1. As stated last evening, CUSC is a successful club. Our goal would be to enhance, not
replace Chesapeake’s successful programs. We would carefully evaluate the programs
over the next year to ensure a successful transition.
TASL Issue
The plan would be for the Chesapeake Advanced based teams to remain in TASL. Participation
in TASL by a travel club is permitted currently as evidenced by Beach FC's participation (under
the NYSL name) in TASL. Accordingly, we see no reason why the request for continued
participation of Chesapeake Based teams would be denied. In the event it was, a potential
backup plan would be for the Virginia Rush - Chesapeake teams to play the Virginia Rush -
Virginia Beach based teams. If this occurs, we do not believe it will result in a reduction in the
opportunities for children to play at the advanced level. Below is a break down of this past year’s
Advanced teams for VA Rush.
U9 Boys 7
U9 Girls 7
U10 Boys 5
U10 Girls 8
U11 Boys 7
U11 Girls 6
U12 Boys 5
U12 Girls 7
U14 Boys 5
U14 Girls 5
U16-18 Boys 6
U16-18 Girls 5
Feeder Club Issue
We believe this potential merger allows access to higher league play (at two levels) above the
VSLI. It would allow additional opportunities for Chesapeake's best players to play in higher
leagues without having to change clubs. Our emphasis is on individual player development and
exposing our players to all the opportunities we can identify (ECNL/USSDA/VCCL/ODP/ Pre-
Academy programs). Our belief is that if individual player’s development occurs, the team’s
development and success occurs.
Over the course of the next year VA Rush Directors of Coaching will oversee the Chesapeake’s
players in training, train the Chesapeake teams (8 times for the next year and Fall of 2013 we will
train the teams 8 times per season) and evaluate players during matches. This interaction
between DOCs and players will develop a relationship to properly evaluate them throughout the
soccer year. In other words, we use the entire year (2 seasons in the case of younger kids) in
evaluating players at the appropriate level. As stated last evening, Rush players do not tryout in
two 2-hour sessions, they have been evaluated for a year and are placed on teams accordingly.
We believe evaluating the players over an entire season/year is a more consistent vehicle for
proper player placement then two 2-hour tryout sessions.
Training Resources
The VSLI teams receive the same level of exposure to our nationally licensed coaches as the
VCC/ECNL/Academy teams. We have a greater number of nationally A/B licensed coaches
which in turn helps the player development through training.

2. ECNL results
VA Rush does not only look at results, win/losses, goals for and against. It is about success
through development. Are our players getting better by competing against the best clubs in the
United States? Yes and our “results” get better each year. The level of play and player
development gets better each year. We should not look at the current season or even one year
from now. We have to look at our current U10 – U12 girls and developing them so when they
reach the ECNL ages, they are prepared to compete in the top league in the U.S. I am positive
that current Chesapeake players would be great additions to ECNL teams and raise the level. If
they have the ability to play at this level we will offer them the opportunity. We added two
Chesapeake players to the U14 girls last year and this year we are adding two more Chesapeake
players to the U15s. If players have the ability to play at the highest level, then they will have the
opportunity to without having to leave their club, VA Rush/VA Rush - Chesapeake.
1. We have had discussions with CUSC's Executive Board and feel CUSC is a viable club -
which is one of the reasons we desire to merge. Our travel teams have always played against
each other (not VCCL/ECNL/Academy) so we have seen almost all of CUSC’s travel players. We
have not evaluated the players except in cases where a specific coach has asked us to do so.
2. All Advanced and VSLI teams based in Chesapeake will remain intact. Players that have
the desire and are of high enough quality will have the option of joining our
VCCL/ECNL/Academy teams. Players/parents have the option of accepting or declining the offer
to play on one of these teams or can remain on the current team if that is their desire.
3. CUSC currently has a land lease with the City of Chesapeake. We do not anticipate any
problem renewing the lease when it expires as Chesapeake residents will continue to use the
fields at Centerville. All other field rental costs will be paid by Rush (Fall 2013) as you will be part
of the Rush organization, VA Rush - Chesapeake.
4. We plan on keeping all CUSC coaches who want to remain active. As stated last
evening, we require our coaches to be adequately licensed to ensure player development. We
think Chesapeake has a quality coaching staff in place and only look to enhance it by continued
coaching education. Again, our desire is to enhance, not replace the good things that are
happening in Chesapeake.
5. The pay structure for our club is similar to CUSC and is based on License, tenure,
success (not necessarily in wins/losses but player development), and the going "market rate" for
coaches. This is handled between Club’s Technical Director and Directors of Coaching.
6. Coaches are afforded many formal (license) and informal (clinics, DOC sessions) training
opportunities. License courses are offered to all Rush coaches and Rush pays for coaches to
attend.
7. Technical training is offered 8 times per season by our highly licensed Director's of
Coaching for current Rush players. We envision training Chesapeake based team 4 times per
season over the course of the next year and increase that to 8 times per season starting Fall
2013. All players, regardless of branch, can request additional DOC training through their
perspective DOCs.
8. Goalkeeper training is offered 8 times per season to Rush goalkeepers by our
Goalkeeping Director of Coaching. Our DOC Goalkeeping will train keepers 4 times per season
for the next year and increase that to 8 times per season Fall 2013.
9. All travel players receive written player evaluations at the end of the Fall and Spring
seasons. In addition to that we must also educate the parents, players and coaches that each

3. time the player attends practice and games he/she is receiving an oral evaluation from the coach
or DOC.
10. As stated above, we don't believe the TASL status will be impacted but this will be one of
the areas that are explored over the course of the next year.
