The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

I don't understand why there is only one '02 playing up with the U16's. He was snatched away from the U14 team after game 4. There are other players on the U14's that are equally as deserving and would love that opportunity from a development standpoint.

Actually, it looks like three '02 players have been given the opportunity to play a decent amount with the U15/16s this year . If your kid isn't one of them, the coaching staff most likely doesn't think he is ready to make an impact at the higher level. The U15/16 team is weak this year, due to a good handful of the best playing almost full time for the U17/18s, so offers the perfect opportunity for a strong '02 to potentially get significant playing time with the team. It looks like the one player you mention is taking full advantage of this, which is great for his development.

Maybe but I think it's the work he does with his father that makes the most impact.

Then take you kid elsewhere and then start a new thread to bash the injustice towards your kid. News Flash....nobody cares.

I care because as long as parents and Revs sycophants blindly support their half hearted efforts, the Revs, AND THEIR ACADEMY PLAYERS, will remain mediocre.

Well, you can be out there every day working with your kid, too. Doesn't take a pro player to help him perfect some of the skills he's learning at practice. Plenty of youtube videos out there, as well, with new skills you can help him work on. The training that top/pro-players are doing isn't really secret in this age of information. You might be surprised that it's not necessarily the training his father is providing him that's making the impact, but the fact that he is doing training outside of practice and trying to improve. Is your kid doing this?

Because it is free the families are not customers so have no leverage over the Revs. The only thing to do is leave, and that happens very rarely. Getting cut is very common though.

That was the point, Einstein.

Cut not just because of skill level of players. Revs aren't stupid, they know.

Hundreds of posts complaining about Revs coaches, management, players, were not rumors. They were "alternate facts."

Please go away, have a beer and get over your obsession. I get that you know everything about everyone on here because you are so very special.

But I'm special too. I know who I am.
