“Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
What is the Rush?
   •   The cross country affiliation of Rush Soccer clubs began with the Virginia Rush 
       Soccer Club and the Colorado Rush.  The Virginia Rush Soccer Club formation 
       is the result of players from 3 area clubs (Atlantic Soccer Club, Lafayette 
       Soccer Club and BayRivers Soccer Club) joining the Virginia Beach Soccer 
       Club.  The club adopted the Rush name and the Rush Way.   Rush Soccer has 
       grown to 27 clubs across the United States plus multiple International Rush 
       clubs, with planned growth in the future. 
       The Virginia Rush is the only soccer club in southeastern Virginia to have 
       developmental, advanced, competitive, and adult and many other 
       programs under one club.  The club currently has 6,000+ players participating 
       in a variety of programs. The Virginia Rush has become a model club in 
       Virginia.  The work of the elite staff has provided benefits to the players early 
       on as well. Since their inception in September of 2003, the Virginia Rush 
       has two state cup championship teams, two finalist, and 10 teams advance to 
       the final four.
   •   The benefits of the Rush Soccer are being realized by the players and the 
       coaches.  2006 saw two Directors of Coaching from Virginia Rush transfer to 
       Colorado Rush and Kansas Rush as full time staff members.  In 2008 Va Rush 
       Technical Director and one DOC transferred to Texas Rush. The Virginia Rush 
       Soccer Club has a full time staff of 8 Directors of Coaching, 3 holding USSF A 
       Licenses, 3 holding USSF B Licenses. One Director of Coaching on US Soccer 
       National Education staff and two are on the VA State Education Staff and Six 
       are involved in Virginia ODP and Region 1 ODP.  
   •   Virginia Rush is a regional soccer club whose distinctive geographically based
       Branches help players fulfill their potential.

“Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
Open Discussion
       How can the merger benefit Chesapeake player and coaches?
       The best players, no matter where they come from, are placed on teams
         accordingly. VCCL, ECNL, USSDA teams are made up of players from
         all of Hampton Roads not just Va Beach. Our top teams play in regional
         and national leagues and players deserving of this level of play are
         placed on these teams. All other players will be playing in VSLI. There is
         a place for all players to play based on their ability level and the
         individual player’s needs.
       DOC training for players and formal and informal coaching education for
         coaches. Players receive training from DOCs who are A license/B
         license coaches. Coaches receive additional training through the US
         Soccer coaching curriculum as well as ongoing coaches training
         provided by Rush DOCs.
       League Structure: USSDA, ECNL, VCCL, VSLi, Advanced, Developmental
         Future: League acceptance into a league between USSDA/ECNL and
         VCCL. Raise the level of play for the players.
       Chesapeake keeps their identity and Geographic presence by retaining the
         existing infrastructure. (VA Rush has successfully done this before with
         the Peninsula).
       Soccer in the area will benefit. The customer- the player!


“Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
Questions and Answers
   •   Branch Offices: Peninsula office, VA Beach office, Chesapeake office
       (future).
   •   Teams are branch and regionally based. Peninsula Branch, VA Beach
       Branch and Chesapeake Branch will all have teams playing in the VSLI.
       USSDA/ECNL and VCCL teams are based regionally but have players from
       Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk playing for them (9% of
       current VA Rush players are from Chesapeake). Players with the ability
       level are offered positions to play on our top teams. They can accept this
       position or can continue to play for the branch based team.
   •   Chesapeake players (like Peninsula players) will continue to have team
       training session in Chesapeake and Rush Directors of Coaching will conduct
       DOC training for these players in Chesapeake at a Chesapeake location.
   •   Merging of the clubs provide more opportunities for top players to play in the
       two top national leagues (ECNL/USSDA) as well as VCCL. This affords
       current Chesapeake players to play up two leagues higher than what they
       are playing in now. Players do not have to leave Chesapeake/Rush to
       compete in these leagues.
   •   Coaching Expectation: Travel/competitive coaches are required to obtain
       USSF National Licenses. Advanced and recreation coaches are also
       required to attend USSF license programs. Rush pays for it’s coaches to
       attend the USSF Licenses. All coaches are welcome to attend any and all
       continuing coaching education session held by VA Rush and it’s staff.



“Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
Question and Answer (cont)

   • All Rush players receive seasonal player evaluations from their
     coaches/DOCs
   • A Full Time Rush DOC (Va Rush – Chesapeake Technical Director)
     will be put in charge of the VA Rush Chesapeake to ensure all
     programs, information and the Rush Way is passed onto all
     Chesapeake players and coaches, from competitive/travel all the
     way down to PEE WEE (recreational players).
   • VCCL votes. For the record, VA Rush voted to add Chesapeake to
     the VCCL. It is what is best for the soccer community.
   • VA Rush (both on the Southside and Peninsula) are a complete club
     supporting soccer from our recreational players (U4-U10),
     Advanced players (U9-U19) and competitive players (U10 – U18).
     Chesapeake will have the same benefit as the other two branches

                  becoming the best soccer club in the nation.

  • 14. Open Discussion How can the merger benefit Chesapeake player and coaches? The best players, no matter where they come from, are placed on teams accordingly. VCCL, ECNL, USSDA teams are made up of players from all of Hampton Roads not just Va Beach. Our top teams play in regional and national leagues and players deserving of this level of play are placed on these teams. All other players will be playing in VSLI. There is a place for all players to play based on their ability level and the individual player’s needs. DOC training for players and formal and informal coaching education for coaches. Players receive training from DOCs who are A license/B license coaches. Coaches receive additional training through the US Soccer coaching curriculum as well as ongoing coaches training provided by Rush DOCs. League Structure: USSDA, ECNL, VCCL, VSLi, Advanced, Developmental Future: League acceptance into a league between USSDA/ECNL and VCCL. Raise the level of play for the players. Chesapeake keeps their identity and Geographic presence by retaining the existing infrastructure. (VA Rush has successfully done this before with the Peninsula). Soccer in the area will benefit. The customer- the player! “Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
  • 15. Questions and Answers • Branch Offices: Peninsula office, VA Beach office, Chesapeake office (future). • Teams are branch and regionally based. Peninsula Branch, VA Beach Branch and Chesapeake Branch will all have teams playing in the VSLI. USSDA/ECNL and VCCL teams are based regionally but have players from Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk playing for them (9% of current VA Rush players are from Chesapeake). Players with the ability level are offered positions to play on our top teams. They can accept this position or can continue to play for the branch based team. • Chesapeake players (like Peninsula players) will continue to have team training session in Chesapeake and Rush Directors of Coaching will conduct DOC training for these players in Chesapeake at a Chesapeake location. • Merging of the clubs provide more opportunities for top players to play in the two top national leagues (ECNL/USSDA) as well as VCCL. This affords current Chesapeake players to play up two leagues higher than what they are playing in now. Players do not have to leave Chesapeake/Rush to compete in these leagues. • Coaching Expectation: Travel/competitive coaches are required to obtain USSF National Licenses. Advanced and recreation coaches are also required to attend USSF license programs. Rush pays for it’s coaches to attend the USSF Licenses. All coaches are welcome to attend any and all continuing coaching education session held by VA Rush and it’s staff. “Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
  • 16. Question and Answer (cont) • All Rush players receive seasonal player evaluations from their coaches/DOCs • A Full Time Rush DOC (Va Rush – Chesapeake Technical Director) will be put in charge of the VA Rush Chesapeake to ensure all programs, information and the Rush Way is passed onto all Chesapeake players and coaches, from competitive/travel all the way down to PEE WEE (recreational players). • VCCL votes. For the record, VA Rush voted to add Chesapeake to the VCCL. It is what is best for the soccer community. • VA Rush (both on the Southside and Peninsula) are a complete club supporting soccer from our recreational players (U4-U10), Advanced players (U9-U19) and competitive players (U10 – U18). Chesapeake will have the same benefit as the other two branches “Where The Trails Of Passion And Purpose Meet, Begins The Path To Victory.”
