Club Announcements Opportunity for Credit or Refund to your Player’s Account - We are in need of volunteers for the Girl's Soccer Shootout this weekend. We will credit or refund $40 per shift to your player's SportsEngine account after completion of the event. If you have already completed your volunteer hours for spring, this would be an additional credit or refund to your account. This is a great opportunity for students to receive volunteer hours as well, so siblings may participate and we will sign off any hours needed. Click here to sign up !

They enjoyed a beautiful Saturday putting their skills to work in low-pressure games against teams they will see later this season in tournaments. February 22 - Coastal Rush Jamboree - The Coastal Rush Jamboree was a successful day of 2013-2015 teams playing in a new format to help prepare them for 9v9 and 11v11 games. Coaches refereed and provided teaching moments in real-time throughout the 60 minute games so that players could understand and improve their skills within the new format. Coastal Rush uses the Jamboree as a tool to prepare our home club players as they progress into 9v9 and 11v11 games.

A Note from Jessy Reboucas - Club Manager As teams gear up for the last half of the 2024-2025 season, I want to encourage everyone to embrace the changes that the spring brings. Over the fall and winter season, we welcomed new players, coaches, team managers, directors, and even newly-formed teams. The directors and I are continually impressed by this year’s PBFC Rush families who have taken many of these changes in stride and with a positive outlook. Because of this, we see the growth of not only the players, but in our club community, and expect this to continue in the springtime. On a personal note, I want to thank our team managers for all that they do behind the scenes for their teams. Not only are they vital to myself as Club Manager, but also to PBFC Rush as a whole. Please take a moment to recognize and thank them this season! Club Announcement Parent-Funded Tournament Deadlines - Tournament payment deadlines are here! If you have not submitted parent-funded fees for spring events yet, please refer to your Heja team chats for those fees which have been posted by your team manager. Due to sold out events and long waitlists, we ask that all parents take care of these payments so that teams do not miss out on early bird registration prices. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding! Kickin’ it with Coastal! - We are excited to announce the Kickin’ It Together fundraiser on March 22, 2025 at Laguna’s on Pensacola Beach!
