​​Rush Soccer and Altitude Soccer Academies Announce New Partnership

New York — Rush Soccer announced March 7th, 2022 that it will be partnering with the Altitude Soccer Academies program in Port St. Lucie, Florida, creating more pathways for players to succeed in the sport.

With the new partnership, Rush Soccer is excited to bring its top-level male athletes to the facility and begin to create a girls academy that will be added to the existing programming.

“We’re excited about creating a year-round residential academy for all of our Rush players. The Rush is all about creating more opportunities and helping them get to the next level,” Rush CEO and founder Tim Schulz said. “This type of intense training coupled with rigorous academics will give aspiring pro soccer players a chance to take their game to a much higher level.”

The program will remain under the direction of Soccer Hall of Fame coach Ferdinando De Matthaeis, who has led the boys academy at Club Med.

“We believe this collaboration will further enhance what we offer at Altitude Soccer. Combining world-class facilities and coaching with the expertise from Rush Soccer as the world’s premier youth soccer program is a great fit,” Altitude Soccer Academies owner Greg Breunich said.

Breunich, who served as the Senior Vice President and director at IMG Academy, has successfully started five academies with over forty years of experience leading every element in the club, resort, camp, academy, and education business.

Rush plans to manage competitive teams out of the academy for both boys and girls starting in Fall 2022.

Delmarva Rush Soccer Club is proud to recognize the exceptional performance of its girls teams at the 2026 Baltimore Mania Girls Weekend, one of the premier spring tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic region. Hosted by Elite Tournaments, the annual event took place March 28–29, 2026, featuring hundreds of teams from across the East Coast competing in a championship-style format across multiple age groups. Leading the way for Delmarva Rush, the 2012 Girls team captured their division title for the second consecutive year , continuing to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the region. Their dominant performance throughout the weekend demonstrated strong technical play, teamwork, and resilience under pressure. In addition to their tournament success, the 2012 Girls are currently ranked #1 in the state of Delaware according to GotSport rankings — further reinforcing their position as one of the top-performing teams in the state. With their championship finish, the team also earned an invitation to an exclusive international training experience in London with Arsenal F.C.. This opportunity will allow players to train in a world-class professional environment and gain exposure to the global game. “This is an incredible achievement for this group,” said the team's Head Coach Scott Bleile. “To win this tournament back-to-back, be recognized as the top-ranked team in the state, and earn an opportunity like this speaks volumes about their commitment and growth.” Also making a strong impression was the Delmarva Rush 2017–2018 Girls team , the club’s youngest travel team and just in their second season of competitive play. The team secured a third-place finish with a 1-1-1 record, showcasing tremendous development, confidence, and competitiveness against more experienced opponents. “For such a young team, this result is something to be proud of,” said Head Coach, Sara Scheid. “They competed hard all weekend and showed how much they’ve grown in a short amount of time.” Delmarva Rush Soccer Club continues to build momentum on the girls side , reinforcing its commitment to developing players, competing at a high level, and creating meaningful opportunities both on and off the field.
