Growing up, Rast had a two brothers including his twin, Matt and two sisters.Rast grew up in California where he played soccer with the Santa Clara Sporting Club. He attended Royal High School in Simi Valley, California. As a high school soccer player, he was a 1987–1988 Gatorade High School Player of the Year. After graduating from high school, he attended Santa Clara University where he played four seasons (1988–1991) as a defender under head coach Steve Sampson. His sophomore year, he was the captain of the Broncos as they made it to the NCAA championship game only to have NCAA officials name Santa Clara and their opponents University of Virginia co-champions after four overtimes. The next year, Rast suffered a knee injury which knocked him out of most of the season. However, in 1991, Santa Clara and Virginia met again in the NCAA title game. This time the game went through four scoreless overtimes before Virginia took the title in penalty kicks. On an individual level, Rast was named a first team All American in both 1989 and 1991.

While still in college, Rast was selected as a member of the U.S. U-20 national team at the 1989 U-20 World Cup. In that tournament, the U.S. took fourth place. Not only did Rast go to two NCAA championship games and take fourth in the U-20 World Cup, he also won a gold medal as a member of the U.S. soccer team at the 1991 Pan American Games. He then capped his career as a youth international as the captain of the U.S. soccer team at the 1992 Summer Olympics. This team did not experience the same level of success, going 1–1–1 and failed to qualify for the second round. The following year, he was part of the U.S. team at the 1993 World University Games.[1]
