I often receive comments that the Pueblo Corinthians are the same as the previous PSSA /Pueblo Soccer. THEY ARE NOT! PSSA/Pueblo Soccer was registered with Colorado Youth Soccer as a Pueblo soccer club and was under the 501c3 of the Belmont Optimist Club of Pueblo. There is no Pueblo Corinthians registered with Colorado Youth soccer https://www.coyouthsoccer.org/club_links.html. They are under the 501c3 of the Corinthians Athletic Club of Colorado Springs and have a Pueblo office http://www.corinthianssoccer.com/clubs/522/pages/20597.
THEY ARE A COLORADO SPRINGS ORGANIZATION WITH A PUEBLO BRANCH.
On the other hand, the Pueblo Rangers Soccer Club is a Pueblo organization with its own 501c3 and are registered with Colorado Youth Soccer as a state soccer club https://www.coyouthsoccer.org/club_links.html. We are managed by Puebloans, staffed by Puebloans and our only office is in Pueblo. We are proud members of both the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce http://www.pueblochamber.org/content/business-directory and the Pueblo Latino Chamber of Commerce http://pueblolatinochamber.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=1&tmpl=component&format=raw&Itemid=14 . Each February, we bring the largest 2 day event to Pueblo each year, The Pueblo Rangers Sunbelt Classic Soccer Tournament, which brings in millions of dollars to the Pueblo economy.
I am not implying that the Corinthians is not a good organization but let’s be accurate and honest.
THE CORINTHIANS SOCCER CLUB IS A COLORADO SPRINGS ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A SATELLITE PROGRAM IN PUEBLO OFFERING SOCCER TO A SMALL GROUP OF PUEBLO CHILDREN.
