DRIBBLE, PASS, AND SHOOT! IS THERE A SESSION COMING CLOSE TO YOU?:

The Rapids' New York Life Dribble, Pass, and Shoot (DPS) program is underway for the 2001 season! DPS will be at several different locations this Saturday: Stenger Fields in Arvada, from 9 a.m. to noon; Founders Park in Castle Rock, from 1 - 4 p.m.; and at the Rapids' game in the Rapids' fun zone at Mile High Stadium, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Make sure your children come and join the fun! They could win the chance to compete nationally at MLS Cup 2001 with an all-expense paid trip for themselves and a parent.

The New York Life sponsored Dribble, Pass, and Shoot is a unique program that allows youth, ages 6-14, to test their skills locally, regionally and nationally in three different skill areas: dribbling, passing and shooting. For more information, call the Rapids' DPS representative Kim Johnson at 303.299.1574 or the hot-line at 1.888.MLS.9008.
