In April of this year, it was announced that Rush Soccer is partnering with a Boarding High School and College Preparatory School to provide additional opportunities for Rush players to excel on and off the field. The boarding high school, Combine Academy, is located in Charlotte, North Carolina and Combine Rush will be open for enrollment to Rush players beginning August 2020.
Combine Academy has a globally established reputation for propelling athletes to the next level, as well as making a positive and unforgettable impact on players’ lives. Combine Academy has become an invaluable resource for players looking to take their game to the next level.
Combine Academy is an international Boarding School and Professional Performance Center that offers a comprehensive, all-inclusive solution for obtaining an elite academic education, professional level sports training, and consulting and advising to take players’ academic and athletic career to the next level.
Rush Soccer’s Director of International Affairs, Tiago Calvano, states, “This is a big step for our players. Both Domestic and International Rush players have an opportunity to now train in a unique environment that can and will produce top players. They now have the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which enables Combine Rush to issue I-20s, allowing students to apply for the VISA. This is a great step for the program and future of Rush.”
President of Combine Academy, Jonah Baize, expressed his excitement in April about the new venture between the boarding school and Rush Soccer:
“We are thrilled to announce our official partnership with Rush Soccer. As a global industry leader in club soccer with locations in over 90 cities, the Rush brand has a worldwide reach, a tremendous leadership team, and invaluable access to top talent. With the solidification of this joint venture, Combine Academy becomes the exclusive educational partner and boarding school for Rush Soccer’s aspiring student-athletes. Enrollment for student-athletes will be available for an August 2020 start date. The Combine Rush Academy is eager to offer an amazing service to our clientele and we are excited to get started next fall!”
