The Revolution Academy Division requires acceptance based on a tryout, is more competitive and is considered to be a developmental division to possibly prepare players for the Travel division, if selected, and wish to join.
Coaches are required to hold a coaching license. Games are typically played on Saturdays with some game play taking place during the week. There are no more than 3 sanctioned events per week. Teams are formed based on player skill and ability to have more equally balance teams. Teams ARE NOT formed by geographic location. Specific practice fields and times are released by the county, scheduled by the field’s coordinator and selected by the coach. You will not know where practice is held until just before the season begins.
Register for the age group that your player will be for the Fall/Spring 2020-2021 seasonal year, age chart below.

We believe this is the best way forward to get players back into the Academy without additional risk to health and safety during this pandemic. Unfortunately, this will limit the players in Academy to those who played in the Academy program Fall 2019 and/or selected for the program in Spring 2020 seasons and add no new players for Fall 2020. We plan to hold mid-year tryouts for new players again in November 2020. Questions? Please contact [email protected]
