Where potential meets opportunity, for any club

Rush Consulting Services

What is Rush Consulting?

At Rush Soccer, our why is simple: grow the sport.

For over 25 years, Rush Soccer has operated, partnered, and built youth sports clubs across the U.S. and around the world. Along the way, we’ve learned where clubs thrive… and where they struggle.

Rush Consulting opens that knowledge to any club ready to evolve. With just over 3 million registered youth players in the country, our mission is to help raise the standards everywhere. Because growing the player base from 3 million to 10 million starts with stronger clubs.

Rush Consulting is built for clubs that want to level up with clarity, confidence, and data-driven direction.

We help clubs:

• Understand where they truly stand
• Benchmark against national standards and peer clubs
• Identify structural weaknesses and blind spots
• Improve programs, culture, operations, and governance
• Prepare for scale, stability, or M&A
• Build a stronger pathway for players, families, and staff

This isn’t theory. This is the same model we use to guide over 100 Rush clubs today.

Why Trust Rush?

Rush supports, manages, or operates over 150 clubs across every type of market—new, established, large, small, urban, rural. Our advantage is experience.  We know what works because we do this every day. Our insights come from running clubs, not from theory or guesswork. To grow the sport, we need to improve the environment players grow up in. Rush Consulting gives clubs a true benchmark, a non-biased picture of today, and a path to a better tomorrow.

What We Deliver

We will conduct an on-site visit or deep virtual audit, evaluating your club across key areas:

• Organizational structure + leadership alignment
• Player pathway + curriculum utilization
• Financial model + pricing structure
• Programming & calendar efficiency
• Registration systems + technology stack
• Culture alignment + retention strategy
• Brand strength + communications

After your review, your club receives a neutral 360° performance evaluation that includes:

Clear, honest, actionable—built to move your club forward.
