A Note from Coach Lucas - New Academy Director
Dear PBFC Rush Families,
As our season comes to a close, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’m thrilled to step into the role of Academy Director and to continue building on the incredible foundation laid by Coach Kyle and Coach Kenny over the years. I look forward to collaborating with our talented coaches, players, managers, and parents this spring, and I’m confident we’ll have another fantastic season at PBFC Rush. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at lucas@coastalrush.com. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with family and happiness. I look forward to seeing everyone back in January!

Winter Break - PBFC Rush teams will be on Christmas break with no training or events from December 20 - January 12.

Parent-Funded Tournament Deadlines - In order to secure our teams’ spots for lower prices in increasingly sold-out tournaments, we are implementing a club-wide deadline to pay for parent-funded spring tournament fees by January 31, 2025. These fees will be located in your Heja chats and are based upon team budgets each season. Please refer to your Heja team chats for those fees which should be posted by your manager. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding!
PBFC Rush Golf Scramble Postponed - We have decided to postpone the Golf Scramble until next year, but are excited to be a part of the Coastal Rush Fundraiser at Laguna’s on Pensacola Beach that will take place during Spring Break. We will release more information about this event soon!
