youth academy

The Youth Academy is for our U9 - U12 players who are interested in taking their development to the next level and want to proceed down the competitive pathway. To be selected players will have displayed the ability to play at a higher level through an assessment process. This program requires a higher commitment level from both the parents and the players. Through an assessment process, players will be invited to join the age group and team that will best meet the needs of the player.

About

The Youth Academy programs allow players to develop at an accelerated pace. These programs are designed to bridge individual player development and basic team aspects to prepare players for a smooth and fluid transition into our Girls Academy and Boys Academy at U13. Players are placed on teams at our seasonal Kickarounds, based upon current and potential skill level. The programs are tiered in premier, gold, silver, or bronze flights based on overall team ability. Our quality and experienced coaches bring energy and passion to every session.

The Youth Academy mirrors the Pro-Development Program which is focused on Rush’s Core Values and World Renowned Philosophy. Within the program you will learn our 11 core values, like respect, unity, enjoyment, tenacity, and passion. These core values are the base in which all Rush players will grow. In addition we have a program wide curriculum centered around Individual creativity/technique, discipline, and game understanding.
