Delmarva Rush Soccer Club is proud to recognize the exceptional performance of its girls teams at the 2026 Baltimore Mania Girls Weekend, one of the premier spring tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic region. Hosted by Elite Tournaments, the annual event took place March 28–29, 2026, featuring hundreds of teams from across the East Coast competing in a championship-style format across multiple age groups. Leading the way for Delmarva Rush, the 2012 Girls team captured their division title for the second consecutive year , continuing to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the region. Their dominant performance throughout the weekend demonstrated strong technical play, teamwork, and resilience under pressure. In addition to their tournament success, the 2012 Girls are currently ranked #1 in the state of Delaware according to GotSport rankings — further reinforcing their position as one of the top-performing teams in the state. With their championship finish, the team also earned an invitation to an exclusive international training experience in London with Arsenal F.C.. This opportunity will allow players to train in a world-class professional environment and gain exposure to the global game. “This is an incredible achievement for this group,” said the team's Head Coach Scott Bleile. “To win this tournament back-to-back, be recognized as the top-ranked team in the state, and earn an opportunity like this speaks volumes about their commitment and growth.” Also making a strong impression was the Delmarva Rush 2017–2018 Girls team , the club’s youngest travel team and just in their second season of competitive play. The team secured a third-place finish with a 1-1-1 record, showcasing tremendous development, confidence, and competitiveness against more experienced opponents. “For such a young team, this result is something to be proud of,” said Head Coach, Sara Scheid. “They competed hard all weekend and showed how much they’ve grown in a short amount of time.” Delmarva Rush Soccer Club continues to build momentum on the girls side , reinforcing its commitment to developing players, competing at a high level, and creating meaningful opportunities both on and off the field.
