Why play for the Rush?

The Rush is a competitive club softball program founded in 2017. We are based out of the St. Francis area. We encourage multi-sport athletes. Our philosophy is to provide a single team focus with emphasis on team cohesion and communication with players about their development. The Rush compete in USSSA, USA, and NAFA sanctioned tournaments. We are a year-round program that competes in a fall league, winter league/tournaments, and 5-7 summer tournaments. Our club is reasonably priced as one of the lower cost club teams. We charge $1,300 for the full softball year, which starts in the fall and finishes in the summer. Payment plans are available.
