The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

All of what you say is true but show me another club that has a facility of this magnitude when done. Also, show me another high level club that fields about 90 kids at no cost to the families. It’s definitely not the best in the US but it is the best in this area and getting better. Personally I am impressed that they are spending this amount on a training facility. Moving in the right direction. First team still stinks!

The only reason they have a free youth program is because they HAVE to. If they didn't have to they wouldn't spend a nickel on kids. In a survey done last year the Revs reported they spent $1.5M putting them in last place of the respondents by $500K. The highest spent $4.5M. Also keep in mind the main purpose of this site is for the first team, not DA. Relative to other MLS clubs the Revs are still well behind most MLS clubs, starting with no having their own stadium. Check out what Sporting KC did https://populous.com/project/childrens-mercy-park or the proposed stadium for Cincinnati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Cincinnati_stadium

College coaches don't care about the facility.

Revs are still far behind in quality college placements.

Yes, this. They could build a $100m facility, it still wouldn't compensate for the serious lack of coaching expertise and abysmal leadership at the academy level.

FSA brags all the time about having the nicest facility in CT but their placements aren't good at all. It's all about the coaching.

No, actually for CT clubs on the boys' side it seems like FSA and Oakwood have the most commits so far. For the record.

SELL the REvs

The only reason they have a free youth program is because they HAVE to. If they didn't have to they wouldn't spend a nickel on kids. In a survey done last year the Revs reported they spent $1.5M putting them in last place of the respondents by $500K. The highest spent $4.5M.

-Sure sign they are no longer vested in building soccer stadium near Boston since they're spending measly bucks developing training outside the Pats stadium. :(

-First team stinks because they too are the cheapest paid/lowest quality for the $

-Why build training grounds in NE without at least some coverage as the weather is a significant detriment to training Nov-March.

and of course, the management is absurdly outdated in 2018 soccer landscape.

"After 15 years of playing games in ill-suited venues, the new soccer-specific stadium would allow Sporting Kansas City to redefine its organization and set a path toward long-term sustained growth and success.

Ownership was clear about one thing: their passion for innovation drove an interest well beyond creating just another Major League Soccer stadium. They wanted something that would radically change the notion of soccer stadium design."

Where are the list of commits?

Where are the list of commits?

On Top Drawer Soccer and/or the New England Soccer Journal. Oakwood has a bunch; FSA has, I believe, two, and CFC has zero. (Obviously, given the time of year, these are D1 commits)

CT again - FSA boys is a completely different animal than the girls. The girls side is beyond weak. Same with OW (their GDA team is doing fine but more because NE GDA is so weak). Neither club puts much effort into their girls teams - they think "buy a badge and they will come." Both put their weaker coaches on the girls side and it shows.

CFC boys aren't very good. They rock it for women's commitments, definitely best in the state. FSA and OW are more boys clubs, CFC is girls.

Yes, and you are on a thread about a boys DA club, so of course I was talking about boys. The girls' info isn't relevant here.
