We are continuing to look at our past as we prepare for the future! As more players and families continue to engage with the game of soccer, Iowa Rush has stayed at the forefront of creating more opportunities for every player. Development doesn’t happen overnight and we’re committed to providing year-round pathways for players of all levels. Iowa Rush programming has evolved to include consistent winter training for select teams, winter session options for younger ages, the creation of our fast-paced 4v4 Premier Challenge League (PCL) along with individual/small-group training designed to support player growth. We’ve grown our summer camp offerings, including the addition of an overnight residential camp and continue to invest countless hours creating and refining curriculum across all programs. Our Kicks for Kids program has expanded to be offered four times per year, giving our youngest players more chances to fall in love with the game. For our 11U-12U select teams, we’ve introduced Midwest Festivals, welcoming Rush clubs from across the region for winter competition. And in 2022, our partnership with Vision Soccer Academy led to the creation of VSA Rush, offering top-level players access to national leagues while still competing locally and statewide. #HonoringOurRoots. #BuildingfortheFuture.

Since 2009, Iowa Rush has intentionally grown our staff and operations to support the increasing number of players in our sport. Over the past 17 years, more than 15,000 players have experienced Iowa Rush programming and developed a love for the game. We have grown to include locations in Waverly, Pella, and work in partnership with VSA in the Waukee community and Apex in the Warren County area. We are proud to support our communities by participating in local events such as elementary school fun nights, parades, and trunk-or-treats. Many of our club coaches also serve on local high school soccer staffs, helping raise the soccer standard and further the game for players throughout our communities. Our investment in players goes beyond the field. We believe in mentoring the next generation of coaches, creating pathways for Iowa Rush alumni to begin their coaching careers. Over the last 10 years, we’ve hired over 25 Iowa Rush alumni as coaches, including 11 on our current staff. These individuals have lived our club culture and now bring those experiences back to our current players. Alongside our alumni, our staff includes former college coaches, coaches with international backgrounds, and club coaches who bring a wide range of perspectives and expertise. Supported by an administrative team with 30+ combined years in the soccer industry, Iowa Rush remains a state leader rooted in stability, growth, and opportunity. #HonoringOurRoots. #BuildingfortheFuture.
