Competitive 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.

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 runs in conjunction with our Academy Program and 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. 

Academy
Our Academy program is designed to develop players (9U-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. For example, some coaches (and a great many parents) encourage younger players to play a long ball game because they are uncomfortable with their players under pressure at their own end of the field. This "long ball" philosophy is counterproductive to long term development. At Rush Union Soccer we allow our players to play from the back in order to keep possession. They will occasionally give up the ball and more goals may be scored on them in the short term, but they will be comfortable with the ball and technically more competent in the long 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.

Select 13U thru 19U
The Select Program represents the highest level of club soccer available to players in the 13U age group and above.

Rush Union Soccer teams compete in Southeastern Clubs Champions League (SCCL) at the Champions and Premier Division levels.  SCCL is part of US Club Soccer.
