U9-U10 INTERMEDIATE

COLORADO RUSH INTERMEDIATE

Rush Intermediate teams are the next step in the Rush Pyramid as players move out of our In-House league and begin to play teams from other clubs, primarily in the Denver Metro area. In-House Club Kickarounds help our club create teams based upon current and potential skill level as well as geography.

U9-U10 teams are placed in Premier, Gold, Silver, Bronze or Recreational level flights within the Colorado Soccer Association Front Range League dependent on overall team ability. Because the Front Range League has so many divisions to play in, teams can be placed where they can find consistent levels of competition to match their teams level. 


PROGRAM DETAILS:

  • The Fall Season runs from late August through early November and the Spring season runs from the middle of March through the middle of May. Teams begin training 1-2 weeks prior to the first league game.
  • Games are played on Saturday in the CSA Front Range League (8 total games, 4 home and 4 away). Away games consist of traveling to opponent’s fields along the Front Range (Lakewood, Littleton, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Denver, etc.)
  • Intermediate Teams are coached by a Volunteer Parent(s) from the team.
  • Teams play 7 versus 7; 6 field players and a goalkeeper.

THE RUSH WAY

The Rush Way is the embodiment of all that is Rush Soccer. This not only entails what we do and how we do it, but the culture and standard that defines who we are as a soccer club. The rules and manner in which Rush members, coaches and staff hold themselves and how they expect other members to conduct themselves. The Rush Way encourages passion, leadership, respect, and above all, quality. This standard is evident in how the administrative organization is handled, the way our coaches instruct their players, and how our players and parents conduct themselves on and off the field. The Rush Way provides a system that supports the most efficient development of our players from the time they join the club to the time they graduate.

The Rush Way to Play is based upon movement and activity by both the player and the 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.

Our club mantra is “Where the trails of passion and purpose meet, begins the path to victory.”
