The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

that's stoopid. no parent of an 11 yo wants their kids turned over to traipsing around the country for hours for a single game. Learn somethin about academies. not all follow like the sheep

That's why USSF added many more academies for the U12s - bigger net + less travel for teh younger ones.

Other players have done it; NYCFC is more manageable of the two.

If they would take him he should go. Fat good he does for the 17s anyway.

(NYCFC seems pretty set though. Reyna going to Spain on U17 National team)

Great accomplishment. Might be the next Homegrown for the Revs.

Too bad Revs own his rights.

Learn something about academies? Right back at you dunce.

Many CT players have made the trek to RB to NYCFC. Majority of them have been Fairfield County kids. I.e. Border towns to NYC

Ben Mines (RB) or James Sands (NYCFC) the most recent

Googled the miles from New Britain to various DAP

Gillette Stadium. 111 miles
Purchase College NY. 84
Red Bull Arena 130

Much easier commuting to Gillette than commuting to either NJ or NY

Hopefully the player gets a full ride to a good university and never sets field on the Gillette pitch. They pay their goalkeepers s-h-i-t.

Another poster. There's a loop hole. A player who is not registered can be added in the Spring without a waiver. A player registered in the fall needs a waiver

Look at the South Kent kids and some public school kids that were added to beachside without waivers. In fact NESJ did a piece on their new DAP adds. They are also easy to spot on roster because they have only played four or five games

Now the Revs may chose not to give waivers or chose not add kids in the fashion they Beachside did. The loophole does absolutely exist.

Once again, it's not a "loophole". The USSDA has an add on period as a league. Beachside, as a club, can grant waivers to their players if they choose to. Revs have decided they will not. What is it about that, that you don't understand? Do you know what a US Soccer HS waiver is?

It means that a DA club will allow a player to play the second half of the DA season(Spring) and then allow the player to play HS soccer with their respective school in the Fall as well. The roster add on period has nothing to do with a waiver. Essentially, the Revs picked up and rostered a few players a couple of months ago and will want a full year DA commitment from them when rosters are finalized in July, or they can be released outright.

Now let's clear up the DP concept for the Revs newbies. Mass confusion on that too.

So they can release them outright in July and, as the rules are currently constituted, they could add them back in December, correct?

They will lose several key 15's and the few key 17's after the 17/18 season. Desperate times may call for desperate measures.

Which U15's are going? I really don't think there are many.

Yes - it's a loophole in the rules that some clubs take advantage of. Whether or not they do it is another story. They haven't historically done so but obviously they're scrambling this year. Even if they told you as a parent your kid's spot was safe, would you trust them? We know Revs management is vindictive and spiteful when they feel they've somehow been slighted.

Five starters.
