The COMPETITIVE BRANCH is divided into three divisions, Youth, Juniors, and Seniors. The Youth Division is for players from U11-U12. The Juniors Division is for players from U13-U15. The Seniors Division is for players from U16-U19. There is a Nike Team (first team) and a Swoosh Team (second team) in each age group.  This level is referred to as Academy. All other teams formed are called Advanced teams. Whichever the case, players have made a decision to play competitive soccer and are placed based upon their passion and ability. 

COMPETITIVE PROGRAM SUMMARY

Our Competitive Branch exists to allow any player, irrespective of ability, the opportunity to take their game to the height of their potential. Players play with other players of like-ability with various levels of commitment throughout. The higher the level, the greater the commitment. The Rush believe in striving for excellence and as players progress, they are constantly put in new situations to provide a greater challenge if indeed that is what the player desires. For our top players their goals include playing on the Nike team, ODP state teams, regional teams, national teams, college teams, professional teams, etc. For our club, we want to push our players to "the next level". This "next level" may be different for every player. 

Rush is proud of its traditions of taking young and talented players to the next level. Some of the players that the club has helped grow and develop are now part of our national or professional teams in the country and/or around the world such as Aleisha Cramer, Wes Hart, Mark Lisi, Brian Mullan, and Connor Casey to name a few.
