Style of Play

The Rush Way to Play is based upon movement and activity by both player and ball. Possession-oriented does not fully describe how we play; attack-oriented does. Whether in possession or in defense, we are attacking. Rush Players play with freedom yet understand the importance of responsibility and the balance between the two. Rush teams are flexible and adapt to varying circumstances. The Rush Way to Play represents both passion and purpose. Stating this style of play is very important as it affects our coaching curriculum at all ages.

Club Commitment 

To the development of healthy youth through the game of soccer, with a firm belief in the value of sports in promoting the physical, mental and social well-being of our children.

Core Values 

At the Bantam age groups, our players, coaches, and supporters should be focusing on the 7 Rush core values highlighted below:

• Accountability

• Humility

• Enjoyment

• Passion

• Safety

• Tenacity

• Unity

Playing Time

Playing time for any individual is completely at the coach’s discretion. Rush encourages that playing time at all levels should be equal throughout the season. At the younger developmental ages, players should be exposed to as much of the game as possible. Limiting team roster size will aid in increased playing time for all players.

Player Position 

In the Bantam Division we believe every player should have the opportunity to experience all positions on the field. Players should not be stereotyped into specific positions because of speed, size or other qualities, but should experience the emotion and functions of all positions on the field. These experiences allow them to advance their soccer knowledge, raise their technical ability, and gives them opportunities to think as a field player, all of which raise the level of their position-specific demands.
