On the heels of a very successful inaugural season with the men’s team, the Georgia Revolution have announced that they will form a women’s team. The women will compete in the WPSL during the summer of 2012.
"We are very excited to start a women’s team here. There are a number of ladies that have gone on to continue their playing careers from RYSA and we hope to have many of them competing on the fields here again this summer," said General Manager, Rafe Mauran. "A number of quality players have come through RYSA and Atlanta is a great place to recruit top young talent. I am very confident that we will have a quality side. I feel like this new team will be competitive right from the first kick."
More information on tryouts, clinics and tickets will be available soon.

By virtue of their Southeast conference co-championship in 2011, the Georgia Revolution have qualified for the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Started in 1913, the Open Cup is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the United States and is presently open to all United States Soccer Federation affiliated teams, from amateur adult club teams to the professional clubs of Major League Soccer.
"We are truly honored to be a part of the U.S. Open Cup", said General Manager, Rafe Mauran. "This will be a great opportunity for our club and our players to take part in this time honored soccer tradition in the United States. The fact that we have a chance to compete against professional teams and potentially an MLS side is unbelievable."
U.S. Open Cup information, including brackets, venue and ticketing will be released shortly.

Georgia Revolution striker, Jumol Harewood has recently signed with an agent as a result of his successful run with the Revolution and the NPSL All Star team. Michael Wheeler, FIFA agent and President of MAE agency stated, "Based on my time with the NPSL all star team, observing the practices and the quality of the players, I recently signed Jumol Harewood, who I will be sending to the MLS or abroad." Mr. Wheeler continued to state, "The NPSL gives a professional playing environment and I look forward to watching the NPSL league continue to develop players for the future."
Jumol has been invited to tryouts with the New England Revolution and Toronto FC of MLS. He is also looking into options abroad. "We are very proud of Jumol", said Revolution GM, Rafe Mauran. "He was key to our success last summer. We will miss his presence, and will follow him closely in the coming months as he pursues his professional goals. I have no doubt he will make it at the next level."
