The Intermediate Academy is under the Competitive umbrella, and allows players to develop at an accelerated pace. This is a program designed for individual player development to prepare players for a smooth and fluid transition into our Competitive Programs. Players are placed into training pools based on the player development four corner model and teams are formed at premier, gold, silver, or bronze level. Rush staff coaches assure that every training is intense, fun and age appropriate.  

The Intermediate Academy mirrors the Competitive program with 3 training sessions per week, Each season, each team participates in one local tournament, and ‘in house’ scrimmages against our competitive teams.

Here at Rush, we believe that the pathway to successful athletes and exceptional character building begins here in the Intermediate Academy. We implement our 11 Rush Core Values, like respect, tenacity, enjoyment, and passion, into the game and into the hearts of these players. This program sets the tone for the future of the club, so we work closely with our Competitive coaches as well as our Recreational coaches to ensure great quality, effort, and love goes into each individual player in the program.

In the Intermediate Academy, we train, we cheer, we smile, and we produce quality athletes both inside and out. We teach an abundance of technical training, the Rush Way, and help provide training opportunities for all to better their skills in the game. We practice the Core Value of Unity and together, make a difference in the game.  

During the season, various camps and clinics will be held by Fremont Rush. Those camps and clinics will also be available to the intermediate Academy players to take advantage of if accepted into the program.

Complete The Fremont Rush Sideline Project - A 15 Minute Course! 

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE WILL RESULT IN YOUR CHILD NOT BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN UPCOMING TRAINING, TOURNAMENTS & GAMES!

Why do we feel like this is important?
Distracting and hostile communication can hamper the development of players & cause stress for the player leading to lack of enjoyment and desire to play the sport. Our goal at Fremont Rush Soccer is to build & support athletes for life, at whatever level is appropriate for each player. We want our players to try new things, which means taking risks to develop their creativity. Developing players is a journey that needs your support to enjoy the ride, to learn resilience and to have success with perseverance. We believe if you invest in & properly develop players, the winning takes care of itself. 

Fremont Rush is proud to be a Club Member of the Soccer Parenting Association. We believe youth soccer parents will be difference makers when it comes to improving the game.
