THE WPSL WELCOMES NEWEST COLORADO-BASED EXPANSION, FLATIRONS RUSH, FOR 2023 SEASON

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARVADA, Colo. (Feb. 15, 2023) - The Women’s Premier Soccer League announced today that Flatirons Rush will play its inaugural season with the league this summer as a 2023 expansion side.
 

“We are delighted to add the WPSL as an option for players in our club to compete at a very high level,” Joe Webb, Flatirons Rush president, said. “We have big long-term plans for the women's programming and this is an exciting chapter for us.”
 

For 25 years, Flatirons Rush has implemented a player-centered approach that has been backed with a national-level program and elite-level coaching to provide a positive playing and learning environment that fosters long-term player development and personal growth.
 

The club’s Technical Director, Merv Johnson, a good friend of WPSL Founder, Jerry Zanelli, was part of the league’s first Colorado-based team and is “looking forward to being involved with the WPSL again now that the league has a solid core of teams in Colorado.”
 

The league recently unveiled the official alignment for the 2023 season which places Flatirons Rush in the Central Region where it will compete within the Rockies Division of Mountain Conference alongside five other prominent Colorado-based clubs, including the Colorado Rapids Women – who reach the WPSL Championship last season before falling to the California Storm.
 

Scheduling will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
