Risk

I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant identified in this registration. I voluntarily permit the participant to take part in youth soccer practices, drills, games, conditioning, and related activities operated by Basecamp Kickers LLC. I understand that soccer involves inherent risks, including running, falls, collisions, contact with players or equipment, weather exposure, uneven playing surfaces, strains, sprains, fractures, concussion, serious injury, illness, disability, and, in rare circumstances, death. I knowingly accept these risks on behalf of myself and the participant.

2. Health, Fitness, and Medical Information

I represent that the participant is physically able to participate, except for conditions disclosed in this registration. I will promptly notify Basecamp Kickers of any material change in the participant’s health, medication, allergy, or activity restriction.

To the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, I release and agree not to sue Basecamp Kickers LLC and its owners, coaches, employees, volunteers, contractors, facility providers, and agents for claims arising from the ordinary risks of participation or ordinary negligence. This release does not apply to conduct that cannot lawfully be released, including gross negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct. I agree to indemnify and hold the released parties harmless from claims caused by my or the participant’s failure to follow program rules or disclose relevant medical information.

5. Rules, Conduct, and Weather

I agree that the participant and accompanying adults will follow coach instructions, facility rules, sportsmanship standards, and safety requirements. Basecamp Kickers may suspend participation for unsafe or disruptive conduct and may cancel, postpone, or relocate sessions because of weather, field conditions, air quality, or other safety concerns.
