VSA Rush x MLS

Jackson Kirsch (2005) & Andrew Heckenlaible (2006) training with the Minnesota United FC Academy.

As our players continue to capitalize on opportunities to showcase their talents outside of VSA Rush, we made it a priority to find a coach to help guide them through this process.

Fred Frimpong will now be serving as our MLS Liaison and, in doing so, will be the point of contact for MLS Scouts, track VSA Rush player opportunities, get feedback on the players as they visit academies, network for new opportunities, and help to organize logistics for trips to MLS Academies.
