The Rush Way to Play represents both Passion and Purpose!

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.  

​

• Players are to be comfortable with a possession-based passing game, where the team will look to try and play out fro the back in a coordinated and controlled manner that is developed through the thirds in order to produce goal scoring opportunities. 

• Players will look to recognize opportunities to play forward and execute counter-attacking opportunities where possible, but not at the expense of losing possession. 

• Players will, upon losing possession, look to immediately regain possession by sending from the front as a preferred option, or to drop and establish a compact defensive shape when unable to do so. 

• Above all, our teams are expected to display a competitive and winning mentality - winning games is of importance; however, this is not at the expense of the playing philosophy.
