The Girls Academy is a national competition platform with teams for girls ages 13-19, and is used in all levels of recruiting, such as college and US Youth National team. Within the girls programming at Kansas Rush, the GA is at the highest level and is the most demanding. Players not participating in high school soccer can expect a 10-month programming cycle and an 8-month programming cycle for those who are.
The Girls Academy (GA) is the leading youth development platform for the best female soccer players in the United States. The GA is the only national youth soccer platform that represents the collective vision of member clubs and actively engages the voice of players to take real ownership in the GA. This collaborative philosophy creates a culture guided by a shared set of core values, which produces an unparalleled experience uniquely designed in the best interest of the players. The GA embraces the desire of club members and GA players alike to maintain an unrivaled standard of excellence in coaching, competition, and regional and national showcase events throughout the year.
The GA is also committed to cultivating an environment that empowers each player to reach their best potential as an exceptional athlete and human being by celebrating the player’s journey with a lifelong love of the game through competition, showcases, and camaraderie.
Kansas Rush will field six GA teams, including U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19 teams that train three times a week and play a nationwide schedule in the Midwest Conference.
The Girls Academy continues to grow, adding teams from all over the country. As the league improves, we are always looking to improve as well so that is why we host these open ID sessions. These sessions allow players and families from outside of Kansas Rush to experience what the Girls Academy is about, while also giving our coaches a chance to evaluate every player who attends.
