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.
