Tournaments

The MN Rush Competitive Tournament Only program is a training and tournament based program. Below are some details regarding this program. Tournaments are typically in the Twin Cities and held on the weekends. Each team will participate in 4 tournaments. The new MN Rush uniform kit (details below) will be required to participate in tournaments. The four tournaments are: (TBD)

**These have not yet been decided as clubs have to the end of the year to report the tournament they will offer. Teams will participate in the USA CUP Weekend or USA CUP tournament to conclude the year.

Please Note: Just like last year, we are NOT collecting USA Cup individual fees, and those fees will be payable directly to NSC for those players participating.

Tournament fees for these four tournaments will be collected at time of registration. Note: Specific tournaments and/or dates are subject to change based upon availability. The plan is to send ALL Rush teams to the same tournaments- this helps our families and it helps build our culture!
If the team chooses to participate in additional tournaments, the team will need to collect the fees.

Team Formation



Teams will be formed by MN Rush Assistant Technical Director (Angelo Tartaglia). MN Rush’s Competitive Tournament Only program does NOT use tryouts to form teams. Teams are formed by using past coaching evaluations. Any new player to Tournament Only will be placed based on previous evaluation of their past program / club. Please note, there are no friend requests. . Players aged U9 thru U19 are invited to register.

Training

MN Rush Tournament Only teams will continue to contract coaches from Tetra Brazil if feasible. These coaches will continue to be selected by Angelo Tartaglia. Some of the details of the MN Rush training program are as follows: Teams will be coached according to the Club’s curriculum. During the Spring U9-U12 Teams practice 2 times a week (these days will be determined by Angelo Tartaglia closer to the start of the season), U13-U19- practice 4 times a week. 

In addition, training only options are available for players who wish not to participate in tournaments
.Attendance is strongly encouraged, and absences may affect playing time.
