Instead of hosting traditional “ID” sessions this Spring, Gateway Rush will have an open evaluation process.

New players that are interested in playing for Gateway Rush in the 2025/26 season should submit the Player Placement form linked below.  Our staff will then reach out directly to provide instructions for that player to attend a training session with one of our existing teams.  

This open evaluation process will allow families more flexibility to be able to attend sessions and our staff the ability to see the player perform in a normal training environment.

We will still host club tryouts starting in mid-May.  All players, returning and new, will be required to register for the tryout sessions.  Tryout dates and registration information will be released soon.

Tryout dates will be posted no later than April 5th.  The Head Coach will select his/her team with the assistance of the club staff of Gateway Rush. Tryouts for all players, new and returning, will take place during late May and early June as normal.  We will not be hosting traditional ID sessions, instead we have an open evaluation system where interested players can come to a training session with one of our teams throughout the spring season by registering below.

All players interested in playing for Gateway Rush in 2025/26 season should plan to attend both tryout sessions.  If you are unable to attend one of the sessions, please let us know as soon as possible.  

At Gateway Rush, we believe in a unique approach to youth soccer that sets us apart from traditional clubs. Our "European-style" system allows players to guest play with various teams within our club, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Here, players and coaches are not confined to a single team; instead, they are integral members of the Gateway Rush family. This innovative structure provides our athletes with diverse opportunities to develop their skills based on their individual playing abilities and maturity levels.

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where every player is valued and supported. Our philosophy is simple: we are all part of one big family, and together, we strive for excellence. While we maintain the same objectives as any top youth club in the country—helping players reach higher levels, whether that be college or professional—we do so in a way that emphasizes enjoyment and personal growth.

At Gateway Rush, you’re not just a player on a team; you’re part of a larger community known as Rush Nation. This expansive network opens doors to a wealth of opportunities, including participation in Rush Select, our College Advisory Program (CAP), Rush Fest, Showcase Teams, and much more. We are dedicated to nurturing not only skilled athletes but also responsible young adults who thrive both on and off the field.

Join us at Gateway Rush, where your journey in soccer is enriched by the support of our entire club. Together, we’ll help you achieve your dreams while enjoying every moment of the game. Welcome to the family!
