Competitive Program
About the Competitive Branch
The Competitive Branch is divided into three divisions:
- Youth Division - U11-U12
- Juniors Division - U13-U15
- Seniors Division - U16-U19
There is a Nike Team (first team) and a Swoosh Team (second team) in each age group. This level is referred to as Academy. All other teams formed are called advanced teams. Whichever the case, players have made a decision to play competitive soccer and are placed based upon their passion and ability.

Our Competitive Branch exists to allow any player, irrespective of ability, the opportunity to take their game to the height of their potential. Players play with other players of like-ability with various levels of commitment throughout. Higher the level... greater the commitment. The Rush believe in striving for excellence and as players progress, they are constantly put in new situations to provide a greater challenge if indeed that is what the player desires. For our top players their goals include playing on the Nike team, Rush Select team, ODP state teams, regional teams, national teams, college teams, professional teams, etc. For our club, we want to push our players to "the next level". This "next level" may be different for every player.
Each age group progresses differently, and in Alaska we are unique in how we go about developing our players. To read about our Alaska Rush Youth Player Development Progression.
