The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

[Unregistered]

I have noticed recently that certain players have begun to do some odd things on the field. Maybe they know they're leaving or that they need additional training for a camp or tournament. The theatrics are embarrassing, I mean, impressive!

They're winding down and a lot of them have checked out both emotionally and physically. They are well aware of their teammates who are taking on different opportunities and will not return in August. These are young kids, they have not been stimulated on any level by the Revs staff and coaches. Long commutes to Gillette, inadequate training, no connection to the first team or organization as a whole, devoid of any team chemistry for multiple years and tattered worn out shoes and apparel. Don't forget, all of them have been denied their school Varsity experience all along which takes a toll on a kid.

As an MLS Academy, I grade those folks a solid F. I have observed them intently now for 3 years. Piss poor!!

Bryan Scales and Mike Burns should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. How do look at themselves in the mirror with such a sham of an operation they're running??

JR (U18)- suspended for exploring other training opportunities during an off month.
JF (U16)- walked away
IA (U18)- waiting for a HG contract but undoubtedly is gone
MB(U14/U16)- walked away
...and these are their top prospects!! They will cut many in the next month and the machine of mediocrity keeps churning.

A lot of Revs bashing going on here lately. I suspect that parents are starting to see the "Little Jimmy will not be returning" emails. The best part of those emails are the " we will track Jimmy's performance over the next year" hahaha!! Doesn't happen.

Bitty guy knows he's too small and getting coached (privately) on 'defensive' tactics

And grades get you into Dartmouth not soccer

You need both, and good for the kid.

The US national team will benefit from his extra work.

Fwiw, Lowell (finished ranked 14th in div. 1) had 5 or 6 local players that either started or got substantial minutes. None played DAP.

I have nothing but admiration for KV and wish him well, but the Revs program did nothing but retard his growth. He should have some fun and play high school for a year before college. It would help him to have the Revs shackles taken off.

I agreed with having the Revs shackles taken off because since he got there the coaches have not use him properly. Creative players can't play with restrictions. However, I disagreed with the high school thing. Doesn't help him going back to playing rec soccer.

He'll probably be happier for it though. HS + high level club

Do the Revs assume that all players, who are not cut, will be coming back?
