Expectations for selected players

• Full commitment to the program, including consistent attendance at training, timely communication, and adherence to team standards.
• High standards of professionalism on and off the field (respect for coaches and teammates, academic responsibility, and positive sportsmanship).
• Openness to feedback and a growth mindset; players should be prepared to be pushed physically, mentally, and competitively.

Training and program structure

• Regular training: three Academy sessions per week focused on technical, tactical, and team concepts.
• College recruiting support: one to two college-focused sessions each month to update recruiting profiles, review academic eligibility requirements, and connect with college coaches. These sessions include instruction on coach outreach, highlight creation, and NCAA/NAIA/juco registration where applicable.
• Video analysis: one to two film sessions each month to review and analyze games and individual performance, identify learning goals, and create action plans for improvement.
• Strength & conditioning and injury-prevention work are integrated or provided through partner coaches to support long-term athletic development.
• Rosters remain flexible: movement between teams is based on performance, training commitment, and developmental needs.

Competition and league play

• The Academy team competes in the top division of the SWPL, facing strong opponents including former professional and collegiate players. This level is intended to prepare players for college-level competition.
• If enough players are available, a second Academy team will be placed in the second division to provide appropriate playing time and competitive balance.
• Coaches will manage playing opportunities with a focus on development and fair competition across the Academy.

What this means for players and families

• Recognition: Selection signals the club’s belief that a player has potential to compete at the highest levels within Nevada Rush.
• Commitment: Families should plan for increased time, travel, and possible additional costs associated with showcases, recruiting activities, and extra training.
• Support: The Academy provides technical coaching, recruiting guidance, video feedback, and strength/conditioning resources to help players progress toward college and elite opportunities.
• Development plan: Each Academy player will receive individualized feedback and a development plan with clear, measurable goals and checkpoints to track progress.
