Kendall SC, Kendall Hammocks Optimist, and West Kendall Optimist have formed a partnership to develop competitive girls soccer in the Kendall area that will bring a higher level of soccer and development for our girls and play under the name of Miami Rush Soccer (formerly Kendall United)
Girls Program Director Alvaro Betancur and the staff’s coaching philosophy is focused on the four pillars of the game. Developing each player’s technical, tactical, physical and psychological attributes. This is achieved by engaging them in high level training sessions designed to put them in game-like situations that will not only enhance their ability to identify potential problems, but also find ways to solve them. Our commitment to all of our players is that once they move on to the next phase of their soccer careers they have all the tools necessary to be successful both on and off the field. Through the game of soccer we strive to teach all of our members the core fundamentals of the game, but most importantly emphasize the importance of teamwork, discipline, respect, and work ethic. We believe that these characteristics will empower all of our members’ lives, but most importantly set them on the course to be successful individuals.
Teams will share the facilities of Kendall SC, Kendall Hammocks and West Kendall Optimist for training and games.
Miami Rush in conjunction with Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA) and US Youth Soccer (USYS) is excited to announce the formation of the USYS Sunshine Conference Girls Academy Division — the latest Club vs. Club Division within the USYS National League Conferences.
From the USYS press release;
“The Girls Academy Division has secured commitments from nine clubs, including: Chargers SC, Florida Rush, IdeaSport Soccer Academy, IMG Academy, Jacksonville FC, Miami Rush, South Florida Football Academy, FC Tampa Rangers and West Florida Flames SC. “We are excited to introduce the Sunshine Conference Girls Academy Division and provide a platform for some of the top players in Florida to challenge themselves on a regular basis to further their development,” said Chris Webb, Director of Operations & Event Management for USYS.”
Miami Rush will be the only club in Miami Dade County participating in the Sunshine Conference Girls Academy League, competing against top ranked teams in Florida and possible regional and national events.
What this means to our players;
· Scheduled league play versus top clubs across the state of Florida (the 9 clubs listed above).
· Regular season schedule which does allow high school aged players to play high school soccer, as the league breaks from about mid-November to mid-February.
· Enhanced pathways to State, Regional and National competitions to include; FYSA State Cup, USYS National Championship League and USYS National League P.R.O. (Player Recruitment Opportinity).
· Individual player exposure/recruitment at the highest level State, Regional and National competitions.
We believe this step forward will further help consolidate the top talent in Miami Dade County. With our local club resources, the national resources available to us from Rush Soccer and Capelli Sport combined with this achieved level of competition, we have positioned ourselves to even further elevate girls soccer in the County we serve. We are extremely excited to be able to bring this and more to our soccer community.
