Oregon Rush Soccer Club announced that it will be fielding a Women’s Premier League Soccer Team in 2011, and will feature the Trusted Sports Foundation as their official non-profit partner. The partnership will focus on motivating kids to thrive in life through sports participation. As part of a new fundraising initiative called “Kids In The Game,” these two organizations are working together to ensure youth from all walks of life have opportunities to engage in athletics.
As the newest member of the WPSL, Oregon Rush will be bringing together current and former Rush players, as well as ex-collegiate players who reside in Central Oregon. The team is for current high school, college and older women, and is part of the largest women’s soccer league in the United States. “We have an incredibly talented team, and a good mix of youthful enthusiasm and experienced players who play at a very high level,” stated Oregon Rush Head Coach and Executive Director John O’Sullivan. “We are thrilled to offer a top level experience for our current and former players, and a place for top collegiate players to spend their summers and play a very high level of soccer.”
Rush is also using their new women’s team to raise the visibility of sports as a critical positive developmental tool for the next generation of Americans. The team will be wearing the “Kids In The Game” logo on their jerseys to highlight their commitment to providing sports opportunities to all children regardless of experience, ability, and finances.
