The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

All I can say for sure is, that the coaches have completely lost their minds

They like who they like. Period.

Does anybody know who made the Revs 04 team?

It's too bad, but the young teams play just like the first team. They go for extremes in players, clearly not understanding why the field is in utter chaos. Maybe in 10 years it'll get better, but they've not gotten out of this cycle.

Will all of you just STFU about this. Those of you with kids on the team great, but if you don't like it quit. Those of you who don't have kids on the team why are you even commenting?

Not your kid! If he made it, you would know already.

Were cuts made on the 2002 team? A bunch of 2003 kids played up.

NYCFC U14 has become a young team in the Spring -- mostly 03s now as top 02s moved up to u16 - this may have been the reason for the 03s playing up in large numbers

The Revs had their 04 play up this weekend. I wonder how many angry 03 parents there were?

on another bleak Revs notes, article about MLS clubs "finding their identities. It had this to say about the Revs

Blue Collar Clubs

Teams that otherwise spurned a more holistic strategy in favor of thriftiness; each is comprised entirely of players under the million-dollar threshold

New England Revolution
Houston Dynamo
San Jose Earthquakes
D.C. United

As for D.C. United and New England, the future looks considerably bleaker. DCU seems to be in a destructive holding pattern until the new stadium opens, but the fact that management has done little to boost the team’s overall technical level until that time (and to pay someone more than $600K) doesn’t speak well to its commitment. New England might be in the worst place of all. The Krafts seem to care little about the Revs as a product, and until infused with significantly more buying power on the open market and their own stadium, the soccer guys on the ground will continue to bear the brunt of the neglect.

Don't think any Bolts kids left. All turned down Revs offers.

At least 3 2002 Seacoast players also turned down the Revs offers last week.

The aura of playing for the revs is going away. Why? Because College coaches don't give a F$&& which DAP team you play for.

If your team is weak as a whole, they look at how YOU play . For example, if you're a forward and score a lot of goals while playing for a weak team that's huge. If you play for FC Dallas it's a lot easier to score goals ( many more chances).
If you're a defender you'll get a lot of action - they will want to see how YOU defend and work with your teammates and how you handle disappointment.

Seacoast is going thru a shakeup with its new academy director on board. Lots of positive changes coming next season. Many cuts were made already for next year. They are building a huge indoor complex in Epping. Lots of training and recruiting.

Hear the Revs are struggling to assemble the 01/02 and 00/99 teams. Lots of cuts at the 01/02 ages and some players are opting for Prep schools over the Revs.

The 01/02 team will have a reduced number of current 02's. They have a shortage of 01's already. Maybe they will take some 03's. Or, their favorite 04.
