We love when parents send us awesome stories of Colorado United players. From Daniel Heck (parent at Colorado United) "I thought I would share that two 2014B Competitive players were recognized at an all-school assembly at Ford Elementary this morning. Chase Burke and Braden Heck were awarded the Act Respectively award for the 5 th grade. United is not only developing great athletes, but even better young men." Chase plays on the 2014 Boys Academy Blue team coached by Will Vint and Braden plays on the 2014 Boys Silver team coached by Morton King-Grubert. Another example of how our organization is "Developing Players For Life." Thank you for sharing this story and we look forward to seeing what other amazing things Braden and Chase achieve in the future.
