Rush Prep Academy

1St & 2nd Graders

Welcome to year 2 of the Kansas Rush Prep Academy, formally known as the Intermediate Academy. This program is now an invitational only program. Players are invited to participate based on their passion, skill, and dedication to training. We have a number of different ways to evaluate our players for this program, such as: free Rush Prep Clinics, team practices, and game evaluations. If you would like to participate in the Rush Prep Academy this fall 2025, please email mbickmore@kansasrush.com for a free evaluation. Since this program is seasonal, we are only asking for spring commitments at this time.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING STAFF

Mitch Bickmore is our new full-time Director of Player Development and Director of the Rush Prep Program. Coach Bickmore started working for the Olathe Soccer Club/Kansas Rush in 2001 until 2008. He then moved to Virginia serving as the Youth Director for the Virginia Legacy for two years. Following his time with the Virginia Legacy, coach Bickmore worked and coached for other clubs in New Jersey, Colorado, and Utah. He also spent a year working as the Technical Director for India Rush in Mumbai. Coach Bickmore has his "A" License with the United States Soccer Federation, as well as his Advance National Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and National Youth License as well. It is unheard of to have a coach with these credentials working with this age group and that is why we believe the Rush Prep Program will be a great success. We are excited to have coach Bickmore back with Kansas Rush and are even more excited that he has chosen to work with our youngest age group of players, while also helping to develop our younger coaches within the club.
