RUSH WISCONSIN TEAM DESCRIPTION 2000 (U18) Girls RUSH
RUSH WISCONSIN TEAM DESCRIPTION 2000 (U18) Girls RUSH (Born January 1, 2000 – December 31, 2000) TEAM FOCUS The goal is to have 18 players on the roster. The game format is 11 vs. 11 on a full -sided field. This is the first team at the age group. At these age groups the priority is to put together the best possible team. While preference will be given to form birth year specific teams, greater latitude is given to staff to form the best team. This could result in combined birth year teams being formed. The focus at these age groups is to help players advance onto college and play the game at the highest possible level while realizing their academic, social and leadership goals. Team tactics, functional/positional roles and responsibilities become a key area of emphasis all within the context of teaching players to compete with the expressed goal of teaching players to win games.

The WYSA premier league is the highest league offering within the State of Wisconsin. This group will compete against some of the top clubs within the state who do not compete in the Midwest Regional League. The level of competition is extremely high and the level of commitment on the part of the player must be commensurate with the expectations of the league and the club. The team will secure between 8-10 league games within the State of Wisconsin. The team can travel as far as Green Bay for a game but traditionally we will host half the league games at our home site in Middleton and the other half against competition in the Milwaukee area.
