Connecticut Rush

It is here that the Connecticut Rush found its footing in 2012. The club did not emerge as a professional enterprise but as a community anchor, launching with a simple skills clinic aimed at local youth. That modest beginning has since expanded into a structured senior operation, though the connection to its roots remains visible in its choice of venue.

While sources occasionally confuse the venue with those of rival AC Connecticut in Hartford, the Rush has maintained its own identity in the Greater New Haven area. This clarity matters in a league where distinction can be lost in the shuffle of expansion teams.

On the pitch, the women’s side has carved out a different trajectory. After joining United Women's Soccer in 2021, they moved to the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) in 2026, reaching the national final in 2025.

What the club lacks is the silverware that defines legacy. There are no championships to list, only the memory of a final appearance.
