What ages and program levels does Mobile United Rush FC offer?Recreational soccer flows through Rush Soccer Development. Mobile United Rush FC operates Academy teams from U8 through U12 and Premier teams from U13 through U19 on ten-month curricula with fall and spring segments. The Rush affiliation adds regional, national, and international pathway options, including Coastal Rush and Rush Select for players who qualify.
About
Mobile United Rush FC is a Rush-affiliated youth soccer club in Mobile, Alabama, formed when AFC Mobile, Mobile United FC, and Mobile Rush merged into one organization—the largest single youth soccer club footprint in Mobile’s history. The club emphasizes a player-centered environment, paid licensed coaching, and access to the wider Rush player pathway, including opportunities for top performers to compete under the Coastal Rush umbrella and to pursue Rush Select programming for additional national and international development exposure.
What the club offers
Recreational soccer is routed through Rush Soccer Development for families who want introductory or house-style play, while Mobile United Rush FC runs the local competitive ladder in two main tracks. The Academy program covers U8 through U12 with a ten-month, age-appropriate curriculum, twice-weekly practices that start no earlier than 5:15 p.m., fall and spring seasons (August through December and January through May), and access to Coastal Rush interclub playdates. The Premier program serves U13 through U19 with the same training rhythm and season structure, plus college-advisory style support for players from tenth grade upward through Coastal Rush’s college advisory resources. Tryouts for the next cycle run in May, with supplemental tryouts in August and December, and Academy-age players moving up from recreational soccer can also request individual evaluations during the year.
Where teams train and try out
Regular training for Academy and Premier teams rotates among Medal of Honor Park, the Mobile County Sports Complex, and Cottage Hill Presbyterian Church, depending on age group and field scheduling. For the 2026–2027 tryout window, evaluations for 2007–2019 birth years are scheduled at the Mobile County Soccer Complex on Halls Mill Road in Mobile, with staggered evenings between mid-May and late May for girls and boys by age band—families should confirm the exact session for their player before traveling. Tryout field assignments may be finalized at check-in even when the complex is the hub.
Tryouts, registration, and Coastal Rush eligibility
Tryout registration runs through GotSport; the club typically opens a program link for each cycle as evaluations approach. Tryouts are free to register and attend. Players should arrive early enough to check in, bring a fully inflated ball, cleats, shin guards, a black shirt and shorts, and plenty of water. Head coaches evaluate with support from the directors of coaching. Any interested player in the published birth-year range may attend; returning players from the legacy Mobile Rush, Mobile United, and AFC Mobile programs must register and attend each year. Players born from 2007 through 2014 who aim toward Coastal Rush ECNL Regional League tryouts need a Mobile United Rush roster offer and must complete club registration and the club registration fee so Mobile United Rush remains the home club for that pathway. If a player cannot make the published tryout nights, families should contact the club for an absentee or alternate evaluation process.
Mission, coaching, and Rush resources
Long-term player development and personal growth sit at the center of the training culture, with full-time and part-time staff supporting team managers so schedules and updates reach families reliably. Beyond local training, families can tap Rush-wide resources such as the college advisory program, coach education, R.E.A.C.H. community initiatives, Rush Select, branded tournaments, and Rush Travel experiences that combine competition abroad with cultural travel—optional add-ons for families who want more exposure outside the Gulf Coast.
Fees and practical planning
Tryouts carry no fee. After a roster offer, Academy and Premier families pay monthly tuition across the ten-month cycle, while registration, uniform, and event costs sit outside that core tuition and vary by team and calendar. Recreational costs follow Rush Soccer Development’s own structure. For the full picture on a specific age group, uniform bundle, and travel expectations, email the club office or call during office hours.
