LINCOLN, NE. 18 September, 2024 - Hudl and Rush Soccer, the largest youth soccer organization in the world, have reached a historic agreement—ensuring that the country’s foremost development pathway for young footballers has a technology partner committed to its players' success.
Hudl will be the exclusive performance technology partner for Rush Soccer—which includes video, data and analytics on all of its 55,000+ athletes. Rush Soccer will integrate Hudl Focus Cameras, allowing member clubs the opportunity to capture and analyze every aspect of their games—whether home or away.
Additionally, Hudl will be the backbone for the launch of Rush Soccer TV—the club’s new hub for live matches, highlights and more. Hudl TV will provide livestreaming services for all of Rush Soccer’s centrally-owned and operated tournaments.
"Hudl is the perfect partner for Rush Soccer. Their overall technology platform allows us to scout and develop our players from around the world,” added Raoul Voss, Global Sporting Director for Rush Soccer. “With so many Rush players that are pushing themselves to get to the next level, Hudl will allow our sporting team to help them better. This couldn't be a better fit."
Rush is committed to creating a clear path forward for all its athletes, and the Hudl platform will strengthen and grow their efforts. The Rush Player Pathway has helped produce more than 5,000 collegiate athletes, 84 professional players and 21 national team prospects—including U.S. Soccer starlets Christian Pulisic and Lindsay Horan. By partnering with Hudl, every player within Rush will have the opportunity to gain valuable exposure through the integration of match video and data provided by Hudl.
“We are thrilled to announce this historic partnership with Rush Soccer,” said Rachel Krasnow, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Hudl. “It was clear from our very first conversations that their team is fully committed to giving every Rush athlete the shot they deserve, aligning perfectly with Hudl's mission. We’re excited to provide Rush Soccer the same cutting-edge video capture, analysis, recruiting, and streaming platforms trusted by the top soccer organizations at every level of the game.”
Krasnow added. “The introduction of a centralized Rush Player Pathway video library will elevate and streamline the talent identification process throughout the club, and we can't wait to play our part in the development of the next Rush Soccer rising star.”
