Purpose
The Cadet program offers training for the U11 & U12 player looking to take their game to the next level. The decision to add the U11 & U12 players into the Cadets was made to ensure that no player is left behind and that players not competing in the MS Rush D1 Competitive program are still able to practice, play and be coached at a high level. Cadets will also prepare the U11 & U12 9v9 player to easily transition into 11v11 soccer at U13.
OverviewParticipants will initially take part in 4 tryout sessions, that will serve as practices for the players, and enable the coaches to evaluate each player technically, tactically, physically and mentally. After the completion of the tryout sessions players will be placed onto either a tournament or practice team. At this point, players will practice with their team and coach once a week and play several scrimmages. The tournament team will compete in a couple of local tournaments against other clubs in the area.
Cadet training is led by a professional coaching staff and provides a training environment a step above the recreational level. The program is designed to serve as link between recreational soccer and Mississippi Rush.
