Developmental Branch
Developmental Soccer
In any soccer organization, great or small, three pillars exist that determine the club's decisions, direction, and vision:
Coaching Administration Political
Any one pillar is not greater than another. The three pillars must co-exist and cooperate if a soccer organization is to succeed and reach its fullest potential. All pillars must communicate and work together in order to make decisions that allow for a club to move in a positive direction.
The Developmental Coaches manual is designed for our coaches in order to help bridge the three pillars; and, although this manual is certainly not all inclusive, hopefully it will give our members a solid foundation to build a healthy team and ultimately help develop the Rush players.
The Developmental Branch is divided into two divisions, the Micro Division and the Bantam Division. The Micro Division is for players from U6-U8 in which teams are formed mainly by geographical region. The Bantam Division is U9-10 and players are placed on teams by ability.
The following is a list of our programs that are either currently in place or will be implemented shortly:
- Soccer School
- Soccerfest
- Player Clinics
- Coaches Clinics
- Micro Soccer
- Future Stars
The purpose for the Developmental Branch is as follows: Rush is proud of its traditions of taking young and talented players to the next level. Some of the players that the club has helped grow and develop are now part of our national or professional teams in the country and/or around the world such as Aleisha Cramer, Wes Hart, Mark Lisi, Todd Donovant, Brian Mullen and Connor Casey to name a few.
- To promote the game of soccer in the community and provide a comprehensive and educational soccer program
- To provide a soccer experience that will meet our members needs and allow them to achieve their highest potential and thus become the best soccer club in the state, nation, and world
- To provide competent coaching and adequate physical facilities to the best of our ability
- To promote the spirit of sportsmanship and good physical and mental health associated with the game of soccer
The Rush, through a player first philosophy, has given kids of all ages a place to play and improve. The Developmental Branch allows each child to pursue his/her own goals, while building confidence and self-esteem.
