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.
COSTS
Our Spring fees cover player registration fee, equipment for coaching, field maintenance, risk management, insurance, head coach education, field rentals and club operational costs.

Rush Academy - Taking the Next Step
In an effort to constantly look to improve our programs and the subsequent learning environment for our players, we realized that there is a gap between programs within our own Player Pathway.
To ensure that we are not doing a disservice to our players, we have created a brand new program called the Hillsboro Rush Academy. These programs will be headed by our Recreational Co-ordinator Mason Aguirre, and our Assistant Director of Coaching Michael Wall. Along with quality and experienced coaches from our competitive program, we are looking to create a bridge for players to continue their growth.
Train on turf, with licensed coaches and a player centered environment, to allow our players to reach their true potential.
Academy Players are 5-14 years old
Become a Referee
Encouraging your child, or even yourself, to become a referee in the Developmental Soccer program is a wonderful way to introduce yourself into the world of soccer refereeing.
For a 13+ Year old it is a great way to acquire responsibility, furthering their development as a young adult, and of course, an opportunity to earn money in a positive environment.
You can sign up to become a referee by clicking here.
You will be directed to Oregon Referee Committee, where you will find the upcoming classes and respective costs.
Once you are certified, you will be able to sign up for games that are requiring referees and begin your journey.
