LOS ANGELES - April 18, 2018 - PRLog -- The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is excited to announce Revolution United FC as a new member starting with the 2018 Fall Season.

Based in Alton (N.H.), Revolution United FC begins UPSL play in the Northeast Conference, and will host its home games at two facilities in Alton (N.H.) in compliance with UPSL's Minimum Standards.

United Premier Soccer League Commissioner Yan Skwara said, "New England, and New Hampshire in particular, has proven to be a hotbed of expansion for the UPSL and we're pleased to welcome Revolution United FC to the UPSL Northeast Conference. Club founder Cory Halvorsen has done amazing job from top-to-bottom building Revs United from youth to pro development level. We wish Revolution United FC the best of success as it prepares to kick off the 2018 season."

Youth club partners with New England Revolution (MLS), Revolution United FC has offered an expanding base of competitive and premier-level teams and now includes more than 500 players ages 5 to 19.

Cory Halvorsen, 36, is the Founder and Executive Director of Revolution United FC. A native of New Hampshire, Halvorsen is a graduate of Pembroke (N.H.) Academy and also currently serves as the Boys Varsity Soccer Head Coach at Prospect Mountain HS.

Revolution United FC Founder Cory Halvorsen said, "Our history has really been on the youth competitive and premier side so this will be our first 'go' at a men's amateur team and an attempt to build that bridge and create a true feeder system. We've gone from state tournaments to national tournaments and have had a lot of success at the youth stage. We're in a place in New Hampshire that didn't have a lot of exposure to the game but there's a lot of talent here."

Formerly the Execultive Vice President of the New Hampshire Soccer Association, Halvorsen, who works in the Sporting Goods industry, is Team Owner of Revolution United FC's UPSL entrant.

"Looking at all our options, we feel the UPSL's Promotion/Relegation Model is the best fit for us to take the next step when we consider where our club is right now. We want to give another offering to players within our club and still be open to players at the collegiate age. Just looking that the growth of the UPSL and other teams opening up around us, this is definitely where we want to go. We've been competing against those clubs on the youth side and now I think it's going to be even more exciting competing against them in the UPSL ," Halvorsen said.

Revolution United FC soon will announce upcoming tryouts.
