    Press release, ceremony.....

    “It’s nearly impossible to produce twelve professional players every cycle,” says Academy Director Tony Annan. “So we have to really be focused on education and getting guys into that pathway. Hopefully some of those come through that pathway out as professionals on the other end. For those that don’t, it sets them up for a good career and a good start in life at a great college.”
    I wish this was a reality for us. It happens at GPS. It happens at NEFC. It happens at the Bolts. My son is entering the recruiting years. He wants to play D1 soccer.

      We have a U19 team with 2 college commitments(Lehigh, UMass Lowell) and a U17 Team in the recruiting sweet spot that is bottom of the barrel and suffered the indignity of being repeatedly trounced in the GA Cup’s consolation bracket. I feel like we’re wasting precious time. Please fix the club and fire some coaches so these dedicated players can hopefully salvage something from the college recruiting process.

        The recruiting process is largely up to the player, both in the work he puts in playing and getting recruited. You should never rely on a club to do anything more than point you in the right direction and maybe make a few phone calls. This applies triple with the Revs. If you want to salvage your kid's development look elsewhere or pay for a lot of extra training

              I have my kid wearing a wire at trainings so he can blackmail his way into Harvard.

                Care to elaborate?

                  Coaches from Harvard and BC are on the payroll. An ethical issue from a
                  recruiting standpoint.

                    Wrong. That’s like saying a college coach can’t coach club- well tell that to the hundreds of clubs that have college coaches working for them as head or asst coaches or technical director.

                      Totally. That happens all over and is all but unenforceable. NCAA ain't got time for that!

                        Greasing the skids at Pro Project gets you a likely letter.

                          If your kid didn’t play up against Westchester then they don’t care about your kid.

                              Several more players have declined Revs offers this year. Kids get smarter every year.

                                Players come and go every year, some by choice and others are cut from the team. The issue for us will be a combined 04/03 team. Neither the 15s or the 17s could score this year. At least the 15s could keep the ball out of the back of the net. If we don’t pick up some prolific scorers we’ll struggle for yet another year.
