Rush Soccer Q1 Growth Update - Expanding the Game, Elevating the Network

Rush Soccer continues to grow with purpose. Every new club and partnership is about one thing: creating better opportunities for players, supporting coaches, and building strong communities connected through the Rush Way.

This quarter, we have taken another step forward. Through new club additions and key mergers, we are strengthening our network and creating more pathways for players at every level of the game.

New Clubs (Acquisitions)

• Carolina Rush FC joins the network in Spartanburg, South Carolina, under the leadership of Rick Parlow. With over 500 players, strong facilities, and a trusted presence in the community, the club brings a solid foundation. This partnership opens the door to more resources, stronger development, and new opportunities for every player.

• Grays Harbor Rush, located just east of Seattle, joins with around 200 players and a clear path for growth. This connection provides access to national competition, support from WA Rush, and opportunities that go beyond the local level. It is a great example of how the Rush network supports clubs in every environment.

• Natomas Rush marks our first step into the Sacramento area and strengthens our presence in Northern California. With approximately 250 players, the club is positioned to grow through strong leadership and access to the Rush platform. This is about building connections and creating more opportunities across the region.

• San Diego Rush enters one of the most competitive soccer markets in the country with momentum. With projections of reaching 800 players, the club is ready to make an immediate impact. This addition expands pathways for players and strengthens our presence in Southern California.

• Manitoba Rush becomes our third club in Canada, expanding into the Winnipeg area. With over 150 players already committed, this is an important step in growing the game internationally and bringing the Rush model into new communities.

• RGV Rush joins the network in the Rio Grande Valley with over 150 players and a clear mission to grow the game locally. In an area with limited club options, this club is focused on creating access, building structure, and opening new doors for players.
  

Club Mergers

• In Katy, Texas, CS Rush continues to grow by bringing together Lightning SC and FC Mustangs. This expansion adds nearly 500 players and strengthens the overall structure of the club. It shows how aligned programs can come together to create a better experience for players and families.

• Iowa Rush continues to lead by example. A successful partnership with Vision Soccer Academy has transitioned into a full merger, creating a combined player base of over 1000 players. With the addition of Apex Soccer and its 500 players, Iowa Rush is building one of the strongest club environments in the Midwest, driven by leadership and a clear development pathway.
  

Being part of Rush Soccer means more than joining a club. It means being part of a global network built on shared values, development, and opportunity.

From Rush Select to international experiences and coach development, the focus is simple. Give players the tools, the environment, and the pathway to grow.

This growth is not just about numbers. It is about creating better experiences, stronger communities, and more opportunities for players, coaches, and families.

We are proud to welcome these clubs into Rush Nation and excited for what comes next.

Welcome to the Rush Family!
