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 Rush Soccer clubs 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.
The first step for being a part of Rush Select is attending one of the four Regional Rush Cup & Showcase events to be seen by the Rush Select Scouts. Each event is designed to be a tryout of sorts where you are encouraged to attend with your entire team. Individuals are allowed to sign up too but each Rush Cup & Showcase is really a team event. This is designed this way so the Select staff can see the players perform their best in the most natural environment.
