Recreational

Recreational soccer stresses the participation, enjoyment, sportsmanship, skill development, safety, and teamwork aspects of the game. The goal is for the players to learn and fall in love with the sport of soccer.

Our recreational teams are formed by Oklahoma Rush staff and coached by coaches in the Oklahoma Rush Coaching Mentorship Program. These Coaches in this program have a strong desire to grow as a coach in the game and achieve higher level Coaching opportunities in the future.

We also will rely on parent volunteers as needed to either coach and/or assist the Oklahoma Rush Mentorship Program Coaches.

Athletes will be placed on teams with friends and Coach requests, as much as possible. The number of players allowed on each team will dictate that. Rush staff will support the Oklahoma Rush Interns and volunteer coaches/parent volunteers with coaching education tools and pre-made training sessions to ensure a great environment for the players.

Branches

The Recreational Branch is divided into three divisions: the Micro Division, the Bantam Division, and the 11v11 Division. The number of teams per age group will vary depending on the number of players who register. To see what age group you fall under, see our age group chart.

Each season will be an exciting play-based journey based on skills, coordination, and passion for the game. Players will be active and engaged while gaining confidence and excitement about the game.

In-House League

What is an in-house league? A league in which teams only play teams within the same program. No away game travel required. Just a simple, Rush vs Rush set up.

The Micro Division of our Recreational Program is an exciting, fun, and energetic in-house league for players 4 to 8 years old! Teams will be formed based on age, teammate requests and coach requests. Rush aims to foster a safe, fun, educational experience for your child as well as a solid foundation for lifetime skills.
