Rush Fest 2022 – A Party Like No Other!

A Party Like No Other

Rush Fest 2022 returns to Colorado, to be more game-centric

 

After holding Rush Fest in St. Louis last year, the signature event that introduces players to the 11-a-side level of the game returns to Colorado with some exciting new changes.

 

Foremost among the new wrinkles for Rush Fest 2022 will be the addition of new games, according to Rush Fest director Nik Penn.

 

“We’re going to make Rush Fest more game centric,” Penn said. “In the past, we’ve played one game each day along with one training session and a classroom session. But this year, we’re going to have more soccer.”

 

The new format will forego the training session and replace it with two 40-minute games. 

 

“It’s about the same amount of soccer but now you can have more games, and as a coach and technical director you get more halftimes, more pre-games and more after-game talks with the kids,” Penn said. “It’s the first time they play 11v11, so this is a very valuable opportunity for clubs.”

 

After Sunday night’s opening ceremonies packed with music, quizzes, giveaways, and a Rush orientation, teams will play two games each day on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Wednesday is an off day with fun activities, while Friday wraps up the week-long event with games in the morning.

 

“This is where players get the chance to really see what we mean when we talk about the Rush way,” Penn said. “They’ll get a great environment to play plenty of soccer but also learn what it means to be a Rush player.”

 

The event held July 10-15 will also include coach education, a parent’s night, and closing ceremonies along with some social gatherings.

 

Rush Fest is open to 2010 boys and girls teams. However, partial teams and individuals can also participate as well.

All recreational leagues depend on volunteer parent coaches! Without them we have no league. We provide a small reward to rec head coaches by giving them a 50% discount on the fee for the child they are coaching. However, sometimes there are volunteer parent coaches that go above and beyond! We would like to take this opportunity to recognize one of them. Thank you to our new sponsor, Planet Fitness, who is providing the means for us to give a deserving volunteer parent a nice extra reward. Stacy Velleca currently coaches three of her kids’ teams through the Rush recreational program: Ruby is in U8 (2 nd grade), Cooper is in U12 (6th grade), and Laney is in U13 (7 th grade). Stacy has been coaching them every Fall and Spring for years. And she takes it very seriously. When she started coaching, she went out of her way to learn more about soccer and coaching, so that she could help the kids develop their skills and have fun. While her teams may or may not be ready to play in the World Cup, the players, and their parents both appreciate her. Her teams are usually full with all returning players season after season. Thank you, Stacy! For the time and effort you put into coaching! Thanks to Planet Fitness we are giving Stacy an annual Black Card Membership. So, if she can find any time for herself, she can stay in shape to more easily make it through all the practices and games! Thank you to Stacy and all of our volunteer coaches!!! Kansas Rush
