Competitive Tryouts & Placement
Welcome to Colorado Rush North and thank you for your interest in our club.
We are holding tryouts for the 2026-2027 season on May 18th - May 20th. Walk ups are always welcome!
Although Colorado Rush North will complete Tryouts / Player placements for the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 season, after Memorial Day (May 27th-30th) we are always on the lookout for talented players who may be a great fit for our teams. If you believe you have the skills and drive to be part of our programming, we want to hear from you! Reach out today to explore additional training sessions or opportunities to get in front of our coaches.
If your talent and our team needs align, we’ll work to find the right spot for you in our program. Whether it’s through additional training sessions, 1-on-1 evaluations, Tryouts, or something else, we’re here to help you grow and succeed.

Player Tryouts: Why They Matter
Who should attend tryouts?
- New Players not currently registered with Colorado Rush.
- All Current CO Rush Players must attend the designated tryout times, as it is the final step in their evaluation process.
What is your evaluation criteria?
During tryouts, our coaching staff focuses on a range of attributes to determine each player’s suitability for different teams within the Colorado Rush framework. Here’s what we look for:
- Technical Abilities: Skills with the ball, including dribbling, passing, and shooting.
- Tactical Understanding: Awareness of game strategy, positioning, and decision-making on the field.
- Physical Attributes: General fitness, speed, agility, and endurance.
Psychological Factors: Mental toughness, attitude, teamwork, and the ability to handle pressure and adversity.
What if I can't make tryouts?
Interested in joining Colorado Rush but missed the tryouts? No problem! We offer open training opportunities where players can join practice sessions with existing teams. This allows both the coaches and you to assess the best fit for your developmental needs before committing to a team.
Do you have open training opportunities?
Any player who is interested in joining the Colorado Rush Competitive division can do so at anytime! There is no need to wait until tryouts. Players are invited to train with a Colorado Rush team in their respective age group to determine the best developmental placement for them.
