The RDL Program is currently for U9-U19 players. Rush Developmental Teams will now be formed by Birth Year to fall in line with US Youth Soccer’s Mandate. RDL Age Groups are split into six age categories: U9, U10, U12, U14 (teams are gender specific) U16 and U19 are coed teams
It is important to understand what the RDL program is. It is not competitive it’s still a recreation-based program, which means parent-volunteer coaches, 50 percent playing time rules, no out-of-town travel, teams formed by geographic areas, etc. However, we start to add elements of competitive soccer, we keep scores and standings, there are paid referees; there is an in-house local tournament at the end of each season and the training schedule is less rigorous than competitive soccer.
The RDL program is designed to be a year-round program. Teams are formed during the summer and will stay together for the fall and spring seasons (U9-U14 Only). Coed HS has registration during the summer for fall and during the winter for spring.
• The RDL Program is a very important part of Idaho Rush. It can be used as a stepping-stone into our competitive program for those that are interested or it can be a nice home all the way through High School.
• RDL is designed to give players the opportunity to play MORE soccer without the cost and travel of Competitive.
• Did I mention a tournament to end each fall and spring season? At no extra cost and no travel.
• RDL plays their fall season at Simplot Youth Sports Complex and spring season at Optimist Youth Sports Complex.
