Our story

Built together

Two foundations.
One future.

Vale Rush United was established in 2026 when Vale SC and CT Rush came together around a shared goal: create the strongest and most professional player pathway possible by uniting their aligned development philosophies and frameworks in one connected environment.

By bringing together coaches, players, leagues, facilities, and competitive opportunities, Vale Rush United supports every stage of the journey—from a player's first grassroots experience through regional and national competition and into senior teams. The club is built to compete with the highest standards while ensuring every player and family across the full Vale Rush United pathway is supported.
