ABOUT OUR RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

Grassroots Soccer: Building the Foundation (Grassroots Program)

Grassroots Soccer is a program designed for young players who are just starting to play soccer or have limited experience. It is a great way to introduce your child to the sport and develop their skills in a less intensive environment. At Fremont Rush Soccer, our Grassroots program is one day a week, and the focus is on building the foundation of the sport. Coaches will teach basic skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork, and players will have the opportunity to play fun games and activities that promote learning and engagement.

Recreational Soccer: Developing Skills and Teamwork (Fall Rec, Winter Jam, Spring Rec & Summer Jam)

Recreational Soccer is the next level up from Grassroots Soccer and is designed for players who want to continue to develop their skills and play soccer in a more competitive setting. At Fremont Rush Soccer, our Recreational program meets twice a week, with games typically played on weekends. Players are placed on teams based on their age and skill level, and coaches focus on developing fundamental soccer skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, and teamwork. The program includes 4-6 play dates throughout the season, giving players the opportunity to compete against other teams and apply the skills they have learned.

pATHWAY TO COMPETITIVE

Competitive Soccer is the highest level of play with the highest level of commitment available at Fremont Rush Soccer. It is a program that is designed for players who are committed to taking their soccer skills to the next level. Our Competitive program is three days of practice with games on the weekend. In addition to regular games and practices, players in the Competitive program also have the ability to attend high-level tournaments and workshops to continuously improve on their skills. Competitive Soccer requires a higher level of commitment, dedication, and skill, but it can be very rewarding for players who are willing to put in the time and effort.

As a parent, you may be wondering what the pathway looks like for your child to move from recreational soccer to competitive soccer at Fremont Rush. The good news is that Fremont Rush offers a clear and supportive pathway for players to transition from recreational soccer to the competitive level.

The first step in the pathway from recreational to competitive soccer is to attend a tryout for the Fremont Rush competitive program. These tryouts are typically held in the spring and they provide an opportunity for coaches to evaluate players and determine their skill level. If your child is selected for the competitive program, they will be placed on a team that is appropriate for their age and skill level.

It's important to note that prior soccer experience is highly recommended for children who wish to transition from recreational to competitive soccer at Fremont Rush. While tryouts are open to all players, those who have already gained experience through recreational soccer or other soccer programs are likely to have a better chance of being selected for the competitive program.

Once your child has been selected for a competitive team, they will begin a more structured training program that is designed to help them improve their technical skills, tactical awareness, and physical fitness. The coaching staff at Fremont Rush is committed to providing a positive, supportive environment for all players, and they work hard to ensure that each player receives the individual attention and instruction they need to reach their full potential. With hard work, dedication, and a love for the game, your child can achieve great success in the competitive soccer program at Fremont Rush.

It's essential to understand that recreational and competitive sports are two very different things. Recreational sports are typically played for fun and enjoyment, and the focus is on participation rather than winning. In contrast, competitive sports are played to win, and the focus is on skill development, teamwork, and achieving success. The pathway from recreational to competitive sports involves a shift in mindset, where the focus moves from participation to excellence.
