About United FC Rush DA

WHAT- Developmental Academy is a fun, faster paced, educational soccer program for motivated U7-U8 players interested in transitioning to competitive soccer at U9.

Rec vs DA - Players who are able to listen and understand directions, work to give their best effort, enjoy competition, love learning, and are ready for the next level above Rec will be a great fit for the DA Program. Players who are interested in just having fun, and making friends are a great fit for Rec.

DA OBJECTIVES -

Help players become best possible version of themselves.
Facilitate for players a lasting love of the game.
Align learning and experience with the U9/U10 competitive program.
Prepare players to understand the rules and structure of the competitive world.
Make it challenging, educational, and FUN!

games and events

DA Summer League

New to United FC Rush Summer 2025 is our DA Summer League! In the past, DA players have been required to join our rec program to continue playing soccer over the summer. With increasing participation in our program, we will now be launching a DA summer program where DA players get an opportunity to play games internally and vs other Clubs!

DA Unity Games

Each Fall, Winter, and Spring season will incorporate a scrimmage day or event where players compete in our "DA Unity Games" vs qualified Rec teams, or U9 competitive teams. The games are designed to be appropriately challenging for our DA players, and get them experience with playing against new players outside of the DA program. We also seek to schedule games vs other clubs when possible, but cannot guarantee this every season.
