What happens in high school?

We want to make it clear that when your player reaches High School, his/her Rush Career is NOT over!  The high school age is still a crucial time for development. While we encourage players to play for their high school, we also recognize that it is difficult to continue development in the high school soccer setting as teams are constantly chasing results and games thus resulting in little training as training is mostly used for recovery between games. So, what does this mean? During their Rush season players will still play in either the MAYSA or State League in addition to 2 tournaments.

Boys (Wisconsin and Minnesota Residents) - When your player is in 8th grade, they will finish through June of the spring season with Rush. They will attend Rush tryouts in June for their 2024 Spring Rush season.  They play their High School soccer season from Mid Aug-Mid Nov 2023. They can then choose to participate in our winter training program once high school finishes.  If they play another winter high school sport, they do not have to do winter training, it is up to them.  Their Rush season will begin in March 2024 through June 2024.  The cycle will repeat, starting with tryouts again in June 2024 for their 2025 Spring season.

Summary

• You are only paying for 1 Rush season with the option of adding winter training
• You are only traveling for 1 season
• Your player is getting closer to being able to drive and they will soon be able to take themselves to training and games 

*No team offers until will be given to families with past due accounts*
