WHAT IS SELECT SOCCER?

Select soccer is a competitive, player-evaluated program designed for athletes who are ready for a higher level of training, commitment, and competition.

 Select teams are formed through evaluations and placement is based on ability, development needs, and commitment level.

At Carolina Rush FC,  our Select soccer program follows the Rush Way, emphasizing long-term player development, technical excellence, and intelligent decision-making while competing in structured league environments appropriate to each team's level.
