Adoption of New Club Policies for 25–26 Season

GulfSouth RUSH Announces Adoption of New Club Policies for 2025–2026 Season

GulfSouth RUSH Soccer Club is proud to announce the official adoption of a comprehensive new set of club policies for the 2025–2026 season. These policies represent the collaborative efforts of the entire Board of Directors and Directors of Coaching, ensuring the most fair, balanced, and forward-thinking guidelines as we evolve from a grassroots program to a leading regional club.

 

This policy overhaul reaffirms our club’s unwavering commitment to player development, transparent operations, and maintaining the integrity of competition. Our leadership worked diligently to strike the appropriate balance between fostering young athletes and sustaining a culture of healthy competition—two ideals that don’t always align in the landscape of youth sports.

“Our goal is to create a soccer environment where development takes precedence without sacrificing the competitive edge that motivates and inspires players,” said Donald Fields, President – Board of Directors. “These new policies reflect that vision.”

A key message of the 2025–2026 policies is the importance of communication and resolution at the appropriate level. Any questions or concerns regarding playing time, training, or team-specific matters should be directed to the Director of Coaching: Player Development, Jayson Houp, who will work directly with team coaches to address and resolve issues constructively.

As the youth soccer environment continues to evolve—including anticipated changes such as the 2026–2027 national birth year restructuring—GulfSouth RUSH’s policies will remain dynamic and adaptable.

We encourage all members of the GulfSouth RUSH family—players, parents/guardians, and staff—to carefully review the full policy document, now available on our club website.

If you have any questions or need clarification, please get in touch with the President or Vice President of the Board of Directors, or reach out directly to our Directors of Coaching.

Together, we grow. Together, we play. Together, we win.
