Mississippi Rush United

Overview

Mississippi Rush United is the result of a 2020s three-club merger in the Jackson metro, combining Jackson Futbol Club, Mississippi Rush, and an additional Jackson-area club into a unified single entity “from a structural, operational, and cultural point of view.” Headquartered in Madison, MS. Operated by volunteers.

Financials

TBD. 990 filings for predecessor entities (Jackson Soccer Club Inc, etc.) exist on ProPublica but consolidated financials for the merged entity are pending a full filing cycle.

Teams & Players

Competitive programming across Metro Jackson.

League Affiliations

• ecnl (Girls) — the only ECNL club in Mississippi
• ecnl-rl
• mississippi-soccer-association state league

Facilities

TBD. Uses Madison/Jackson-area fields.

Leadership

Volunteer-run board.

Competitive Position

Sole ECNL club in Mississippi. Dominant in the Jackson metro. Small scale relative to peer regional ECNL clubs.

Investment Thesis

Primary Mississippi target. The ECNL designation is the single most valuable strategic attribute in Mississippi youth soccer. Volunteer governance may simplify a platform/management services acquisition vs a professionally-managed nonprofit.

Open Questions

• Consolidated revenue post-merger
• 990 filing status (may still be consolidating)
• Player count
• Facility ownership and/or lease terms
• Board/volunteer leadership succession plans
