COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

It is the intention at Rush Union Soccer to offer competitive players the opportunity to compete at the highest level possible. We believe in creating an environment that is challenging, both technically and tactically, and that stimulates the players to reach their highest potential and personal goals.

Fall Season: August- November

Spring Season: February- May

U8 Pre Academy
Rush Union Pre-Academy program is a unique opportunity for younger players to advance their soccer skills in a fun, safe, game oriented environment. Our Pre Academy is a 6 month program: mid August-mid November and mid February -mid May. Players train twice per week with our professional coaches.

Pre-Academy will help your child improve their motor skills, ball skills and self-confidence using fun-packed, small sided games. This is the ideal way for 7U and 8U players to enhance their progress and is the natural way for players to begin the transition into our Academy Program.

U8 thru U12 Academy
Our Academy program is an 8 month program designed to develop players (8U-12U) in a more structured and professional environment to give them the technical and tactical skills to prepare them for higher level competitive programs.

Our aim is to develop individual players for the long term and not compromise for victories in the short term. Soccer is a game of mistakes, we will allow our players to make them and learn from them. This is a vital part of development.

Pools practice at least twice per week and participate in preseason and postseason tournaments.

U13 thru U19 Select
The Select Program represents the highest level of club soccer available to players in the 13U age group and above. As an 8 month program, teams practice at least twice per week and participate in preseason and postseason tournaments.

Note: U19 is a fall only program.
