RUSH WISCONSIN TEAM DESCRIPTION 2002 (U16) BOYS RUSH (Born January 1, 2002 – December 31, 2002)
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.
