What is the Rush philosophy on player development and positions for this age group? *

10 points

Rush believes that coaches should determine positions based on the players size, speed, and maturation stage.

Players should not be stereotyped into specific positions because of speed, size or other qualities. As they get immersed in this age group and above, players start specializing in the positions that maximize their abilities and don't overexpose their weaknesses. We still suggest to develop players in two positions, having at least one alternative to their main role on the team.

Rush believes that players should equally experience playing every position on the field. Coaches should have a scorecard and track along the season the time that a player has spent on each position with the objective of equalizing it among all.

The Rush Way considers that coaches should form their starting 11's for matches with those players that never miss practice. *

10 points

True, as those that miss practice are showing a lack of commitment.

False, practice and game attendance is optional for all levels of player within the Rush Organization. Playing other sports and multiple sports at the same time is the choice of the family and zero repercussions will be administered the coaching staff. Players who wish to become better and succeed within the game will attend all practices and games with the attitude of wanting to leave a better player. This is a reflection of our core value Accountability.

Training maximal strength is now encouraged, differently from the younger age groups. *

True, now they can and should work on their maximal strength

False, the younger age groups could work on maximal strength as well.

False, maximal strength is discouraged and considered unspecific for the sport.

Required

The Rush Way suggests pre game routines that include a global body warm up, followed by an activity to review a concept fresh on the player's minds. Leaving at the end a few minutes for the players to warm up freely is also advisable. Keep the entire warm up period between 15 and 30 minutes. *

Required

One of the vital aspects of coaching this age group relies on making sure you don't judge your players' abilities by confusing skill with physique. This is the most common coaching mistake at this stage: to associate the effectiveness of an action to a skill rather than a temporary physical advantage that will not be sustained in time. *

What of the following are true about the Junior Division Age Group? *

10 points

From a Tactical standpoint, the players should already be effective in groups of threes and fours, performing soccer concepts associated to lines (defenders, midfielders, and forwards), so as to focus on multi-lines (or small sided groups) concepts now. For example, playing out of the back

Tactical, Physical, and Psychological components should be disregarded to only focus on Technique

We should only focus on assisting those players that are 'late' in their maturation, as the others are bigger, faster, stronger and don't really experience problems but rather temporary advantages.

It is important to add many components of Agility, Flexibility, Mobility, Balance, and Coordination to our sessions, as this will help "reorganize" the body of the athlete after the pubertal stage.

Players don't need to warm up from a biological standpoint.
