Competitive

At Alaska Rush, competitive soccer is more than wins and losses — it's about building players who are disciplined, coachable, and ready to compete at the highest levels Alaska has to offer. Our competitive programs provide structured training, league play, and tournament experience for players who are ready to take the next step.

Pre-Competitive

Pre-Comp bridges the gap between recreational and competitive soccer, giving young players a foundation in technical skills, teamwork, and confidence — all in an environment where development always comes before outcome.

Pre-Comp Academy For players born 2018–2020. The perfect first step into structured training. Fun, encouraging, and focused on building love for the game.

Pre-Comp For players born 2016–2018 who are ready for a higher level of training. Boys practice Monday/Wednesday at Chilly Pepper Field. Girls practice Tuesday/Thursday at Lloyd Steele Soccer Complex. Both groups: 4:00–5:15 PM.

Competitive Club Teams

Our competitive club program trains players 2–3 times per week and competes in local leagues, statewide tournaments, and out-of-state events. Teams are formed through tryouts and evaluated placements.

Players in our competitive program develop:

Technical skill through structured, curriculum-based training
Tactical awareness through competitive match play
Character, leadership, and resilience both on and off the field
