Real is a nationally recognized soccer club filled with fun, winning, goals, and celebrations in a sport made for creating great memories of today & tomorrow.
About 6 months ago, we told you about Delaney & her fight vs Hodgkins Lymphoma. One month ago, unsure if the cancer was completely gone but with the encouragement of her doctors she bravely returned to the pitch. 1 week ago, she had a clean scan. So excited for you!!

Back in October, Real Colorado’s Delany McGowan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This weekend her team celebrated her first action just back 3 months later. Wow D, incredible!

Although
@sophsssmith
&
@jaehowell18
scored both goals against Lorne’s Jamaican side in the US U20 win, they are still Real family. We are very proud of all 3.

Real Colorado will be rejoining the girls ECNL for the Fall 2020/Spring 2021 season with not one, but two teams in each age group. That is awesome x2!
#ThisIsReal
We get to do what we love, we’re pretty good at it and tonight we are National Champions. Lived all the Tweets from our alumni, you set the bar.

We fondly refer to Real Colorado as a nation, but today we are pulling on the family side of Real. Please see the story on Delaney, a Real U17 player, and the journey she is set to begin. Do it for D🙂

How often can you say you have 2 players starting for the USWNT? I’m thinking it might be possible the answer is ALOT!!!

One of our members passed away yesterday due to the coronavirus.
Mr. Vasquez was a great dad, husband and supporter of his sons dreams to play soccer. Our hearts and prayers go out to Julio and the entire Vasquez family.
Please keep their family in your thoughts & prayers.
So 3 fields cleared with more volunteers than we ever could have hoped for. Many spending 4 hours of time pushing a shovel so we can host Utah in ECNL play. Thank you Real parents and friends!!

From east coast to west coast and nearly everywhere in between, our class of 2020 who had both the talent and desire to play collegiate soccer signed their NLI’s. What a great week for an amazing group of players and people.

She’s not smiling yet, but Real’s Juliauna Hayward had to be all smiles after being named captain of the US U15’s and her team winning 8-0 in the opening match of the
@Concacaf
Championships.

Remember a year ago? Delaney, off our ‘03 DA team was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After treatments and an all clear, the team was feeling much different as they celebrated a year anniversary from Delaney’s diagnosis yesterday.

#BiggerThanJustSoccer
While we recognize not all our players will have the ability and/or desire to play college soccer, yesterday we celebrated with our players that do. Congratulations Class of 2018. Make us proud and don't come back too soon. :)
Not a bad night!!! Our U13 boys won the USYS National Championship televised on ESPNU and Real Alumni
@sophsssmith
scored her first 2 goals in World Cup play in her first World Cup game. Yeah, totally amazing!!
#ThisIsReal
Sports connects people in ways those outside don’t always get to see & experience. What an amazing gesture of care and cheer from the
@SoccerNationals
U17’s in support of our own Delaney and her fight against cancer.

It’s not every day an Olympic gold medal shows up while you are training. So fun to see
@janinebeckie
and her well earned gold 🥇 saying hi to our U19’s - some who hope to have one of their own someday. Thanks for coming by!!
#ThisIsReal
The US 20’s aren’t the only country was a Real flavor! Congrats to
@MaliahAtkins
and
@loloreid
on representing Jamaica on their qualification run. Good luck and have fun!
#ThisIsReal
Thank you. It’s easy to say great game when you win, but the class your coach, players and families showed in a tough game was just as impressive as the standard
@FCDwomen
set on the field.
Congrats to our Colorado Soccer Coaches of Year! Rich Lloyd, Mimi Holt, Jack Lima, and Jen Sandoval. Loved having Real alumni (and 9news sports reporter) MC the night.
#ThisIsReal
Not a bad turn out to watch our girls DA and DPL teams scrimmage and train today. Thank you coaches for making a beautiful Colorado day more awesome!!
#ThisIsReal
Why this picture? Because we are only playing because we have incredible families who started showing up at 6:30 am and a complex that is ours and snow removal can take place.
#ThisReal
Congratulations Kate. We can’t wait to witness the amazing story you will write and are so grateful you picked Real for your soccer home!

U19’s final cheer. Bittersweet to say goodbye and yet to have made so many amazing memories. They won their final game 1-0 at the ECNL national championships with their only loss being in a shoot out.
