Fraud Notice

Rapids Academy is aware that certain individuals have been impersonating club staff via social media to solicit money for fake trials or contracts. To avoid this scam, please be aware of the following:

• Our staff will never NEVER use social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc) to recruit potential players or coaches

• We will NEVER charge or ask for money via Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, CashApp, cryptocurrency, etc.

• We NEVER send e-mails from a public email account such as Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If an email doesn’t not come from an official @coloradorapids email account, it is fake.

We only hold official Open Tryouts in the offseason and all communications about them will come only from the Rapids Academy official Twitter, Instagram, and website.
