As stated last evening, CUSC is a successful club. Our goal would be to enhance, not replace Chesapeake’s successful programs. We would carefully evaluate the programs over the next year to ensure a successful transition.

TASL Issue

The plan would be for the Chesapeake Advanced based teams to remain in TASL. Participation in TASL by a travel club is permitted currently as evidenced by Beach FC's participation (under the NYSL name) in TASL. Accordingly, we see no reason why the request for continued participation of Chesapeake Based teams would be denied. In the event it was, a potential backup plan would be for the Virginia Rush - Chesapeake teams to play the Virginia Rush - Virginia Beach based teams. If this occurs, we do not believe it will result in a reduction in the opportunities for children to play at the advanced level. Below is a break down of this past year’s Advanced teams for VA Rush.

Feeder Club Issue

We believe this potential merger allows access to higher league play (at two levels) above the VSLI. It would allow additional opportunities for Chesapeake's best players to play in higher leagues without having to change clubs. Our emphasis is on individual player development and exposing our players to all the opportunities we can identify (ECNL/USSDA/VCCL/ODP/ Pre-Academy programs). Our belief is that if individual player’s development occurs, the team’s development and success occurs.

Over the course of the next year VA Rush Directors of Coaching will oversee the Chesapeake’s players in training, train the Chesapeake teams (8 times for the next year and Fall of 2013 we will train the teams 8 times per season) and evaluate players during matches. This interaction between DOCs and players will develop a relationship to properly evaluate them throughout the soccer year. In other words, we use the entire year (2 seasons in the case of younger kids) in evaluating players at the appropriate level. As stated last evening, Rush players do not tryout in two 2-hour sessions, they have been evaluated for a year and are placed on teams accordingly. We believe evaluating the players over an entire season/year is a more consistent vehicle for proper player placement then two 2-hour tryout sessions.

Training Resources

The VSLI teams receive the same level of exposure to our nationally licensed coaches as the VCC/ECNL/Academy teams. We have a greater number of nationally A/B licensed coaches which in turn helps the player development through training.

ECNL results

VA Rush does not only look at results, win/losses, goals for and against. It is about success through development. Are our players getting better by competing against the best clubs in the United States? Yes and our “results” get better each year. The level of play and player development gets better each year. We should not look at the current season or even one year from now. We have to look at our current U10 – U12 girls and developing them so when they reach the ECNL ages, they are prepared to compete in the top league in the U.S. I am positive that current Chesapeake players would be great additions to ECNL teams and raise the level. If they have the ability to play at this level we will offer them the opportunity. We added two Chesapeake players to the U14 girls last year and this year we are adding two more Chesapeake players to the U15s. If players have the ability to play at the highest level, then they will have the opportunity to without having to leave their club, VA Rush/VA Rush - Chesapeake.

1. We have had discussions with CUSC's Executive Board and feel CUSC is a viable club - which is one of the reasons we desire to merge. Our travel teams have always played against each other (not VCCL/ECNL/Academy) so we have seen almost all of CUSC’s travel players. We have not evaluated the players except in cases where a specific coach has asked us to do so.

2. All Advanced and VSLI teams based in Chesapeake will remain intact. Players that have the desire and are of high enough quality will have the option of joining our VCCL/ECNL/Academy teams. Players/parents have the option of accepting or declining the offer to play on one of these teams or can remain on the current team if that is their desire.

3. CUSC currently has a land lease with the City of Chesapeake. We do not anticipate any problem renewing the lease when it expires as Chesapeake residents will continue to use the fields at Centerville. All other field rental costs will be paid by Rush (Fall 2013) as you will be part of the Rush organization, VA Rush - Chesapeake.

4. We plan on keeping all CUSC coaches who want to remain active. As stated last evening, we require our coaches to be adequately licensed to ensure player development. We think Chesapeake has a quality coaching staff in place and only look to enhance it by continued coaching education. Again, our desire is to enhance, not replace the good things that are happening in Chesapeake.

5. The pay structure for our club is similar to CUSC and is based on License, tenure, success (not necessarily in wins/losses but player development), and the going "market rate" for coaches. This is handled between Club’s Technical Director and Directors of Coaching.

6. Coaches are afforded many formal (license) and informal (clinics, DOC sessions) training opportunities. License courses are offered to all Rush coaches and Rush pays for coaches to attend.

7. Technical training is offered 8 times per season by our highly licensed Director's of Coaching for current Rush players. We envision training Chesapeake based team 4 times per season over the course of the next year and increase that to 8 times per season starting Fall 2013. All players, regardless of branch, can request additional DOC training through their perspective DOCs.

8. Goalkeeper training is offered 8 times per season to Rush goalkeepers by our Goalkeeping Director of Coaching. Our DOC Goalkeeping will train keepers 4 times per season for the next year and increase that to 8 times per season Fall 2013.

9. All travel players receive written player evaluations at the end of the Fall and Spring seasons. In addition to that we must also educate the parents, players and coaches that each

time the player attends practice and games he/she is receiving an oral evaluation from the coach or DOC.

10. As stated above, we don't believe the TASL status will be impacted but this will be one of the areas that are explored over the course of the next year.
