Every year in late May and early June, soccer clubs conduct their annual tryouts to place players on a team based on their abilities. Those tryouts take hundreds of man hours to look at hundreds, possibly thousands of players in a short period of time. While the majority of the players receive a phone call and are placed appropriately, many fall through the cracks, some can not attend these tryouts, and many are too nervous to show their true ability.

When we look at the athletes, we measure their technical and tactical abilities along with their physical and psychological attributes. A “two hour” tryout does not allow us to fully rate players accurately. For these reasons, the Rush do not hold tryouts for players in the Rush system. Players will be observed throughout the year and consequently placed more accurately within the Rush system. Evaluations will be based on the previously mentioned components in addition to attendance, attitude, team chemistry, and consistency, to name a few. Players from outside the club Girls and Boys U11 through U14 and U15 through U18 Girls will have Player Placement block period the day after Memorial Day thru June 14^th. The Boys High School U15 through U18 aged players will have a Player Placement block period October 25^th through November 15^th.

The Head Coach will select his/her team with the assistance of the Directors of Coaching of the Rush. Tryouts for players outside the club will take place during the two block periods previously mentioned. During any other time of the year, a Rush player may be asked to transfer, or may request a transfer to another Rush team. The Rush will transfer this player, only in certain circumstances such as injuries, player/coach conflicts, consideration to the implications of the entire age group, ability level, etc.

The main objective of the Rush Soccer Club is to develop soccer players at all levels. In order to do this, we must place players on a team commensurate with their ability. We believe the aforementioned philosophy will help us better accomplish our objective.
