The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Wow! That club really does appear to be toxic.
You sound like a jealous parent of a kid that wasn't good enough to move on like the others did. Sorry about that..

Not at all. But it's a shame that kids get called names because their guardians place them in situations they should not be placed. He's a good player, not great but someone appears to like him. Hopefully, his parent(s) will grow up. As for Valeo, it's the chosen club in a chosen city!!

He's going to Croatia for the U14 BNT games. Pretty cool that he's the best left back in the USA!

You first year Revs parents (particularly the Valeo contingency), have been fed grandiose ideas about you sons over the years by Williams, Brito, Comrie and company just to keep you drinking the Valeo jungle juice. The reality of things are that the Revolution, or any professional soccer academy system for that matter, here or abroad, will exploit your son to the highest degree imaginable. The Revs don't care about you, his grades, his behavior off the field, his family resources, dynamics, struggles or anything else. All they care about is filling a domestic/homegrown roster spot on the first team and save themselves from buying an International roster spot from an another team or using TAM. It's as simple as that. They do not care about the appointments to the YNT either. If they see a hint of talent, they will focus on that player while everyone else is expendable. If you leave, they will not fight, squabble, negotiate or try to resolve anything with you. They release players every June, will fill the rosters with others and the turnstile keeps turning.

Couldn't have described it better myself. Valeo parents, welcome to the real world of professional sports and this absolutely pales in comparison to the child soccer factories in Europe and South America. If you miss Emilio telling you that your kid is the second coming of Pele, then I suggest you to head back to Valeo and keep getting your dose. The Revs will not do that for anybody, especially the over hyped Valeo players who have shown nothing to date.

Kids, please learn from this post: Drugs do damage to the brain!

I have very little respect for the Revolution organization but there is not one bit of truth in the quoted post. Boat loads of bitterness. But nothing else.

Precisely, the fact that they recently released arguably their most decorated academy player in Justin Rennicks for training with another professional club shows you exactly what they are about. At the end of the day though, the Revolution own his rights if he ever plays in MLS.

Coach, you can't hide your Valeo players any longer. They are out there, and have shown nothing.

Isn't it funny that it's only the Valeo players from the U13's and the majority of the U14's who Play up, the only ones on the younger team that have gone to the national team camps. What the heck has anybody else done? Nothing.
