Accountability Chart

Accountability Chart

RUSH ACCOUNTABILITY CHART

Below is a chart that upholds the Rush Core Value of Accountability by helping clubs develop and grow.  The chart outlines the calendar year requirements from National to our partner clubs. These are all important pieces of a club’s operations over the course of the year. The Accountability Chart will allow clubs to view requirements dates and deadlines in advance to help them submit information on time.  The chart will be color-coded as seen below in the key to reflect the status of each requirement by State.  The Accountability Chart will tie in closely with the Rush Club Levels program.  Refer to the Partnership Rebate Chart to view clubs’ savings through our Sponsors & Partners.

Clubs are responsible for keeping their contacts updated in the SPI Club Dashboard. This is the one-stop-shop to find contact details about all Rush Partner clubs.

*A club’s NTD has the authority to alter a grade with the program manager if need be.

** N/A above stands for Not Applicable. Club joined the Accountability Chart Program after N/A is listed above. All previous items are also considered N/A and will not be graded or counted against the club.

Please review the Accountability Chart Policies & Procedures as some policies have been updated.

Registration Fields

In order to better serve our membership, Rush Soccer will request player registration information in order to build a specific distribution list for more efficient communications. The information will be collected and uploaded into an online database for use to communicate with membership.  As approved by vote during the Rush Summit in 2015, all Rush member clubs will submit data to SPI from your current registration system platform. These files will be collected and used by Rush Soccer to provide essential club information for Rush members. All members will have the option to safely unsubscribe from these emails if they wish to do so.

Twice a year, each member club will download their membership’s registration information into an Excel spreadsheet or CSV (Comma Separated Values). The member club will include all competitive and recreational players. If you are submitting for multiple clubs please keep them on separate spreadsheets to avoid confusion. These files will be collected and sent through the SPI-preferred Communication Platform and not shared with any outside entities. Details can be found in this document Mass Communication usage:

There will be an email reminder request with all the details on the adjacent schedule.

Coach's Gear Forecast

Each year, SPI’s uniform committee works with Capelli to create the Rush Soccer coaches gear line for the following year.  There will be some mandatory items and some optional.  Coach’s gear forecasts will be collected once a year.  The SPI program manager will provide each club with its order form and total dollar amount.  The promo coach’s gear amount is based on a club’s uniform forecasts/purchases.  If a club does not submit its forecast on time, the program manager has the ability to submit it on that club’s behalf.

Your Coach’s Gear Forecast submission will be requested via email with an attached document with an email reminder request schedule as follows.

For more information contact Alex Palacios.
