Welcome to the 2023 Fall Season At Fremont Rush!

New Horizons and Goals Ahead!

Welcome parents, coaches, and players to the 2023 Fall season! Whether you’re just starting out in our Rec program, are involved in our Intermediate program, or are a new or returning member of one of our competitive teams, welcome! With a new season always comes new excitement, new ambitions, and new goals, as coaches and players prepare for a new season of soccer!

This season brings with it a lot of changes that are expected to generate excitement. For starters, this is Fremont Rush’s first competitive season since joining NorCal Premier Soccer, Northern California’s top youth soccer organization. League games are expected to be highly competitive, and Fremont Rush clubs will also be participating in the NorCal State Cup, a statewide tournament that will be held during the fall season.

This will also be the first season where all competitive clubs will be provided a Hudl camera system to record, analyze, study, and share games and game clips that will be a valuable tool to improve coaching and player development. Special thanks to our new Hudl Champions, who have volunteered to help setup, breakdown, record, and upload videos for each game!

The fall season also marks the beginning of a new 2-year uniform cycle with Capelli Sport, the official uniform providers of Fremont Rush. We hope all new and returning players have received their new warmups, training gear, and home and away kits for the 23/24 season!

We'd like to seize this moment to introduce our coaches and team managers for the upcoming fall season. We also extend a warm welcome to any new additions to the Fremont Rush family, as well as to our dedicated staff and volunteers who are embracing new or expanded roles:
