All recreational leagues depend on volunteer parent coaches! Without them we have no league. We provide a small reward to rec head coaches by giving them a 50% discount on the fee for the child they are coaching. However, sometimes there are volunteer parent coaches that go above and beyond! We would like to take this opportunity to recognize one of them. Thank you to our new sponsor, Planet Fitness, who is providing the means for us to give a deserving volunteer parent a nice extra reward. Stacy Velleca currently coaches three of her kids’ teams through the Rush recreational program: Ruby is in U8 (2 nd grade), Cooper is in U12 (6th grade), and Laney is in U13 (7 th grade). Stacy has been coaching them every Fall and Spring for years. And she takes it very seriously. When she started coaching, she went out of her way to learn more about soccer and coaching, so that she could help the kids develop their skills and have fun. While her teams may or may not be ready to play in the World Cup, the players, and their parents both appreciate her. Her teams are usually full with all returning players season after season. Thank you, Stacy! For the time and effort you put into coaching! Thanks to Planet Fitness we are giving Stacy an annual Black Card Membership. So, if she can find any time for herself, she can stay in shape to more easily make it through all the practices and games! Thank you to Stacy and all of our volunteer coaches!!! Kansas Rush
