New England Revolution's Youth Development Program Holding Tryouts in June

The New England Revolution this week unveiled complete details about its new, fully-funded youth development program, including tryout information for its boys Under-16 and Under-18 teams that will begin play this summer and which will compete in the prestigious U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
In an effort to afford the region's players the opportunity to train and compete at an elite level, the Revolution's youth development program will be fully-funded by the club. Qualified and talented players will be 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 - will be provided by the Revolution at no cost to the players or their families.
The Revolution conducted an information session in the Atrium of the East Fidelity Investments Clubhouse (Gillette Stadium, One Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035) on Tuesday, May 20. The Revolution's Director of Soccer, Michael Burns, and Director of Youth Development, Mario Prata, will make a presentation about the team's new youth system and will be available to answer questions about the program.
Tryouts for the Under-16 and Under-18 teams will be held in June on the grounds at Gillette Stadium. First-round tryouts for both the U16s and U18s will be conducted on the indoor turf field at the Dana-Farber Field House at Gillette Stadium. Players will only be permitted to attend one open tryout held to their appropriate age group.
Called-back and invited players will participate in the second round of tryouts, which will be conducted later in the week on the stadium turf field at Gillette Stadium. A full schedule of tryouts with dates and times is listed below.
