About Us
Harpos FC™ was established in 1997 as the Barrel House by CU-Boulder undergraduates Chris Hardin and Scotty Schuett. Johnny Freeston became good friends with the old school and joined as a player in 2005, took over managerial responsibilities in 2008 and built a new elite club starting in 2010. Johnny is Founder & Managing Director. Steve Lepper is Technical Advisor. We are blessed with dedicated and talented staff, players and fans. Harpos home fields are Williams Turf Field in Superior and Peak 2 Peak Charter School in Lafayette. We play in the Colorado Premier League, the most competitive league in the Centennial State. Our core players hail from 14 states, Argentina, Canada, England and Mexico with our average age being 25 years old. All of us have played college and semipro ball with some bros having played professionally in Argentina, Australia, England, Finland, Germany, Spain, Sweden, MASL, USL and MLS.
Our flagship sponsors are Capelli Sport, Left Hand Brewing Company and Peak Sports Travel. This current incarnation of Harpos is comprised of several stalwart players from the CU-Boulder Men's Club Team who won the NIRSA National Championship. We have won dozens of trophies including Breckenridge Tournament, Colorado Premier League & Community Shield, Copa Alianza Denver, CSA Super League, PASL Rocky Mountain Division, USSSA Colorado State Cup and Fred Ammer Vail Invitational Tournament. We are also 103rd and 104th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup 2nd Round Cinderella Story #bullshitpubteam. 2017 saw us win an historic "Quintuple" of trophies while taking on Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC USL and Mexico Men's National Team. 2018 was continued league dominance and a rebuilding process. 2019 saw our new look squad win “The Treble.” 2019-2020 we qualified for the 107th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with arguably our best squad ever but it got cancelled due to the Covid global pandemic. 2021 we accomplished our goal of bringing in the next generation of ballers and winning the league at 10-0-0. 2022-2023 saw our 2 teams win 5 leagues titles and progress exponentially with our strategic growth plan. We appreciate your continued passionate support in 2024 as we embark on our next epic run in all competitions including qualifying for U.S. Open Cup.
These triumphs have made us insatiably hungry for additional development and success which is why we offer First Team (FC), Over 30 Team (OG) and Women’s Teams (W Black and W Pink) opportunities. Our goals are to unite people from all walks of life, to give them an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves and to give back to our growing community. It's time to win every single scrimmage, game and tournament that we enter this year. We are always moving Onwards and Upwards!! #familycharacterexcellence #diversityequityinclusionbelonging #passionpurposeprogress
