U12 Revs Academy Team?

[Unregistered]

I see Beaver Country day jumping on this with Revs connections with Herivaux.

I think it needs to be a boarding school with the amount of time they will need for training. Probably 2-3 sessions is what the other academy schools do.

There are a couple of bigger clubs being ask to participate.

Again, who's paying for it? From article

"YSC's tuition is listed at a hefty $28,500 per year, but Graham says more than 80 percent of the student body receives some form of need-based scholarship, and 50 percent are on full rides."

Tuition at most of those schools is even higher. A school isn't going to subsidize it. Another issue is most schools couldn't handle an influx of 60+students. As for a PR coup? Only for a low level school. The big guns won't be interested - their reputations are stake on academics and the perception will be an influx of "dumb jocks" (perception, maybe not reality). Philly is its own institution vs partnered with an existing school. I have a hard time seeing the Revs diving into that deep a commitment. Finally, several players are already attending excellent academic schools and many others attend excellent public schools. Would parents be willing to walk from some great schools to something of questionable quality?

Did you bang your head when you were younger or are you always this stupid?

I guess you didn't detect any sarcasm there. There's a fool born every day. The revs are not doing ANYTHING with u12s except take their RDS money.

DC United have joined the boarding soccer/school Academy movement as well. The Calverton School scholarships DC United Academy players.

They weren't interested in your kid. But keep paying for RDS and dream the dream

What Club does your kid play for?

My best player is a girl so right but my neighbor is an incredible player at age 11 (so far) just curious- so maybe RDS then?

The Rev's are recruiting 10-11 year old pre-pubescent little boys? They will now be diminishing their older boys program... this smells of desperation and greed.

But I guess easy for me to say as my 11 year old wasn't "recruited".

Club soccer can be such a scam sometimes.
