Delaware Rush Soccer Club’s Board of Directors has approved affiliating with Rush Soccer. Growing from the Colorado Rush, Rush Soccer is a nationally recognized youth soccer organization with over 40,000 players in 26 states. Rush has a cooperative system to share training / coaching systems, strong / proven player development programs and expanded player / team opportunities. Vision: Soccer For All. Delaware Rush’s Mission: Promote the sport of soccer to a wide range of participants. Rush Soccer’s Commitment: The development of healthy youth through the game of soccer, with a firm belief in the value of sports in promoting the physical, mental and social well-being of our children. After a thorough review, Delaware Rush's Board is convinced that these two philosophies dovetail, and that the national affiliation available from Rush Soccer provides club members with development and playing opportunities beyond what we can provide alone. Since its inception in 1989, Delaware Rush has prided itself on our strong ties to local area families, schools and businesses. That will remain. The Delaware Rush Board views this evolution of the club as an enhancement to the programs we offer to our community. Rush Soccer's objective is development of a national level club cooperative system that offers substantial opportunities for national corporate sponsorship and foundation support, provides the framework for a national coach and player development network, and serves as a significant pool of talent for consideration by European, MLS, NCAA, US National and Olympic soccer programs. At HSC (and going forward as Delaware Rush) we strive to develop our players to have opportunities to play at any level. This partnership will increase those opportunities for our players. The RUSH WAY equals SUCCESS!
