Academy
MS Rush Oxford Soccer's Academy Program has two developmental phases; Junior Academy (U8 - U10) and our Academy (U11 - U12). Players accepted into this program have displayed the ability to play at a higher level through an assessment process. This program requires a higher commitment level from both the parents and the players.

Year Round Season
Academy and Junor Academy teams are formed in the summer of each year through open tryouts and evaluations. Players are accepted to their team for a 10-month commitment beginning August 1 to June 1 the following year.
The Competitive program requires travel to local (junior academy), regional and/or out-of-state tournaments (Academy). Individual teams compete at various levels depending upon the competitive needs of the players involved.
U8-U12 Teams
In the U8-U10 age groups, there is a first team (Navy), a second team (Red) and a third team (White) in each age group, when numbers allow. In the U11-U12 age groups, there is a first team (Blue), a second team (Red) and a third team (Red II) in each age group, when numbers allow. This level is referred to as the Academy. Whichever the case, players have made a decision to play competitive soccer and are placed based upon their passion, needs and ability.

Youth Development Academy
Is your child a U8 - U10 player looking for a competitive soccer program? A program aimed at U9-U10 players looking to develop their skills and play at a more competitive level so when the time comes for the next step, they're ready.
Player Placement
Every year in late May and early June, soccer clubs conduct their annual tryouts to place players on a team based on their abilities. Those tryouts take hundreds of man hours to look at hundreds, possibly thousands of players in a short period of time. While majority of the players receive a phone call and are placed appropriately, many fall through the cracks, some cannot attend these tryouts, and many are too nervous to show their true ability.
When we look at the athletes, we measure their technical and tactical abilities along with their physical and psychological attributes. A tryout period does not allow us to fully rate players accurately. For these reasons, players will be observed throughout the entire year by their team Head Coach and Director of Coaching at training sessions and games. They will then be consequently placed more accurately within the Rush system. Evaluations will be based on the previously mentioned components in addition to attendance, attitude, team chemistry, and consistency, to name a few.

Player Pathway
Our Junior Academy and Academy Programs exists to allow any player, irrespective of ability, the opportunity to take their game to the height of their potential. Additional divisions within our Competitive Program give our top level players more elite playing opportunities. For our top players, their goals should include playing on their respective MS Rush Oxford National 1 League, Partner Club's ECNL (Boys), ECNL RL (Girls), Rush Select XI Regional teams and Rush Select XI National teams.
For our club, our goal is to push our players to reach that "next level" by allowing our members as many opportunities within our local club and national Rush network to improve their overall game all while providing an unparalleled youth soccer experience.
