Oh, a U15 parent.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Can I give you some advice?
The 2003 age group just displaced virtually all of the 2002 players in the U16-U17 combined age group.
Those 2003's are going to have a year of experience with bigger and faster opponents under their belt by the time the 2019-2020 teams are formed an announced.
What do you think will happen to the VAST MAJORITY of 2004's when it comes time to combine with the 2003's next year?
Start finding a back up plan now.Comment

Again, it was half of the 2002 group displaced, not "virtually all". I really don't know what you expect to happen when a single age team merges into a double-age team. Your "advice" applies equally to all DA clubs. Roughly half of the U15 age group will be cut every year on every team as they merge into U17.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It tends to be more like 75%. Most clubs, even the Revs, will favor the older players. Only the top younger players have a shot.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The game card is up. DC United scored 6 goals throughout the game so everyone was responsible which means the 03's are way out of their league (as are the 02's)Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Welcome to DA. You're guaranteed starts for the year. You are never guaranteed meaningful PT across the board or per game, no matter how far you traveled or even if you actual start.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How many shots were on him? Multiple mistakes get made before the GK becomes the last line of defense. Even a top GK can only do so much. With a score like that I'm assuming he was shelled. Something is going to get in.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
But hey, the younger Revs teams beat up on OW closer to home! That means they'll be win a title in a few years, right?! ;)Comment

Weird group of players played full 90 minutes. Makes no sense.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Top Academies and clubs that care about player development run a U16 team. They keep the kids in the program - they don't cut them.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The coach must have thought those players deserved it. Maybe not so much now.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Well since the Revs Academy are ranked #20 out of #23 it totally makes sense. They really don't care. No U12. No U16. Lazy bottom of the barrel coaches. Minimal practices borrowing fields from local high schools.
The 17s lost 38 games across the entire season last year and that was before they re-did the schedules so they'll play more MLS teams. Should be a fun year ahead!
