3 Dates and Locations Scheduled in Southern New England

May 6, 2009

The New England Revolution will conduct open tryouts for its Under-16 and Under-18 teams at locations around southern New England between May 26 and June 2.

Entering its second season, the Revolution’s youth program competes in the prestigious U.S. Soccer Development Academy.

Qualified and talented players will be accepted into the Revolution’s youth 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 are eligible for the Under-16 team if they were born on January 1, 1993 or after. Players eligible for the Under-18 team were born on January 1, 1991 or after. Players will only be able to attend one open tryout session. There is no fee to try out.
