The elementary school kid is back with intellectual hard hitting comments

No worse than your posts that only deflect and ask questions. You've got nothing left.

Maybe you should use a little critical thinking before posting tantrums

Then when questioned, you don't just lash out at being questioned, but can actually provide logical facts and truths.

But Stupidity can't hold up to logic. It only thrives among like stupidity.

Doesn't change the fact that DCU is the laughingstock of the MLS academy system

Go finish playing with your Tonka truck

You're looking at the scoreboard of games played by 14 year old kids and that tells you what?

Which system is teaching kids how to play football whilst also simultaneously focused primarily on the score?

Almost if not every team dcua plays against are using biobanded kids to win. That's their main and only focus.

DCUA uses all players on their rosters in different roles and positions.
That alone tells you winning isn't the priority, unless you're a moron who doesn't know soccer.

If the DC Academy was focusing only on beating a Bethesda or Achilles or SYC, they would only play on-age the best players in their preferred best positions.

You ignoramus should really stick to threads and topics about Capelli uniforms being late for delivery.

Keep telling yourself this...

Which parts are the PP telling themselves that you have evidence to prove its not true?

The PP isn't saying anything. Just asking questions. Reality is they have no points to prove or disprove.

Really?
So the facts stated DCUA rotates their entire roster through different roles and positions to bolster individual development instead of playing the best players in their best positions to focus on winning isn't saying anything.

You consider that a question?

You can tap-out at any time.

Rotating your roster is tables stakes. No credit given for that. Them rotating their roster doesn't mean a whole lot when they don't teach them the roles.. pretty easy to understand

Now that DCU is fully funded and free to academy members, I think it's fair to say DCU gave them a bag of goods that isn't worth a damn thing.

Can you share the daily training videos you review consistently?

I just assume you're familiar with what the 4 teams does in training everyday including audio of the conversations between coaches and players.
Otherwise you wouldn't be making statements about what they do or don't teach the kids.

What is DCU selling the poor unknowing parents who have no clue about soccer?

Curious as to how you have this extensive database of what all parents of former, current and future dcua kids think and know?

You're obviously confused

Like was said, it isn't about the score, it is about the lack of football teaching and the reflection of that on the field.

Well, can't argue with your opinion
You see and interpret what suits your narrative

Kinda like religion and politics

I hesitate to respond to this ridiculous person, but knowledge of training is not necessary to judge the success of a program. All of the measurable facts are elsewhere in this thread re: individual player promotion and development, results at the youth level, investment in the program, staff turnover, facilities, etc. And . . . for those of us who have regularly seen them play, they are well behind the other academies in MLS Next Mid-Atlantic. Specifically the U15 squad, even if they are rotating players, has a superior roster to all of the teams in the area. Their individual players can dominate their defenders for moments or stretches of play. They simply don't have an apparent plan and do not circulate the ball or play well as a team, especially compared to Union. Red Bull have an even more physically dominant team selection, but at least they play a style to fit it.

So we can narrow down that the hurt you've experienced has something to do with the U15's?

What can you show us that is completely objective without doubt in soccer academy development context that proves dcua is behind the other mid-Atlantic academies?
(who are the other Mid-Atlantic academies?)

If DC was to indeed be behind Philly Union and NY Redbulls, so what?
Which country in the world are all academies on par?
Which country in the world doesn't have dominant academies?

Just tell us the path your kid is on to Champions League and how can everyone get a piece of the action. Save time.

You think circulating the ball as a team at U15 is Individual development on the path to Individual growth to professional levels?

Which Pro Scouts have 'Team Ball Circulation' as a measurement of a player?

That a joke?

Do you think taking too many touches, poor decision making, and lack of off ball movement is what pro scouts are looking for? If so, you're in a great spot, and don't worry about it. Take less time defending it and just enjoy the ride.
