Advanced (U9-U18)

ADVANCED PROGRAM

The Virginia Rush Peninsula Advanced program offers soccer programming for age groups U9 through U18 boys and girls. The Advanced program is offered to players who seek a level of play between recreational and competitive. Teams are formed through an open onsite try-out process. Teams formed in May remain together for one year (fall and spring seasons). Players and teams can be added in the spring season through the Spring try-out process. The primary focus of the Advanced program is to offer age-appropriate training and games in the Tidewater Advanced Soccer League (TASL). TASL offers competition at all levels of recreational youth soccer for boys and girls. Participation in TASL is extended to all clubs affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation (US Soccer) in the Hampton Roads area.

The Advanced program groups children according to the US Youth Soccer (USYS) age group structure and TASL guidelines. Players U9-U12, participate in “small-sided” games, which enables players to have more active participation and time on the ball. Players U13-U18 participate in the 11v11 game format, which allows these players to receive the most realistic view of the game.
