#Development
Recreational
Recreational soccer stresses the participation, enjoyment, sportsmanship, skill development, safety, and teamwork aspects of the game. The goal is for the players to learn and fall in love with the sport of soccer.
Our recreational teams are formed by Rush staff and coached by parent volunteers using a “neighborhood” concept following the Geographical boundaries of where you live or as closely as possible. All recreational teams will be coached by a parent volunteer. Rush staff will support this volunteer parent with coaching education tools and pre-made training sessions to ensure a great environment for the players.
