Overall, it’s been a pretty good year for the Colorado Rapids Development Academy. There are a number of promising players in the pipeline, Sam Vines and Cole Bassett signed with the senior team, all three youth teams from U15, U16/17, and U18/19 finished in the top four of their division and made the playoffs (the U15s were actually first in the Frontier Division of the Central Conference), and now the U12s have won the Generation Adidas Cup.
Fourteen MLS teams took part in the competition in Atlanta over Thanksgiving weekend.
