Summer

Training will begin after tryouts in late May. Teams take approximately three weeks off during the summer. Timing of these breaks is based on the coach’s discretion and will be communicated at the initial team meeting.

The U9 and U10 teams will play in 3-4 summer jamborees or tournaments, plus attend a local team day camp.

Fall

Our U9 and U10 teams will play in a local (Snohomish County and Greater Seattle) 10-12 game league season in a 7-a-side format. Schedules for the fall season will be released in August with the first league game starting early September. Games will continue every weekend until mid-November and potential reschedules into early December.

U9 and U10 teams take time off between mid-November and late January. During December, teams will play in a Rush-only holiday indoor tournament.

Winter/Spring

Our U9 and U10 teams will also play in a 5-7 game winter/spring league season. These games will also be played in the Snohomish County and Greater Seattle area in a 7-a-side format. Teams may opt to play in a year end tournament or jamboree starting in March. The season will conclude in late March or April.
