    Really? It’s ok for a club to mislead parents into thinking that their daughters will play varsity soccer and contribute to a high school team that the club has no connection to?

    I would counsel the Rush coaches to avoid self promoting on this website. It won’t end well. I will say that as a new club they have made an impact on the Shoreline HS programs in the few short years of their existence. Maybe they continue or maybe the follow SCP down the soccer toilet, only time will tell. They do have a connection to Guilford, boys and girls. On the girls side they had 6-7 impactful players on the varsity and they have more coming through at the JV and younger ages. Don’t think anyone can dispute the numbers. On the boys side at Guilford the numbers are lower but the players are very impactful. Rush also has meaningful numbers at Hand HS, Branford, Morgan (Clinton), Lyme-Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and East Lyme. It’s interesting to note that East Lyme Girls were the Guilford opponents in the Class L State Final and their were several players from Rush on both sides of the ball.

      I would say the breakdown by club would be:
      Rush
      CFC
      Ginga
      SCP
      FSA

      There were no players on the varsity team that played meaningful minutes that did not play for a Premier club. Any team that has aspirations to win consistently must be stocked with year round players. Guilford had a mixture of quality players from several different clubs that contributed to their success. It’s worth noting that they did it while losing their coach mid season.

          Please save it. Rush has no impact players on the girls side. You are acting like there were Rush girls on all conference and all state teams making impacts. Weren’t the East Lyme girls from Southeast SC? The top Hand and Guilford girls were ECNL players at FSA and CFC. Rush management needs to get off the message boards and stop drawing attention to yourselves

            EG loves to bring attention to himself and his program. Sure he is on here bashing other local clubs. Heard he got in trouble openly recruiting other program kids.

              I think the whole point is to draw attention to your club. Many of the East Lyme players are, in fact, Southeast players. Teams in that part of the state used to be exclusively Southeast players. Now, a growing number of players in communities like East Lyme, L-OL, Old Saybrook, Stonington are migrating to Rush. It’s caused tension between the clubs and will likely continue as each club pushes to attract players. Guilford had two players that played CFC ECNL and one FSA ECNL. Hand had two FSA ECNL players and none from CFC ECNL.

                They’re not on southeast’s level - if your town program is good (or your town is one of the larger ones and as such has a large pool to draw from) your town program is likely superior. I’d imagine they’re a higher quality than Doca but not by much.

                  Southeast is the dominant club in this part of the state. Southeast will lose a couple of players to Oakwood every year but no one is leaving SSC for Rush. Rush is at same level as Doca and should be viewed as a training program.

                    Kids from SSC leave for the higher level CT Rush teams who play in the National League divisions.

                      Not sure what is misleading. The Guilford varsity roster had 13 Rush players on it. 3 Seniors, 6 Juniors and 4 Sophomores. That accounts for 50% of their roster. Several more players playing in the program at JV and Freshman level. Several other strong players representing several other clubs also represented on their roster.

                        Okay then. Let’s see how Guilford does next year when the CFC, FSA and Ginga players are gone and the team is mostly Rush players. My guess is that Cheshire and their Academica players and Hand and their FSA and CFC players will destroy you. See you in the fall

                          Cheshire moved on from Afc.

                            Shoreline FC is still a good club but based in Greenwich. They had a branch in North Branford but the director BJ was pushed out finally and decided to start his own club called Shoreline United. BJ use to have a seasoned staff of good experienced coaches but now he only has a few 20 somethings and one of them didn’t even play soccer. The guy Jamie is from Guilford but never even played for the HS or coached a town team. The guys a wanna be soccer player and coach. I feel bad that some parents have fallen for his sales pitch. RUSH is solid with experienced staff but they have a lot of weak teams so it depends on which one you are interested in. EG has grown the program well.

                              Most players bounce around from club to club now a days. Clubs can’t claim to produce many players anymore. Many of those Guilford players have played for 3 or 4 clubs in their really short careers. It’s a shame.

                                Rush 03 team is loaded with ridgefield players
                                And if shoreline is so slid why does GReenwich HS suck so bad?
