Program Overview
Olathe Rush recreational soccer stresses the participation, enjoyment, sportsmanship, skill development, safety, and teamwork aspects of the game of soccer, rather than being a "win at all costs" program.
We offer the following programs:
- Junior Rush (U3-U5)
- Kindergarten - 2nd grade (U6-U8) Olathe Rush Recreational League
- 3rd grade - 12th grade (U9-U18) co-op recreational league, teams play in the Heartland Soccer Assoc League (please note high school girls do not have a Spring league and high school boys do not have a Fall league due to High School)
Our recreational teams are formed by the Olathe Rush staff and coached by parent volunteers using a "neighborhood" concept following the boundaries of the local school districts' elementary schools as closely as possible. All recreational teams will be coached by a parent volunteer. This parent must have a child on the team. If you are interested in coaching please email the Kansas Rush office staff, [email protected]. In the unlikely circumstance that no parent will volunteer, then the coach must be approved by our staff. We provide weekly training regimens in the form of video and instructions that can be printed by parent coaches to help in training.
Teams are created based on the player's birth month and year. Recreational players are also allowed to play by their "grade level". Please see age group cutoff chart on this page. To keep the spirit of the game and recreational format we ask that players only play on one recreational team per season. No player rostered to a competitive team will be allowed to play in our in-house league.
All recreational teams will play an 8 game season.
U6-U8 teams will play all their games at Lone Elm Soccer Park
U9-U18 teams will play in The Heartland League with their games primarily at Scheel's Overland Park Soccer Complex and Garmin Olathe Soccer Complex. A game or two is also possible at the Wyandotte Soccer Complex.
Player Registration
$85 per player (save money during early bird registration and late fees apply once we are in late registration) (team jerseys are included for U6-U8 and they get a new jersey each season, teams are required to wear the jerseys provided by Rush) (the U9 and older teams purchase their own jerseys)
Please note that players wishing to play by "grade" will need to register in the age group their DOB falls under. During the registration please note in the Request section to play by grade and note which grade. Please do NOT change DOB in the system to bypass.
