2023-24 Fall/Spring Revolution Academy

Stafford Soccer offers several different divisions of soccer, Recreation, Revolution Academy and Travel. Within these divisions we offer programs for U5 through U19 players. U5 and U6 Recreation and ALL Travel age groups are formulated by the player’s true age, wherein the Recreation Division (U8-High School) and Revolution Academy age groups are made up of players within a two-year age range. The age groups are established by VYSA (Virginia Youth Soccer) and abided by Stafford Soccer.

The Revolution Academy (also referred to as the Academy) is an advanced recreational program that seeks to bridge the gap between Stafford Soccer’s Recreational division and Revolution Travel providing players an environment in which they can develop and hone their skills. The Revolution Academy strives to teach a greater understanding of the game of soccer, improve technical development, and to instill self-confidence in players who demonstrate the potential for development in to the Travel program. This is accomplished through advanced skills training by certified and licensed volunteer coaches, dedicated professional training sessions throughout the season, competitive in-house gameplay, and a possible end-of-year tournament with other clubs.
