U11-U12 Player Pathway

The Youth Academy is designed for players ages 8–12 aiming to join the Junior Academy, with a focus on individual development and building confident, skilled players. No tryouts are required—players simply register for placement. Families are invited to a Kickoff Camp in May to experience the program and meet the coaches.

All-Inclusive Value: Unlike other clubs, Rush offers one all-inclusive price covering competitive seasons, camps, and more—giving you more for the same cost as seasonal-only programs elsewhere.

Tryout Process

Formal Tryouts

Every year, Colorado Rush holds formal tryouts from late May to early June. The tryouts are primarily aimed at new players, U11 players, and current competitive Rush players looking to switch teams. While we do our best to measure an athletes technical and tactical abilities along with their physical and psychological attributes we recognize a tryout period does not allow us to fully rate players accurately. For these reasons, existing players will be observed throughout the entire year by their team Head Coach and Director of Coaching (DOC) at training sessions and games. They will then be consequently placed more accurately within the Colorado Rush system.

Year-Round opportunities

Players interested in joining our competitive teams don't have to wait for formal tryouts. We offer opportunities to trial with a team throughout the year. This allows potential new members to demonstrate their skills and find the right team fit outside the traditional tryout schedule.

By providing both structured and flexible entry points into our competitive program, Colorado Rush ensures that all players have the chance to join and excel in an environment that matches their soccer ambitions and skills.
