frequently asked questions
Registration
How do I register my child and when?
All registrations are currently done through Playmetrics. You will need to register your child for our seasonal tryouts in order for them to attend and be evaluated. If they are offered a spot on a Rush team, you will receive an invite from Playmetrics to register for the team.
When does regular registration take place?
Registration for teams will take place directly after your player receives an offer letter from their respective coach. This is typically in June for year round players and HS Girls, and November for HS Boys.
What happens if I need to register late?
If you are joining the team after team formations have ended, you will need to contact our Club Admin to get your team invite. Late registration is allowed, as long as the coach has evaluated your player and decided they would be a good fit for the team.
How much does it cost to register?
Registration prices vary by team and birth year. Pricing can be found on the program's page.
What is included in registration fees?
Fees include the player registration fee for the state, 5 tournaments for year round teams and 3 tournaments for single season teams, league fees, summer training, fall training, indoor winter training, Playmetric Communication fees, and Veo Video fees.
Do you offer any scholarships?
Rush Wisconsin is proud to offer scholarships to those who need financial assistance. The application can be found on Playmetrics after registering your player. The application is an online form offered in both English and Spanish. This is located under “Club Programs” on the app and on the website.

Learning Playmetrics
The PlayMetrics app is incredibly user friendly and allows you to manage your account entirely on the app. As a player contact, you can view your players team(s) schedules, available programs, manage billing information, and so much more! On the app, you also have access to Club Resources.
How to manage your account
The account owner will be able to manage the account and billing options. You can edit your payment method and view upcoming charges. PlayMetrics allows ACH payments (payment using an account and routing number) at a lower service fee than paying by credit or debit card.
The account owner can add contacts to the account by clicking “Contacts”. It will have you enter their contact details and automatically send them an invite. Each contact should download the app on their phone if they want to be notified of the schedule and any communications. Players can have their own profiles seperate from parents if they have their own email address.
Each contact can select their communication/notification preferences in the app by clicking the Rush symbol at the top left side of the screen, then selecting Account, and Settings. It is recommended to recieve Push notifications and/or email notifications. This is helpful in the event that a training or game needs to canceled at the last minute so you are notified before leaving for the event.
Submitting financial aid
Our financial aid application can now be submitted completely online and is available in English and Spanish. To apply, select “Programs” and click the drop down arrow to select Financial Aid. Start your application by clicking the + button.
How to view your player schedule
Training schedules, game details, tournament details, and any events will be uploaded into your team’s PlayMetrics calendar. The team calendar is managed by the Team Manager and should be up to date at all times.
It is imperative that you are marking your player’s availability for any and all events so the coaching staff can prepare. You can respond with a simple “yes” or “no” by clicking the green check mark or the red X. If your player is injured or can only attend for a portion of the event, you can indicate that as well as add any comments.
