Regional Showcase Teams

This was a great experience! The girls came together from clubs from several states and played high level, competitive soccer seamlessly! So much fun!

An amazing experience that every player should be able to have. You learn a lot of teamwork and communication skills outside your comfort zone but also have a great time and build new bonds with other players you’ve never met and played with before.

Not only was this weekend one of the best experiences in my soccer career, but it was filled with some of the best players around that made me more confident and built me up to play my best. I would totally go back to another one just to be around that same atmosphere, whether it is on the field showing my stuff to the college coaches or if I am talking with the team and coaches. I even enjoyed the meetings and getting to spend time with players from literally several different clubs. I will definitely be back for more!

This weekend was one of the most amazing and educational experiences. the group of girls that i got to play with were not only outstanding soccer players but genuine human beings. everyone was so welcoming and it made for an easy 3 days. coach joe did an excellent job coaching and provided some very useful information and offers to help as much as he can. i honestly could not have asked for any thing better. not to mention we were 3-0 and never played together before this weekend!!

This was a fantastic experience for our daughter. Although she was nervous at first, the Rush girls welcomed her with open arms and were incredibly kind. She loved the respect and tenacity shown by the players on the field, and she especially enjoyed how vocal the girls were and the direction they provided her. The autonomy given to the team to develop the line up and work together on substitutions was a unique experience that she won’t soon forget.

We had a great experience! Josh was a great coach/ host and we had a great time meeting families from the states. Keeping the cost down was a major plus. My daughter really enjoyed playing with girls from the other rush teams and making new friends. Thanks Josh for everything you do for the Rush club and hopefully we see a showcase in Hawaii soon!!

The weekend was great – our favorite soccer of Fall 2020! I appreciated that the agenda was so much more than just show up for games. The morning team workouts and nutrition talk made an impact on Maren, even though we’ve been telling her the same thing as parents for years 🙂 I think it resonates more when it comes from a college coach. Joe’s recruiting conversation with parents and players was helpful, as well. Covid affected team outings and social gatherings, but we still had fun. We’ll definitely be doing another showcase weekend in the future. We’re looking at schools outside our club’s geographical and regular travel tournament area, and this was a fun, cost-effective way to be seen by those schools.

I love how the unique thing about Rush is that we can bring together players we don’t even know and still be able to mesh as a team and get to know each other

I appreciated the way the coaches let the players shine. Rush coaches do such a great job teaching the Rush way in each club, that when kids get to showcases like this, it’s amazing how quickly they come together when some of them have never met before. The coaches kept things positive and fun, and the girls worked hard and came together as a team and really made Rush proud!!

Thank you Josh, and coaches, for the past weekend, your commitment to Rush, and our players, was evident in the passion and professionalism you put into this showcase event, it was a great experience!

So great to see this group of girls start out as strangers, become a team, and then friends all in the course of less than 48 hours. I’ve seen teams less bonded after years together. Looking forward to the next Showcase.

I fell in love with the game of soccer again this weekend after playing with such a talented group of girls and playing at the most competitive level. My teammates from all over the country became my friends on the first day. I made so many great memories this weekend and really enjoyed the coaching staff.

The girls had a great coach. Was amazed how a group of girls from multiple states meet a couple hours before the first game then go out and play all weekend like a team that has been playing together for years. Very well organzied weekend with all details worked out in advance

This weekend was by far the most fun I’ve ever had with soccer. Having motivating players and a coach really plays a big part in the self confidence when you have the ball at your feet. I would recommend 100% to anyone!

This was a fantastic weekend. Bringing kids together from all over the country to play a game they love and get college exposure is amazing. We had a wonderful time watching the kids play. We are looking forward to the next trip already. Also, Josh getting an extra game for the girls to play was an added bonus. This is a great program and I hope it continues for years to come!!!

It was great to watch girls from six states come together on the field and play as a team. Thanks coaches and parents!

I had a lot of fun getting some touches and getting to know new people. I love getting to meet and play with people from different rush clubs. It is cool to see how we were able to work so well together without knowing each other because of the way Rush’s style is.

My weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina was one I will never forget. I had the opportunity to meet new girls, meet new coaches, and play good, competitive soccer. I was thankful for the opportunity Rush provided, and I believe they did a wonderful job making this tournament memorable!

This weekend was truly an amazing experience, and help me develop even more as a player. I was able to be pushed outside my comfort zone, by playing with a team I had only just met. This experience allowed me to better my communication skills, and gain an even better understanding of the game.

My daughter was so happy she had this opportunity to play the game she loves with Rush players from other states. Nicole provided the team with useful advice for making future college decisions as well as excellent guidance on the field.

It was fun to watch girls from across the Rush organization come together to play at the Arsenal Challenge event. They all played tough and gave it their all. I’m so glad we were able to participate!

I really enjoyed how we met on Thursday night and decided as a team how we wanted to play. It was fun to be able to be a part of the decision making of how we would play as a team. It also helped us get to know each other before walking on the field. It was really cool how we learned to play together after only knowing each other for a couple days.

I appreciated the way the coaches let the players shine. Rush coaches do such a great job teaching the Rush way in each club, that when kids get to showcases like this, it’s amazing how quickly they come together when some of them have never met before. The coaches kept things positive and fun, and the girls worked hard and came together as a team and really made Rush proud!!

Such a great experience, even in a pandemic. We felt completely safe. Josh Tyler organized a great experience for the girls & it did not disappoint. It was nice to have someone assigned to hunt down the coaches & hand out the rosters before & during the game. She was awesome! Emily was getting emails already from coaches on Saturday. Thank you & we will definitely be doing another!

Rush provided a great weekend with great competition! The coaching was great and all of the players were so nice and got along very well.

Everything was an amazing experience for us, and I wouldn’t trade this weekend for the world! It was a great way to get our team out there and for college coaches to see us. All of us enjoyed ourselves and made a bunch of great memories and new friends!
