You really are past your wits end because of your kid getting rejected by the Academy

Are you so blinded by your emotional distress it hasn't crossed your mind that educated intelligent successful parents have kids at DCU?
Or you're assuming DC is taking advantage of underprivileged kids from low socioeconomic households with parents who don't speak English?


You do what you think is best for your kid and let them do what they want to do with theirs.
They obviously did well enough so far that their talented kids were chosen over yours.

Book smarts doesn't equal common sense. You can have all the paper credentials in the world and that doesn't make you knowledgeable about football and how the system works. Educated people also make sorry a## decisions. Just like you did.

The fact that you think this is one person writing these posts is hilarious.

It was a direct response to you who made the idiotic PP post and by extension to all the dcua axe grinders repeating the same butt-hurt dribble

Except for all the DCU kids going to D1 and Ivy League colleges, your statement would be correct 😂

DCUs role in any kid going to the ivy league or D1 is absolutely minimal to nothing. This in house schooling is totally unproven with DCU. Those kids were going to different high schools and probably would have gotten to the schools they did completely without DCU.

I agree with the PP. Leave a top public or private high school in the DMV to go to DCUs online school???!! So you can train more at DCU who has no idea what they are doing??? To each his own, but there is just no way. You're relying on DCU to educate your kids and teach them football which they have proven they can't do. In either discipline. I couldn't in my right mind sign my kid up for that.

I hope for the kids that are there DCU really does something for them but no one is holding their breath on that. And yes, the classroom is in the concession area at VA revolution. Ridiculous.

Yes, the Ivy League coaches didn't take into consideration at all the soccer aspect when recruiting 5 kids to Ivy League Soccer programs last year.
They just went off academics then at the first day of training they asked them which clubs they came from lol

Book smarts doesn't equal common sense. You can have all the paper credentials in the world and that doesn't make you knowledgeable about football and how the system works. Educated people also make sorry a## decisions. Just like you did.

You being the only knowledgeable person on dcum with the highest level national and international credentials and experience, along with your vast top tier European clubs network.
Can you please tell us where your kid is today?
How many kids have you groomed to Champions League levels?

What is your current status in international football?

Dropping the name of the director of scouting that everyone knows is indeed dropping crazy details and means this person is an authority and is the oracle of the dmv soccer world.

Can they tell us precisely what the dcua scouting criterion checklist are for recruiting a U16 player?

So you're saying we're not getting advice from someone qualified to do so?

You're just beating your gums because DCU hurt your feelings?

Yeah currently it’s big, fast with parents that we can lie too or anything identified by programs with real resources that we can stop from leaving the area.

.

I’m not looking for advice, thanks. Honestly, everyone at that academy just talks non-stop, and at this point, I’m amazed nobody knows all this already. Hurt my feelings? Lol, yeah right. DCU academies’ track record speaks for itself, and let’s be real—more players who’ve signed pro contracts left the area and never even played for them. Clearly it’s their feelings that are hurt.

NO THIS DOES!

“ Lmao!! Oh, absolutely, go ahead and take all the credit. Take credit for the academy director you ran off—the one who actually tried to fix this disaster but, of course, was never given the resources to succeed. Bravo. Then, take credit for the circus act you replaced him with—because who needs experience or qualifications when you have Ithaca College and house mom at revs on your résumé? That’s obviously the fast track to the big leagues.

And let’s not forget the legendary DOC with a résumé so underwhelming it makes a losing girls’ youth coach and a college assistant from a program that hasn’t been relevant in a decade seem like a top-tier hire. Oh wait that was his resume. lol Truly groundbreaking stuff.

Oh, and the scouting director? A true gem. Nothing screams “talent identification expert” quite like someone who looks like they haven’t seen soap in years and the highest level of experience was coach at the mount. Impressive credentials, really.

And as for the staff coaches—yeah, let’s just pretend nobody noticed the quiet exits from previous jobs due to ahem “interactions with players.” No red flags there at all. Fantastic work all around. Lmao”

Sounds like an emotional 13 year old young lady wrote this.

Lay on the couch and tell us what DCUA did to you.
You need to move on with your life before you have a stroke or coronary.

It didn't work out for your kid at DCU, life isn't over.
