The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Because it tells us that u don’t have to be a full time DA player to play at a high level.

You dont have to be a part time DA player to play at a high level, especially in this area. NEFC and GPS recruits doing just fine, and trending even better.

We all knew that already. Only a few die hard Revs parents refuse to accept it. Revs staff just keeps phoning it in yet try and defend themselves as developers of talent.

We aren’t interested in college soccer. Our kids have higher goals.

Let me guess, age 13, 14 tops? If they're any good they'd be known already. If they're any good you'd be wise to move abroad or to NY or Philly or the West Coast. But they're not that good, so you'll suck it up at the Revs. Make sure they keep their grades up or sign them up for trade school.

Nothing wrong with trade school. Lots of money to be made there too.

Nothing wrong at all. But if college isn't the goal but going pro is? Send them to trade school. Definitely send them to trade school if you think the Revs will help you go pro.

Oh, they’re already known. That you don’t know doesn’t surprise me.

Why is anyone spending anytime trying to figure this out? No one cares. You're absolutely right - kids are playing and attending great schools. They won the lottery.

Well it’s not as rosy as some would think. These great schools are academically grueling. It’s very difficult to maintain a high GPA and make a full soccer commitment. There is very little down time especially in the fall season.

Thankfully Revs kids go on to the trades so they don’t need to worry about things like GPAs and time management.

Sounds right for an aspiring pro player.

Trade school? Great. No real plan for post HS other than hoping to go pro? Not a good plan.

True for every sport. Higher percentage of former Duke basketball players not playing professionally than professionally.

Did you just compare a D1 athlete with a Duke degree to an ex-Revs DA landscaper?
