June 25, 2008

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. � The Revolution announced the names of the players selected for its 2008-09 Under-16 and Under-18 youth program on Tuesday.

The Revolution�s groundbreaking youth program � which is completely free of cost to all chosen participants � allows the region�s top youth players to train under the guidance of the Revolution�s coaching staff and have the opportunity to one day play for the Revolution. The program, under Major League Soccer�s initiative, also allows all participants to retain their NCAA eligibility.

A Revolution Under-17 team, comprised of members of both the Under-16 and Under-18 teams, will make the club�s youth competition debut in early July when they compete in the second-annual SUM Under-17 Cup in Colorado.

The Revolution, which currently boasts Major League�s Soccer best record (8-4-3, 27 pts.), launched its Under-16 and Under-18 youth teams in April. Revolution Director of Youth Development Mario Prata, a former Portugal youth national team player and SL Benfica star, heads the program.
