USSF adds an even younger age group

[Unregistered]

Yes, yes, and no. This is NOT about splitting age groups, the USSF headline is missleading.. They have added yet a younger age group.

The U15 age group is actually already split- the 2002 age group is U15. The 2003 age group is U14. The U15/U16 age group is actually U16/U17.

So right now, the Revs (and everyone else) is actually lacking a bona fide U13 age group. Next year, the U12 DAP (9v9!!) will slide into U14 and the 2005's will be the new U13 age group-- all new players, which means the alliance was not used as efficiently as it should.

Of course they are.

Revs will avoid adding any new teams - they already have. They don't want to spend a dime more on DA.

The U13 (really U14) age group season ends in May. There was/is not one extra minute in place for training or games.

I can't imagine a team having less in the future, but they will find a way and those younger kids will not fare well.

The Revs currently field a U13 team in the DA(2003's). They will field it's age adjusted equivalent in 2017-18(2005's). Doing otherwise would in fact constitute dropping a team. That wouldn't fly. Their stuck between a rock and a hard place.

This is an extremely cogent point. Revs teams are the lowest level on the Kraft totem pole. They have a field house but they get bumped for anything and everything else. If you are looking for a full DA experience you will most likely find that the Revs are the last place you should be.

Don't worry. The Super is only a month away and then more indoor space will open up.

Except the 1st team will need it. Then the Krafts will rent it out. RDS needs it and those people pay. Anyone that pays gets to use it prior to the freeloaders.

RDS uses it Friday evening and Saturday morning. Plenty of time during the week for both the first team and the Revs DA teams to use the field house around those days.
