New Tournament Partners

Rush Soccer announces two new tournament partners and a new deal with an existing one

 

 

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Rush Soccer has secured two new tournament partners, which will assist clubs with elements of travel and apparel, according to Rush Director of Tournaments Steve Lovgren.

Pellucid Travel has been designated as the official housing partner for Rush Soccer and will be providing housing services for member clubs for their events.

“We’re excited to be working with Rush clubs in providing world-class service for their teams and participants in upcoming events,” said Shannon Barrows, the CEO, and owner of Pellucid Travel.

“Given the amount of experience Pellucid Travel and its connections with local Convention and Visitors Bureaus, we think this group is going to help Rush clubs take their tournaments to the next level,” Lovgren said.

Simax Sports is the other new tournament partner, an on-site heat press apparel company with a great reputation for superb customer service and a proven track record of good experience for tournament participants. The Atlanta-based company will be providing screen print t-shirts and other apparel from Capelli, Rush’s exclusive clothing partner, at upcoming events.

“We look forward to providing quality products and great service at Rush tournaments in the future,” said Yuriy Radchuck, Simax Sports CEO and founder.

“The kicker is that Simax will be carrying Capelli gear at all Rush events,” Lovgren said. “This will be a great way to provide support to another partner that has supported Rush so fervently over the years.”

Lovgren also shared that Rush has renewed its contract with Wilson Trophy Company, which will be providing discounted awards. However, new to the agreement will be Wilson Trophy providing co-branded items for winners’ circles, including backdrops, wind feathers, frame pop-ups, mesh banners, and other items to elevate the award ceremony environments.

A Note from Jessy Reboucas - Club Manager As teams gear up for the last half of the 2024-2025 season, I want to encourage everyone to embrace the changes that the spring brings. Over the fall and winter season, we welcomed new players, coaches, team managers, directors, and even newly-formed teams. The directors and I are continually impressed by this year’s PBFC Rush families who have taken many of these changes in stride and with a positive outlook. Because of this, we see the growth of not only the players, but in our club community, and expect this to continue in the springtime. On a personal note, I want to thank our team managers for all that they do behind the scenes for their teams. Not only are they vital to myself as Club Manager, but also to PBFC Rush as a whole. Please take a moment to recognize and thank them this season! Club Announcement Parent-Funded Tournament Deadlines - Tournament payment deadlines are here! If you have not submitted parent-funded fees for spring events yet, please refer to your Heja team chats for those fees which have been posted by your team manager. Due to sold out events and long waitlists, we ask that all parents take care of these payments so that teams do not miss out on early bird registration prices. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding! Kickin’ it with Coastal! - We are excited to announce the Kickin’ It Together fundraiser on March 22, 2025 at Laguna’s on Pensacola Beach! In partnership with Coastal Rush, each Home Club has the opportunity to win team prizes, individual cash prizes, and fundraise for their own Home Club.

Academy Homework Scorecards - Our Academy Director Lucas is introducing Homework Scorecards to our U8-12 teams. This is a fun and easy way for your player to get more touches on the ball outside of training! Scorecards and instructions will be released in team chats this month. Player & Coaching Highlights Snow Week in Florida! - Last week the Gulf Coast experienced an unprecedented day of snow, with some areas seeing up to 10 inches!
