General Information

The Academy program was formed to provide the Club's recreational and competitive soccer players the opportunity to receive soccer skills training from a professional trainer. Academy training sessions are in addition to the training a player does with his or her recreational or competitive team, and the goal of the program is to provide a solid foundation of individual skills that will lead to greater success and enjoyment on the soccer field.

The Olathe Rush academy program emphasizes soccer skills to beat opponents in 1v1 situations and developing superior ball control under pressure. We will be working heavily on learning new fakes and feints to use while playing 'head on' with opponents. Ultimately, our goal is that by the end of each Academy season that all players will have developed a very solid set of skills and the confidence to use them in pressure situations.

Participation in the Rush Academy program helps to bring out the individual talent and develop the character in your son or daughter, helping them to unlock his/her fullest soccer potential. Academy participants train and compete alongside others who share a similar desire to grow and develop into outstanding young soccer players. 

Any recreational or competitive player in the U6, U7, U8, U9, U10 age group, is eligible to participate in the Olathe Rush Academy program. All training sessions will be conducted by an experienced, professional Kansas Rush staff coach.
