The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

As to players being released, if they were really quality DA players, then they should have no problem finding another club to play for.

Obviously you’re a town soccer parent because otherwise you’d know rosters are set at the start of the fall season and spots don’t open up. So all those cut kids (who were told they were on the Revs roster for the DA 17/18 season) were basically screwed.

The real question is why the Revs committed to them if they weren't "really quality DA players" in the first place.

That would be the highly unqualified scout Charris.

Let's talk about your lack of reading comprehension. No where did I say those players cut could find DA spots mid year. What I said was if they were quality players, they should have no problem finding a landing spot... whether that was for the season or longer, in DA or elsewhere, I didn't specify. You read what you wanted to, and that goes to your anti-Revs agenda.

My guess is you're a Pay2Play club coach, as other soccer parents generally don't talk about fixed roster spots and use town soccer as an insult on an anonymous forum. You're lack of reading comprehension speaks volumes as to lack of academic achievement and your snide comments about town soccer speak to your insecurities as a club coach.

Might want to rethink some of your life choices if you're that insecure...

Everyone here uses town soccer as an insult.

Nice (albeit too long) deflection from the real issue- the Revs stuck at identifying talent and give up on players far too quickly. They should just tell players you have 3 months to prove yourself or you're out. That isn't what USSF wants but at least its honest

Never heard so many snowflakes complain in one place before: First it's complaints of poor or no development. Then it's complaints about who gets playing time and starts or who was recruited and who wasn't. Then it's complaints about not making cuts when they should. And when the Revs makes cuts, more complaints... here's a hint: there is an agenda in all these posts and it is clear who the agenda benefits: PAY2PLAY clubs

As to players being released, if they were really quality DA players, then they should have no problem finding another club to play for.

Also, all the posters here need to check themselves if they think Pro Youth Academies in Europe aren't any more cut throat. There are no guarantees in this game, at any level. Don't like it, go accept your participation trophy at the local rec league...

Follow along: This convo started by Revs parent saying kid was stressed bc of mid season cuts. Poster pointed out fear based, your lucky to be here mentality at Revs. The arrogance that they are so awesome seems to excuse them from coaching. The world of DA is small. MLS DA smaller. Parents talk. Other successful MLS clubs aren’t like this. They don’t cut mid season.

And you need to check yourself if you think Revs Academy should be compared to anything in Europe. They are a laughingstock in soccer circles. Constantly! Bottom of barrel. They should shake out some of the reasonable feedback on this site and implement it. And if your at the highest level of competition and can’t handle the criticism your in the wrong place.

The top residential recruit, Cicci from Empire United, left mere weeks after the season began. #TotalScalesFail Empire is 6 spots above us in the East standings. He knew right away that he made the wrong choice for his future. He and his family were immune to the ridiculous local perception that we are the best. Their objective, outsider perspective gave them clear line of sight to the shortcomings we all deal with week to week now. Residential program? PUH-Leeeeeaaaassssseeee.

Begging another Revs family to house a kid is hardly a "residential program." Good for the kid/family to bail quickly before it was too late.

He would have been one of the kids cut. Not a strong player at all!

Will the Academy drug use make potential residential players reluctant to commit?

So we’re back to acknowledging that our scouts have no idea what they are doing?
