Why Florida Rush Soccer?
We believe that every player has the right to develop and compete in a fair, fun and safe environment under the oversight of a licensed referee. The game of youth soccer is growing, but the pool of referees is shrinking. Today more than ever, soccer club leaders need to proactively recruit new referees, support on-going education and provide opportunities to develop the next generation of officials.

FLSRC has established a process to ensure that every person who wishes to become a referee is afforded the opportunity to become registered and certified as a soccer referee with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).
