OVERVIEW & DATES
Developmental Soccer is the Recreational entry level offering from Hillsboro Rush. This level is available for players from Kinder age to 8th Grade.
It is primarily focused on developing the love of the game and targets those players new to the sport or those who just want to play the game without having to commit to a year round sport.
Play in a Hillsboro Rush uniform, experience game environments with sessions twice a week in the Fall, and once a week in the Spring with games at the weekend, all with the emphasis on having fun!
Formation of teams is dependent on Volunteer Coaches, and players are placed on a first come first serve basis. When a team is full, players will be placed on a wait list until a space becomes available or another volunteer coach is found.
