National 1 League
East Penn Rush Accepted into the National 1 League

East Penn Rush is excited to announce another major step forward for our Competitive Program with three teams officially accepted into the National 1 League (N1) for the 2026/27 season.
Representing East Penn Rush in N1 will be:
- U16 Boys N1 (Premier)
- U16 Boys Blue N1 (Elite)
- U15 Girls N1 (Premier)
The National 1 League provides our players with an opportunity to compete in a highly competitive environment while representing East Penn Rush against clubs from across the region.
For our players and families, participation in N1 is about more than a league schedule. It is another piece of the pathway we are continuing to build at East Penn Rush—creating opportunities for players to challenge themselves at higher levels while continuing their development within our club.
Our N1 teams will combine league competition with tournaments and showcase opportunities throughout the year, giving our players additional exposure to competitive environments and, for our high-school-aged athletes, opportunities to play in front of college coaches.
The inaugural National 1 season will also provide a postseason pathway, with qualifying teams having the opportunity to advance to the ECNL Conference League Playoffs & Finals in summer 2027.
Having three East Penn Rush teams participating in N1 is an exciting milestone for our club and reflects the continued growth of our Competitive Program.
We are proud of the players, coaches, families, volunteers, and supporters who continue to help move East Penn Rush forward.
Three teams. One club. A new level of competition.
Let’s Go Rush! 🔵⚪
