The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Yes true but at the Revs, the soccer stinks and there's not enough training so the prep school training would be advantageous ��

In the end the education piece will serve him better no matter where he goes soccer wise.

Have you seen the stats on college players from DAP and Clubs? DAP, especially in this bench-sitting position, is not worth it! Get your boys out now!

No, please post the stats.

Sure, yes but it also depends on what type of prep soccer program and coach. One more thing, the kid only misses 3 months of DAP while still playing meaningful soccer in the ISL. Let's not forget the educational piece here which is another topic altogether. The waiver will undoubtedly be granted if the Revs don't see him on a pro path. I know nothing about this '02 kid, or how they project him in the future.

Careful, only a couple of waivers a given out. Also you run the risk of someone replacing you.

For all of the complaining,the 18s just won 2 to 1 against the Red Bulls

In theory you are trying to develop a method and style of play that is superior to every other method and style of play. Why would you therefore send a player back to an environment where detrimental habits will be reborn that will then have to be reformed once back at the academy?

You are giving DAP programs and coaches too much credit if you truly believe they have a magic dust to sprinkle on players that will create superior method and style of play.

When I wrote the post you replied to I almost added this line at the end...

...but DAP coaching (at least in New England) is basically non-existent so the entire point is moot.

But I decided to be a good boy and not stir the nest. But now I'm glad to pile on.

Being fully funded causes jealousy but we're fine with that.

Congrats U13 goalie

4. The 2003s

The introductory camp for the 2003s was about where you expect it to be at this point. There are some players who made the camp who did not look like they were up for the level and there were other players in the camp who looked like they should be with the 2002s already. This is going to be a long process for these players as they go through the National Team programming, but there is a reason to be optimistic about the group. Dante Sealy, Sebastian Burke, Nicolas Pereira, Jack McGlynn, Brian Lopez, Issac Homer, and Eliot Jones look to have a promising future on the field.
