Rush Fest 2022 – A Party Like No Other!

A Party Like No Other

Rush Fest 2022 returns to Colorado, to be more game-centric

 

After holding Rush Fest in St. Louis last year, the signature event that introduces players to the 11-a-side level of the game returns to Colorado with some exciting new changes.

 

Foremost among the new wrinkles for Rush Fest 2022 will be the addition of new games, according to Rush Fest director Nik Penn.

 

“We’re going to make Rush Fest more game centric,” Penn said. “In the past, we’ve played one game each day along with one training session and a classroom session. But this year, we’re going to have more soccer.”

 

The new format will forego the training session and replace it with two 40-minute games. 

 

“It’s about the same amount of soccer but now you can have more games, and as a coach and technical director you get more halftimes, more pre-games and more after-game talks with the kids,” Penn said. “It’s the first time they play 11v11, so this is a very valuable opportunity for clubs.”

 

After Sunday night’s opening ceremonies packed with music, quizzes, giveaways, and a Rush orientation, teams will play two games each day on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Wednesday is an off day with fun activities, while Friday wraps up the week-long event with games in the morning.

 

“This is where players get the chance to really see what we mean when we talk about the Rush way,” Penn said. “They’ll get a great environment to play plenty of soccer but also learn what it means to be a Rush player.”

 

The event held July 10-15 will also include coach education, a parent’s night, and closing ceremonies along with some social gatherings.

 

Rush Fest is open to 2010 boys and girls teams. However, partial teams and individuals can also participate as well.

We are delighted to announce that Kauai Rush successfully hosted the HI Performance Summer Camp 2023. This camp marked the beginning of many exceptional training opportunities to come. Throughout the camp, our dedicated campers showcased their hard work, learned valuable skills, and, most importantly, had a blast. Our coaching staff brought a wealth of expertise to the camp. Coach Olsi, a UEFA PRO licensed coach from Albania, served as the manager of FK Dinamo Futbol Club and the Albania U18 Men's National Team. His vast experience and knowledge enriched the learning environment for our campers. Additionally, Coach Shandon, a product of the Hawaii Rush Soccer Club system, excelled in professional soccer at the highest level, having played in Major League Soccer (MLS). We are proud to have Arian Hoxha, the National Technical Director and President of Rush National, leading the Rush organization. The HI Performance Summer Camp 2023 was just the beginning of an exciting journey for our young athletes. We look forward to organizing more outstanding camps and providing exceptional opportunities for growth and enjoyment.
