About Miami Futbol Academy Rush

Miami Fútbol Academy Rush serves players from the Kendall area through several county facilities, so the place named on a team page matters as much as the academy name. The academy’s facilities list includes Millers Pond Park at 13350 SW 47th Street, Westwind Lakes Park, Kendall Soccer Park and Miami Dade College’s Kendall campus for a separately announced futsal activity. The address shown at the top of this profile is Millers Pond Park; do not assume that every practice or match takes place there. Team-specific calendars and direct confirmation are essential before a family plans a weekly route.

The competitive pathway is boys’ soccer from the younger age groups through U19, with MLS NEXT listed for its older teams. Its published program page describes year-round development and league play; the academy site also lists an MLS GO recreational program for coed players ages 4–14. The current page shows a 12-week session running September 7–December 5, 2026, with Monday and Wednesday training, a Friday or Saturday game, a $200 fee and an MLS uniform. It says each session includes 60 minutes of training and one weekly game. Bird Lakes Park and Millers Pond Park are listed for MLS GO; confirm availability and the specific field before registering. MLS GO is a grassroots participation format, not proof that a child is connected to Inter Miami’s first team.

At the same time, Miami Fútbol Academy Rush’s MLS NEXT track is a more demanding choice. Families should ask about the player’s birth year, evaluation, weekly workload, travel to league games and the team’s exact practice site. These details are not interchangeable among age groups. The academy’s current schedule tools and registration pages are more dependable for those answers than a season-old tryout flyer. It also advertises a Free Friday Futsal activity at the Kendall campus; because events can change, check its current announcement and registration link.

The surrounding Kendall Soccer Park is one reason youth soccer clusters here. Miami-Dade County describes a 42-acre complex with five regulation artificial-turf pitches, a walking path, a fitness area, Teqball tables, concessions and small turf fields operated by Soccer5 USA. The County says programs hosted by outside groups operate independently from County recreation programming. A parent can use the park amenities while a child trains, but should confirm what is open and whether a team rents a particular field. Inter Miami CF, the region’s MLS club, now plays at Miami Freedom Park; that professional presence adds a local point of reference, not an affiliation with Rush or another academy.

For a younger player looking for regular technical practice at a neighborhood park, SFK Soccer Academy is another option at Kendall Soccer Park, field five. It lists a development program for ages 3–15, with three one-hour sessions each week, and competitive training for school-age players with three longer weekly sessions and weekend games. The academy says its season includes league play and several tournaments; its published program pages differ slightly on the youngest competitive age, so confirm the current team placement. Comparing Rush and SFK is not simply a choice between logos: it is a question of development pace, competition, commute, weekly time and total season expense.
