So no affiliation with Washington Rush?

Not between them. But each bought a franchise (they call them affiliates) from the same “mother ship”, even though they don’t call it a franchise. Each rush affiliate pays money to the mothership and then there is some kind of sharing of the money between all of the various affiliates based on provisions of the Rush Constitution. It’s built like a small country’s government or the governing body of a religious cult.

”Since 2013, the club has operated under the “Rush Soccer Constitution,” a document that looks to the U.S. Constitution to outline the various powers of the national and state branches, checks and balances, and how laws and budgets are created.

The Powers of Rush are clearly identified in Articles XI through XVIII. Power in the organization is divided into three branches: the House of Representatives (with each partner club receiving one vote), the Board of Directors (9-15 members who serve five-year terms and are nominated and elected by the House), and the President.

The Rush Soccer Constitution takes into consideration the powers of the President (Articles XIV and XVI), the roles and responsibilities of the Judicial Branch (Article XVIII), and proportional representation and voting within the House (Article XV). It also outlines the powers and rights of international clubs called UN Clubs, how Amendments are passed (Article XXI), how income is split among the respective clubs (Articles XXVI-XXIX), and the powers of the partner clubs (Article XX).
