2016B Blue Shines in the Gold NorCal State Cup 2024

The Fremont Rush 2016B Blue team had an extraordinary run in the Gold NorCal State Cup 2024 bracket, demonstrating exceptional skill, determination, and team spirit. The tournament journey, spanning September 8 to November 10, 2024, saw the team compete in a total of nine games across four intense stages: the preliminary round, secondary round, semifinals, and finals.

The tournament took the team to venues as far as Davis and Sacramento, requiring extensive travel and logistical coordination. Yet, the players remained focused and driven, balancing the rigorous demands of the State Cup alongside their regular season schedule. With games often scheduled on consecutive weekends, the team demonstrated extraordinary commitment, never allowing the intensity of the schedule to impact their performance.

This experience was about more than just soccer....it was about growth, unity, and shared experiences. On the field, every player had standout moments, adapting to the fast-paced games and contributing to the team’s overall success. Off the field, the bonds among players, parents, and coaches deepened as they spent time together traveling, sharing meals, and celebrating victories. These moments of connection strengthened the team’s sense of unity and built lasting memories.

The tournament was a testament to teamwork and camaraderie, both on and off the field. Every player contributed with moments of brilliance, adapting seamlessly to the rhythm of the games. Their determination, positivity, and cheerful attitudes made the journey as memorable as the matches themselves. Beyond the field, players, parents, and coaches shared special moments, strengthening communication and unity throughout the experience.

To honor their incredible achievement, the club presented the team with commemorative shirts, a symbol of their dedication and success. Coach Cristian shared his Rush pride, stating, "I’m very happy and proud of these children—they are truly enjoying soccer."

The Fremont Rush 2016B Blue team’s performance in the State Cup exemplifies the core values of Fremont Rush: passion, teamwork, and a love for the game. Congratulations to the team for their remarkable journey and for representing Fremont Rush with excellence!

Two of our youngest Fremont Rush teams brought home major honors at this year’s NorCal State Cup, one of the most competitive youth soccer tournaments in California. Both groups displayed skill, unity, and heart from start to finish, representing the club with pride and determination. Fremont Rush 2017B Blue Reds - U9 Premier Division Champions The Fremont Rush 2017B Blue Reds finished their incredible run as NorCal State Cup Champions in the U9 Premier Division. The team delivered an outstanding performance throughout the weekend, showing poise, teamwork, and composure under pressure. Coach Wahid shared: “ This weekend was nothing short of electric. Every single player showed up with heart, hunger, and grit. From the first whistle to the last, the boys played like a unit built on trust and belief, not just skill. Becoming NorCal State Cup Champions wasn’t luck, it was the result of months of obsession, sacrifice, and pure love for the game.” For these players, the championship was more than a medal. It was proof that commitment, hard work, and belief in one another create something special. Fremont Rush 2017 Nero Azurri - U9 Cooper Division Finalists The Fremont Rush 2017 Nero Azurri also turned heads throughout the tournament, earning second place in the U9 Cooper Division. Their journey to the final was packed with memorable moments, teamwork, and growth. Coach Yayo reflected: “ Seeing the boys enjoy the game and with those smiles on their faces was amazing. The passion and determination they showed on the field in the semifinal and final games was incredible. These boys proved they are little warriors and weren’t intimidated by any opponent. Watching them grow and develop their skills in their first season was amazing, and as a result, they had their first experience as state cup finalists. I’m so proud of my boys. Go Rush! ” For many of these players, this was their first taste of State Cup soccer, and they rose to every challenge with confidence and joy.
