FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has announced the rosters for its 2103-14 Revolution Academy youth teams. In total, 63 players from the New England region were selected for the Revolution’s youth squads: 17 on the Under-18 team and 23 each on the Under-16 and Under-14 teams. The players were scouted by the youth development staff over the past year and selected after both invitational training sessions and open tryouts this summer.
Coming off the 2012-13 season which saw the Under-18 team advance to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Finals Week for the first time in club history and finish seventh overall in the country, the upcoming year’s squads are highlighted by 34 returning players, including 11 members of the Under-18 team who are entering their at least their third year in the Revs’ youth system. There are 29 new players, including four U18s, eight U16s, and 17 U14s.
Now, in its second year, the Revolution U14 team – which competed in U.S. Club Soccer’s Northeast Pre-Academy League in 2012-13, finishing third with a 20-5-2 record – will join the newly-launched U.S. Soccer Development Academy U14 division starting in the fall.
“We’re pleased with the progress of our program and believe that this group of young men will represent the club’s very high standards, both on and off the field,” Bryan Scales, director of youth development, said. “The returning players have helped raise the bar each year, and this year’s new players have accepted an opportunity and challenge that other talented soccer players are not as fortunate to have. We have plenty of work to do to continue to close the gap with the world’s top professional academies, so we’re looking forward to getting started next week and building on last season’s success.”
Entering its sixth season, the Revolution’s youth development program – which U.S. Soccer rated among the nation’s top 10 youth programs last year – is the only fully-funded youth soccer program in New England, and competes in the prestigious U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Qualified and talented players are accepted into the program without regard to their financial situation. All players’ needs and expenses related to soccer activities – training, facilities, equipment, uniforms, travel associated with competitions – are provided by the Revolution at no cost to the players or their families.
Players born January 1, 1995 or after are eligible for the Under-18 team, while players born after January 1, 1997 are eligible for the Under-16 team and players born January 1, 1999 or after are eligible for the Under-14 team.
