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 joining the Virginia Beach Soccer Club. The club adopted the Rush name and the Rush Way. Rush Soccer has grown to 22clubs across the United States 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 Socccer 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.
