College Advisory Program (CAP)

At VSA Rush, we encourage our players to pursue their dreams and, for many of them, those dreams include playing soccer at the collegiate level. The players listed below have achieved this goal and we can’t wait to cheer them as they continue their soccer journey at colleges and universities around the country.

Our College Advisory Program is supported by dedicated full-time staff coaches. Cole Poppen is the designated CAP Director for VSA Rush GA players, while Fred Frimpong fulfills the role for VSA Rush ECNL players. Together, our coaching network spans the country, and we take great pride in assisting our players in finding the best fit for them both on and off the field. We recognize that playing in college is a significant achievement for any player.

We would be remiss to not mention the other clubs that have aided in these players’ development as we know that it is through our collaboration that we are able to continue to provide these opportunities for players across the state of Iowa.
