Advanced General Information
The Virginia Rush Advanced program entry level is U9 and is offered through U18. The Advanced program is offered to older players who seek a higher level of play. Teams are formed through an open tryout process held in June of each year. Teams are formed in June and remain together for one year (two seasons).

 The primary focus within the Advanced league is age appropriate training. The Advanced league groups children according to the US Youth Soccer (USYS) age group structure. Teams U9-U12 participate in "small-sided" games which enables the players to have more active participation and time on the ball. All players that participate in training/practices will play at least 50% of each game.

 *The Advanced program currently only operates on the Southside and is not yet in place on the Peninsula.*
