Summer Camps – A World-Class Player Development Opportunity
June 2 until August 9, 2024
Our camps are organized in blocks of three weeks to provide each player a logical and effective progression of learning, with weeks building off of one another. The participant is encouraged therefore to be part of the full three week camp to maximize progress, yet this is not mandatory and any participant can always choose to join the group on the week they are most interested in.
The morning session includes two hours of technique and skill development. The focus of the afternoon session is tactical and implementing the learning technical skills on game-like environments. The evening sessions are in-house games.

Our program has two unique training sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Built over Rush Soccer’s proven player development methodology, the academy works with a systematic age based / ability level curriculum, and enhances on the field training through a holistic portfolio of complementary services, developing all student athletes in Mental Conditioning, Fitness, Tactical Understanding, Technical Training, and Nutrition.
As part of the program, the Rush Select Academy counts on a video analysis team that live streams every game for the enjoyment of the athletes’ families and breaks down footage to work with our student-athletes in both team and individual basis.
Our systematic approach includes all of the fundamental components for peak performance including endurance, strength, power, speed, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility, and nutrition.
Develop strength, speed, coordination and agility with the RPS soccer specific conditioning program
If accepted to the program, you can join the RPS Soccer on a full-time boarding or non-boarding basis. The difference between these two formats is that boarding students live in the dorms at the Sandpiper Bay Resort at our facility. Non-boarding students spend the entire day at the facility but once academics and sports are over for the day they return to their off-campus homes.
Alternatively, plenty of student-athletes from all over the world participate in the program on a short-term basis, coming to train with us and experience the academy life generally for 1-3 weeks at a time.
Groups and teams are also frequently received with the objective of experiencing this academy life and compete against some of our teams.
RPS Soccer recruits players from Rush and non-Rush clubs from around the world. Interested candidates are evaluated as far as their soccer level through video and/or personally when possible. Very frequently interested candidates fly to the academy for short term stays of a week to try out for our teams.
Academic records are also evaluated as part of this process.
The academy life is exciting every day, yet long and demanding. Our student-athletes wake up early around 6 AM to prepare themselves for training and academics. They generally eat breakfast at 7 AM and at 8 – 8:30 AM walk to the fields for a morning training session, complemented by a second session for fitness at the gym or on the field (in recovery days this can be replaced for a class of Mental Conditioning, Nutrition, or Video Analysis).
By 9:45 AM the student-athletes are showering and getting ready to attend school, which runs in two blocks of two hours, from 10 AM – 12 PM and 1 PM – 3 PM, leaving a one hour break in the middle for the students to have lunch.
Once school is over, the participants change again into their training gear to go for a second training sessions at 3:30 PM on the field.
At 5 PM their day concludes, leaving an hour for them to shower and relax before dinner at the resort restaurant.
Two days a week the student-athletes attend a third shift of academics at the school.
