Roaring Fork United (RFU) is committed to providing players a fun, positive, and secure environment to learn and enjoy the game of soccer. The club’s Transgender / Nonbinary Policy is split between RFU sanctioned activities and Colorado Soccer Association (CSA) sanctioned activities. 

RFU Sanctioned Activities
RFU sanctioned activities include any camps, clinics, leagues, and programming that are run solely by the club. This includes summer, winter, and in-season camps, as well as our internal recreational leagues. 

Families are able to register their player for the gender team/program with which the player identifies via the club’s sports registration system. We ask that families also reach out to the Director of the program to make them aware to assist with the placement of the player and create the best and safest playing environment.

CSA Sanctioned Activities
RFU will follow the guidelines from USYS/US Soccer for state league and CSA sanctioned activities which include, but are not limited to, 11U-19U Advanced League programming, and any recreational programming that participates against other clubs through CSA sanctioned events.

Per U.S. Soccer and United States Youth Soccer:
For the purposes of registration on gender-based amateur teams, a player may register with the gender team with which the player identifies, and confirmation sufficient for guaranteeing access shall be satisfied by documentation or evidence that shows the stated gender is sincerely held, and part of a person’s core identity. Documentation satisfying the herein stated standard includes, but is not limited to, government-issued documentation or documentation prepared by a healthcare provider, counselor, or other qualified professional not related to the player. 

The medical documentation should be shared with your program director and uploaded into the player’s GotSport profile (this information and file upload is encrypted) or sent to Colorado Soccer Association directly.
