Rush North Academy Overview

Iowa Rush North Academy for 8-10 year-old Boys & Girls

The Iowa Rush North Academy program acts as a pre-cursor to the Iowa Rush North Select program.  The Academy program tethers the recreational program to the select program by providing an additional step with weekly training by professional staff as well as competing in the Eastern Iowa Youth Soccer league.  Iowa Rush North offers the Academy option with the intent of providing players with the opportunity to play with and against players of similar ability/commitment where they will experience the most enjoyment and success.

The Academy program is open to any player (boys & girls born in 2015-2016 for the Fall 2024 & Spring 2025 seasons) who have a desire to further develop their soccer skills and receive professional training.  Special requests for players playing up must be approved by the Academy Director James Price.
