Soccer Culture In New York

New York Rush Soccer offers a positive learning and playing experience for youth soccer players of all ages. With its player-centered approach, NY Rush welcomes kids as young as 4 to get a solid foundation in their soccer skills. As they continue to learn and develop their skills, boys and girls from ages 7 to 18 benefit from NY Rush's various soccer clubs.

NY Rush players receive support through a deep well of resources from industry professionals. This support includes training gear and kits (uniforms), as well as alumni mentorship programs. Over the last three seasons, Rush C.A.R.E.S. has provided more than $800,000 in scholarships to players of all ages. Underserved communities can tap into support, encouraging inclusiveness and achievement.

New York City has been home to soccer since 1921. Young soccer players can find inspiration and excitement from two Major League Soccer teams in New York. The New York City Football Club splits its home matches between Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Citi Field in Queens. The New York Red Bulls play their home matches at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. This is the first soccer-specific professional venue in the New York Metro Area.

These clubs' second teams play near their MLS clubs, and the women's professional team, NJ/NY Gotham FC, plays at Red Bull Arena. The MLS season runs from February through October.

NY Rush families are also passionate about the NE Revolution MLS team, as well as English Premier League teams.
