Rush Volleyball: Expectations for Tournament Travel
At Rush Volleyball, we believe that team unity and professionalism are key to success—both on and off the court. Here’s what we ask from our athletes and families when traveling for tournaments:
Arrival Time: To ensure athletes are fully prepared and ready to compete, we ask that athletes arrive in the tournament town by 5:00 PM the day before the tournament. Athletes who do not meet this expectation may need to sit out the first set of the first match on day 1 to allow time for adjustment.
Travel Timing: To make sure your athlete is at their best, we recommend extending the trip beyond the tournament’s end date rather than arriving early, so athletes don’t miss important practices leading up to the event.
Club Representation: When traveling, athletes should wear Rush gear—it’s all about looking sharp and representing our club in the best light. No pajamas or shirts with inappropriate sayings, will be allowed.

Club Travel
This year, we’re thrilled to offer Club Travel, which includes both the travel and stay for tournaments. This package provides numerous benefits for both athletes and parents:
For Athletes:
- Team Bonding: Traveling and staying with teammates builds stronger connections, creating lasting memories and improving team chemistry both on and off the court.
- Stress-Free Travel: All logistics—transportation, hotel bookings, and schedules—are handled by our club, allowing athletes to focus on their performance without the added stress.
For Parents:
- Convenience & Peace of Mind: If you're unable to take time off work or have limited availability to travel, signing up for Club Travel means your athlete will be in the safe hands of our experienced coaching staff and directors. You can rest assured knowing they’ll be supervised and cared for throughout the trip.
- Cost Savings: If you don't need to travel with your athlete, this option will save you money on travel and stay accommodations while ensuring your child’s safety and well-being is top priority.
- Stress-Free Logistics: No need to worry about booking flights, arranging car rentals, or securing hotel rooms—everything is taken care of for you!
Please note that the Club Travel package is an all-in option, meaning once signed up, there will be no refunds. We’ll have specific cut-off dates for sign-ups to help us coordinate everything smoothly, and we’ll send reminder emails as those dates approach.
Once sign-ups are closed and all reservations are made, itineraries will be provided to all parents. Until then, we kindly ask that parents refrain from sending emails asking for these details, as Ryan will be working hard to finalize all arrangements.
For any questions regarding Club Travel, Ryan Hertlein, will be in charge of all information and updates. You may contact her via email at Ryan@rushvolleyball.com
We’re looking forward to creating memorable experiences for both athletes and families, and ensuring every athlete has the support they need to excel!
