Missouri Rush Soccer Club
We also have a program for the youngest ages (4-8 year olds) called the Youth Development Academy. This academy teaches kids the fundamentals of the game while making it a fun and enjoyable experience that they can carry with them into the competitive side of club soccer. In 2015, Missouri Rush started the MRE (Missouri Rush Elite) Futsal Academy. The MRE's sole purpose is to provide the developmental tools for players to progress through the winter season. It's success proved that players are identifying Futsal as a key stepping stone in their development. We now offer summer programs as well. In 2016 Missouri Rush joined up with Former Gateway FC to provide exceptinal training and player opportunities to players on the Illinois side of the river. Working together, we have created Gateway Rush. Gateway Rush will be the southern Illinois Rush chapter. Both Missouri Rush and Gateway Rush will have player pools with over 1,700 kids totalling 125 teams immediately. Nationally, Rush offers a network of players and opportunities for players to play across the country. Current players have played with other Rush players in several tournaments both locally and internationally. Rush's Select National program puts the best players across the country together to form Rush Select teams to compete in events like the PDT tournament, Desert Classic, Disney Showcase, as well as international trips to Italy, Spain, Germany, and Sweden.
