Rush Select
What is Rush Select?
The Rush Select program is an international program in which Rush Soccer forms “all star teams” that are comprised of the top Rush players from all across the world. The program starts from age U13 and is available through a players career with Rush Soccer ending at U19. These teams attend various events, both in the US and internationally on a yearly basis. The players get to see new ideas, play with top talent, learn from new coaches and develop as a player in a way most across the country can not. The programs aim is to give the top players within Rush unique learning experiences that help them evolve as both a player and a person.
Philosophy
The Rush Select Program is designed to give extended opportunities to the elite-level players in Rush. Domestically it gives older players opportunities to be recruited at college showcase events and allows the younger players to compete against the best players in the country. There are international training programs and international tournaments of which both often include attendance to professional games including Champions League games. The long-term goal is to identify and put players in a competitive environment for the potential selection for a Rush men’s and women’s professional teams.
How Do I Join?
Players are scouted beginning at the Rush Fest with the U13 age group. We also take recommendations from each club’s Technical Director to form the pool of players for each age group. The U14 & U15 players will be scouted at the Centers to be selected for a regional team and then later a national team. U16-U18 players will be selected for a national first or second team. The pool of players is constantly evolving and players come and go as the team ages up. Making the Select team once does not mean a player will always be involved and players can be added to the pool at any time with a Technical Director or Scout recommendation.
