Miami Rush Kendall SC boys competitive teams range from ages U9-U18 and generally participate in club and league activities from August through May. Most league games take place in the Miami-Dade/Broward/Palm Beach county region. Older teams (U13+) should also expect to play a portion of their games outside South Florida.
All Miami Rush Kendall SC teams are coached by U.S. Soccer or FIFA licensed coaches under FYSA guidelines. No parents are coaching their son's team.
All competitive teams play under the affiliation of the Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA) in local leagues, tournaments and championships that are sanctioned by the State association under the organization of the US Youth Soccer Association. The majority of the club’s teams play at the Division 1 level and compete in the leagues of the South Florida United Youth Association and top tournaments throughout Florida and across the country, such as Disney Showcase and Jr. Showcase, Raleigh Showcase, IMG Cup, Disney Memorial Day Tournament, Atlanta Cup, West Pines Kickoff Classic, Plantation Thanksgiving Tournament, and Weston Cup. In some age groups in which the club registers two teams, the second team is registered at the Division 2 level (unless team displays it can compete at Division 1) in order to allow the players to develop in an environment that is appropriate with the team’s overall skill level.
U13-U18 Academy Reserve teams may participate in US Club Soccer’s National Premier League or FYSA's Florida State Premier League, statewide leagues that includes competitive teams from all over Florida. Members of Academy Reserve teams are eligible to be registered as Part Time Players on the rosters of Kendall SC's U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams. Teams that play in the Florida Premier League may qualify for the National Premier Leagues National Final.
Teams ages U13 and older also play in the FYSA State Cup (Division 1 Premier), President's Cup (Division 1) or Commissioner's Cup (Division 2). Starting in the fall of 2016, U9 and U10 teams play 7 players to a side on the field and do not have league or state championships. U11 and U12 teams play 9 players to a side on the field. U11 Div. 2 teams compete in the FYSA Commissioner's Cup at the end of the season. U12 teams compete in the FYSA President's Cup or Commissioner's Cup at the end of the season.
