Now we know why Revs made the alliance with Valeo, NEFC and BaysideFc.

20? Seriously?

All those Newton MA players Newton United grown.

These families from Amherst and anywhere else in the range of 2+ hours away from Foxboro are giving up their lives for this youth sport. Have you people seriously considered the benefits and drawbacks? I would encourage you to look at the list of 2016 commits and see that club soccer kids and DAP kids stand just about the same chance of playing college soccer. Even if you think your kid has the very rare talent and a true desire to become the next homegrown Revs professional player, which btw usually means skipping college and earning a very low salary -- it's not worth it folks! But you will likely have to learn this the hard way like so many others before you.

even points north of Boston are 2+ hours.

I think the Revs are awful. Not just development, but everything. They take talent and turn it into mediocrity better than anyone could. But people coming from north of Boston are completely delusional. As the other poster said, you are giving up your life, as well as the player and his siblings essentially to say you play with the Revs. And that's just flat out nuts because they suck. And I hate that word but the shoe fits. They take talent and do absolutely nothing with it.

Look at the player most recently signed. They had him since young. He threw away a scholarship. And he hasn't played and won't play because he was merely bait to get you and it worked. Shame on them. The only impact players they have from DAP were with them for a brief time and that is not a coincidence.

Even if this continues to be true, what is the alternative. Stay with a $2-3K/year club that plays favorites and yanks you around to play with lower level talent against lower skilled teams?

Not the op but it's about 1) choices (what are your alternatives?) 2) where do you fit in the scheme of things (don't do it if you're player #14-22) 3) and what are your long term goals are (top D1 or just some form of college play at any level ). Weigh all of that carefully and don't but into the hype. Make sure to keep your options available in case it doesn't work out (by player or club choice)

You mean the 2002's? Some players already have been told they will be playing with the U16 team.

Some 2003's up too; 2 goalies
But too many

I don't see any 03's playing up to U14, the pace is too quick. I know all the players there.

Your kid didn't make it?

No different than playing on a top exclusive regional hockey team that is coached by a well known coach. Need to be in the top 2% of your age group.

Since you're stating " your goals" are you talking u16 or u18? Surely not u14 or younger

ZH's did not "throw away" his scholarship at Providence, it was deferred and paid for by the Revolution, you ignoramus.
