The Chantilly Rumble is a U13 Girls Soccer Team participating in the Old Dominion Soccer League (ODSL).  We started playing together prior to the start of the Fall 2007 Season with players selected from an open tryout.  We are playing in our third season in ODSL, and were promoted to Division 2 for the start of the current season.  The girls are coming together as a team, and have dramatically improved their play over the last year.  The team was started with the goal of providing the travel soccer experience to the girls on our team, with a focus on the following:

Skill Development - Our team spends a great deal of time focusing on the fundamentals of play - footskills, passing, trapping, and shooting.  In addition, we focus on getting the girls to think on the field.  When combined with good footskills, a team that uses good tactics will be much stronger.

Sportsmanship - We believe this is the cornerstone for any team, and we stress the importance of respect for teammates, opponents, officials, and coaches.  Of all the skills the girls will learn, we know these lessons can be carried forward in their lives long after they've played competitive soccer.

Competition - With the increased level of play in travel soccer, we've seen the skills of our players improve dramatically.  We think good healthy competition teaches valuable life lessons, and we want our girls to build their focus and desire to be as competitive as possible. 

Fun - If nothing else, playing soccer should be fun.  We have a lot of fun and share a lot of laughs at a practices.  We also try to schedule activities for the team outside of practices and games so the girls can have fun together off the field as well.
