PRE-ACADEMY (Ages 7-8)

The Rush Pre-Academy program is designed for young players ready to build on the foundation developed in Mighty Mites. In this next stage, players continue to develop soccer movement, basic technical skills, and are introduced to the game in a team setting. Guided by the Rush Player Development Model, our Pre-Academy coaching staff meets players where they are—fostering growth, confidence, and a lasting love for the game.
For those who continue into our Competitive Academy, Pre-Academy provides an essential first step in learning the Rush Way and preparing for the next level. For players new to the sport or those exploring their interests, the program also supports growth in coordination, cooperation, and self-confidence—skills that extend far beyond the soccer field.
