The Akita Story U11 The NM Rush Akitas began as a U5 team playing for Alameda and are now a U10 team playing for NM Rush. The team plays in the Duke City Soccer League (DCSL).
In two years (U5 & U6) playing in Northwest Rio Grande Soccer League (NWRGSL) the Akitas only lost two games by one goal each. Including the recreational tournaments played, the Akitas record during the Alameda years was 37-2-2. During the 2006 season of DCSL play the U7 Akitas went 12-4 losing four close games to older U8 teams.
During the U8 season the Akitas won the Rio Vista Open, the Turkey Shoot, and the United Cup Tournaments as well as going undefeated in DCSL play. To end the year the Akitas played in the Sandia Cup and competed in the U9 bracket coming closing in several games but not medaling.
During the Spring season (U9) the Akitas had their 28 DCSL game unbeaten streak stopped in a 1-0 loss. Remarkable run.
In six years (U5-U10), the Akitas record including tournaments is 122 (wins) 31 (loses) 11 (ties).
During the 2008/2009 season the U10 Akitas won the Rio Open, took 3rd in the Whole Enchilada, won the NM Rush Cup, and won the Durango Shootout. Additionally, the Akitas went unbeaten going 12-0-4 during the entire U10 DCSL season.
