The annual Rush for the Cup tournament is a tournament that attracts teams from talent rich Washington D.C. metro area and Region 1.
We take pride in sponsoring teams of all levels and believe that all players should have the opportunity to play soccer in a tournament. This tournament is a great opportunity for boys and girls to develop their soccer, teamwork and leadership skills.
Tournament Refund Policy (New for this year, 2020):
The Rush for the Cup will refund all tournament entry fees in full, less the cost of insurance, when the tournament is cancelled or postponed due to adverse weather conditions that result in an unsafe playing condition, so long as the cancellation or postponement is the sole and direct result of a cause not otherwise excluded. The cause of the cancellation or postponement must occur during the period of insurance and be beyond the control of both the tournament and the participant(s). Full refunds, less the cost of insurance, will only be applicable in the instance that no games have been completed. A partial refund may also be granted if a tournament is shortened due to reasons out of our control. Any partial refunds will be at the sole of the tournament and only after confirmation from the Insurers.
