San Diego Rush

What ages and program levels does San Diego Rush offer?First Touch welcomes newer and recreational players with weekly skill blocks and small-sided games. Competitive tryouts target U15 through U19 girls and boys. The club also runs seasonal spring, summer, and futsal camps, and connects families to Rush Soccer national offerings such as Rush Select, college advisory support, Rush Travel, R.E.A.C.H., and shared tournament programming.

Where does San Diego Rush train or hold tryouts?First Touch trains at Junior Seau Sports Complex on Wednesday evenings. Spring 2026 tryouts use Rancho Mission Canyon Park, a Seventh-day Adventist Church field for designated girls age groups, and the Junior Seau turf field for boys sessions, with staggered evening times by birth-year band.

When are tryouts or registration, and how do families sign up?Spring 2026 girls tryouts are Monday and Wednesday, April 20 and 22; boys run Tuesday through Thursday, April 21–23, with staggered evening start times by age group. Register for tryouts in PlayMetrics through the club’s signup link. First Touch meets on Wednesdays April 22 and 29 and May 6 and 13 in the late afternoon. Camp blocks currently span April 3–May 1, July 3–August 1, and October 3–November 1, with enrollment at sandiegorush.com/camps.

What do tryouts, camps, or supplemental programs cost?Each spring, summer, and futsal camp segment costs $300. Tryout fees and full-season team tuition are not given next to those camp prices, so families should confirm the current player fee schedule during PlayMetrics registration or when they follow up with staff.
