The Madison Area Sports Commission (MASC) has announced that Rush Wisconsin, a prominent soccer club in Dane County, has been selected as a recipient of the MASC Youth Grant. The grant, totaling $500, will support the organization’s efforts in providing scholarships for Coaching Education Courses as part of its Emerging Coach Program for High School Girls.

“We are thrilled to receive this generous grant from the Madison Area Sports Commission,” said Jess Nash, Executive Director of Rush Wisconsin. “This funding will enable us to further invest in the development of young coaches and empower them to make a positive impact in our community.”

The Emerging Coach Program, an initiative of Rush Wisconsin, aims to identify and nurture promising young female coaches, providing them with mentorship, training, and resources to excel in their roles. Through this program, participants gain valuable experience working with youth athletes, honing their coaching skills under the guidance of seasoned professionals.

“Our Emerging Coach Program embodies our commitment to fostering the next generation of soccer leaders,” said Nash. “By investing in the development of young coaches, we not only enhance the quality of instruction for our players but also create pathways for future female coaching talent in our community.”
