Iowa Rush North

Iowa Rush Soccer Club is committed to providing an unrivaled soccer experience for players of all abilities and age levels. We accept the responsibility of teaching life lessons to our athletes to further their growth inside the game and out, through core-values, sportsmanship and community outreach. We will afford all players the opportunity to maximize their potential, realize their dreams and cultivate a passion for the game. Through quality coaching, sound leadership and the connection with the world-wide Rush organization, Iowa Rush Soccer Club will work to be the destination club of choice in the state of Iowa.

As we look ahead to the Spring 2026 season and beyond, we’re taking a moment to reflect on where it all began—and where we’re going next. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing a series of posts that celebrate the history of Iowa Rush and the vision that continues to drive our future. Iowa Rush officially began in 2009, built on the strong foundation of the Ankeny Soccer Club. From the very beginning, our leaders shared a clear goal: to create better soccer opportunities for Iowa families while staying true to our community roots. Joining the national Rush Soccer organization opened the door to greater regional and national opportunities for our players, shared resources with some of the top soccer minds in the country, and proven pathways for player development. Just as important, it allowed us to keep soccer local and accessible—while raising the standard of the game across our club. #HonoringOurRoots. #BuildingfortheFuture.
