Why Rush?

We know there are many reasons parents and players choose to join a competitive youth soccer program. From experiencing success and enjoyment in the local rec soccer program to just being one of those soccer families with parents who enjoyed the sport in their youth, we understand the draw to the soccer world. In Central Iowa, there are several competitive youth soccer organizations to choose from so what makes Iowa Rush and the Rush Soccer program so special? While we encourage you to own research, here are our top 6 reasons families chose to join Iowa Rush.

  • Standard of Success

    At Iowa Rush, we provide opportunities to players to challenge themselves against top teams in the state and around the midwest. Iowa Rush Select teams have won a number of state and regional tournaments and we couldn't be prouder of their success!

  • Quality Staff

    Iowa Rush prides itself on attracting and continuing to develop dynamic, educated, and caring youth soccer coaches. Iowa Rush coaches have played at a high level and are involved in promoting soccer within our community at every age - from Kicks 4 Kids to high school and beyond. When not helping develop Iowa Rush players, you can find our coaches developing soccer programs at both high schools in Ankeny. Needless to say, we care deeply about the development of the game!

  • Memories That Last a Lifetime

    Our players create memories in season at team trainings, games, and tournaments and in the off-season with team bonding activities, winter training, and additional playing opportunities.  We also provide the opportunity to attend special events like Rush Fest, an International Trip, or various college showcases.  

  • Player Development Pathways

    Unique to the Iowa Rush Select Program are our player pathways. Through Rush Soccer, Iowa Rush players have guest playing opportunities with State Cup teams, ECNL teams, and other Rush clubs across the nation. 

  • Professional Environment

    Iowa Rush provides a professional environment by having an office location within Ankeny where all coaches and staff assemble to create, implement, and sustain a training philosophy and methodology.  The fields are professionally maintained for all Select games and training sessions as well.  Lastly, the administrative staff has enough experience and knowledge of the youth soccer landscape to position the club as a leader in the industry for years to come.

  • Global Soccer Community

    When you join Iowa Rush, you’re not just joining a local club; you're uniting with over 110 Rush clubs worldwide. As part of this global network, Iowa Rush players gain unique opportunities that go beyond the field. From training at elite European academies and competing with fellow Rush players across the country to professional networking opportunities as alumni, Rush opens doors that smaller clubs simply can’t.
