The SWMO Rush Competitive Program is for children birth year 2015 (U9)-birth year 2005 (U19). Players commit to the entire season (Fall through Spring), upon receiving an invitation to join the team at tryouts. Players are placed on teams that will provide the best developmental opportunities for each individual. High school players play a shorter season, opposite to their high school season.

Registration

Registration for the SWMO Rush Competitive Program is a 2-step process.

Step 1 is to register for Tryouts. Registration for Tryouts is REQUIRED in order for your player to participate. There is no charge to register for Tryouts.

Step 2 is to register and pay for the Competitive Program. Registration must be completed by the parent or guardian, NOT the player.  Following Tryouts, you will receive an invitation email from your player's Director of Coaching with the link to register your player.

To help you prepare, you will need to do the following during registration:

• Upload a headshot (passport style) of your player and birth certificate and enter insurance information.
• Pay a $19 fee to MYSA.
• Pay SWMO Rush player fees. The $150 initial fee is required to reserve your player’s spot on the official team roster. You have the option to pay in full, or pay on an 8-month (6-month for high school players) payment plan. It is important that you adhere to all registration deadlines to ensure your player is eligible to play.

Tryouts

The goal of Tryouts is to play all players on a developmentally appropriate team. Registration is required and there is no charge.
