With the recent signing of Jasmine Simmons and some time to re-fresh, this weekend's double-header is as good a chance as any for the Rush to get back on track.

Simmons fronted the media during the week and said the group is just keen to play.

"Everyone's stoked. I mean it's our first game in a few weeks, we're just ready to get on the court and play for each other," she said.

Being together again and running through sets has been the main focus at training throughout the week ahead of their return against Kilsyth, coach Eric Hayes told The Courier.

"The first thing is just getting back together and just remembering our stuff, getting a little bit of run in the legs and welcoming Jas into the group," he said.

Kilsyth enter the match-up 4-3 after a roller coaster start to its season.

They've won back-to-back games once and aside from that, for the most part have either won big or lost big, the only outlier a two-point win over Hobart.

Lauren Scherf looms as the biggest threat for Kilsyth, averaging 16.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and a block through her first seven games.

It will be a team effort on the defensive end to halt her influence, but Alicia Froling looks set to take on the match-up down low, with the rebounding battle an intriguing side story, Froling averaging 14.29 a game.

The game kicks off at 6pm at the Ballarat Sports and Events Centre.

The side will travel to Melbourne to take on the third placed Tigers on Sunday from 12:30pm.

They're 6-3 with an impressive 4-1 record on their home floor.

They possess the second best points per game average of the top 10 sides, something Hayes is mindful of heading into the game.

"They've got (Monique) Conti, they've got the Brancatisano sisters ... they've got some pretty talented girls and they play hard and they're physical and strong," Hayes said.

"They're going to be another tough game."
