If you are currently playing with another club you you will need to get a release signed via the player action form found on the Nevada State Association website or wait until tryouts. Any player who is not registered to a club may be invited to train with a Nevada Rush team in their respective age group to determine the best developmental placement for them. Please contact the Nevada Rush office (702)-271-7701 and they will connect you with the appropriate DOC to help begin this process.

 PLAYER PLACEMENT PROCESS

Player Evaluation
Every year in late May and early June, soccer clubs conduct their annual tryouts to place players on a team based on their abilities. Those tryouts take lots of man hours to look at hundreds of players in a short period of time. While majority of the players receive a phone call and are placed appropriately, many fall through the cracks, some cannot attend these tryouts, and many are too nervous to show their true ability.

When we look at the athletes, we measure their technical and tactical abilities along with their physical and psychological attributes. A tryout period does not allow us to fully rate players accurately. For these reasons, players will be observed throughout the entire year by their team Head Coach and Director of Coaching at training sessions and games. They will then be consequently placed more accurately within the Nevada Rush system. Evaluations will be based on the previously mentioned components in addition to attendance, attitude, team chemistry, and consistency, to name a few.

Tryout Information
The Head Coach will select his/her team with the assistance of the Directors of Coaching of Nevada Rush. Tryouts for all U11 players and players outside the club will take place during late May/June. Due to the evaluation process, tryouts are not required for currently registered U12 and older Competitive Nevada Rush players during tryout week. However, if a current Nevada Rush Competitive player wishes to move to another team, they are encouraged to attend tryouts, as it is the final step in the evaluation process. Upcoming tryout dates will posted when released by the Nevada State Soccer Association.

 Player Movement
During any other time of the year, a Nevada Rush player may be asked to transfer, or may request a transfer to another Nevada Rush team. Nevada Rush will transfer this player, only in certain circumstances such as injuries, player/coach conflicts, consideration to the implications of the entire age group, ability level, etc. Head Coaches must communicate to their respective DOC to approve any player movement within the club. This process will always be done with the player in mind first and what is best for their development.
