THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
General Information
We are excited to open our 2024 Fall Competitive League Play program. Entering our 49th year, Minnesota Rush continues to be a leader in the soccer community with a player centered approach, constantly working to provide the best service to you and your family. MN Rush is the only club with full / part time staff members solely dedicated to your player.
Minnesota Rush is the only club in Rochester that is a member of the Minnesota Youth Soccer League, Southern Minnesota League and Twin City Soccer League, which is part of the United States Soccer Federation. We follow all mandates and recommendations for player development set at the National level.
By joining Minnesota Rush you will receive the following benefits:

Uniforms
All players playing Fall 2024 will need to make sure they have the below uniform kit. When you register, you will be given automatic information on how to order. Rough cost is $170.
Teams
In order to maximize player development, we will do our best to place players on teams where they are surrounded by others of similar ability.
Players will be placed based on a combination of how they ranked on their previous team and tryout rankings.
We do not share specifics regarding rankings and scores.
Team formation depends on the following:
- Player Development- is the player at the appropriate level
- Teams moving from 7v7 to 9v9 to 11v11 will have players added - sometimes we have to move several players around to even out the teams.
High School vs Club - we ask players / families to make a decision on what they want to try out for- we can not hold a spot for your child. If a player signs up for HS and then does not make the team, they can reach out to the club to see if there is room, but it is not guaranteed. Refunds will not be given to players that sign up for the club and decide to play HS.
Registration Deadline for Fall Competitive will be July 27th, 2024
