#Step1

Coastal College Program

If your child is a Sophomore or older, they now have access to our Coastal Rush College Program. Players who are interested in playing soccer in college have the opportunity to get 1 one 1 support from the leadership team at Coastal Rush. There is a 3-step process in place to help members of all Coastal Rush Clubs. Use the button below to complete our College Program form, then we'll reach out to you to schedule a private 1v1 meeting.

Once all the paperwork, highlight video, and social media assets are completed, you will set up a time to meet with Coach Bill/Coach Felipe on the boys side. Coach Dustin/Coach Joe on the girls side. At this level, your player has done all the required work and the team at Coastal Rush can help put the player in touch with soccer programs that match their ability and school requirements. 

If you have any questions along the way, feel free to reach out to our College Coordinator, John-Michael. His information is below.
