METRO UNITED TO COMPETE IN GIRLS DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY FOR 2019-2020

Metro United is excited to announce that it will be competing in the girls Development Academy for the 2019-2020 season.

Metro United will build and expand on the project started as the Washington Spirit Development Academy-VA in Northern VA. This is the evolution of the Academy built by our players, past and present, under the leadership of Tom Torres and George Hales. Next year, as Metro United, will mark the third year as a full girls DA.

Tom Torres will continue to lend over a decade of MLS and NWSL Development Academy experience. During that time, he has had a hand in developing countless professional and international players. Together, with George Hales, they created a professional training environment that combines elite player and youth development. Metro United, through an on-going partnership with the Washington Spirit, maintains a pro pathway. This includes U23s and Reserve opportunities completing the full player development cycle.

Metro United will expand its youth-club partner network to provide pathways into the US Soccer Development Academy environment for our community. Part of our mission is to work, under carefully developed plans, to enhance the soccer environment for our partner clubs and their players. Each partner brings something unique to Metro United and through our work together enhances the player environment for all.

Are other sports like this or is it just soccer?

soccer is a sport that most Americans haven't figured out yet... with other sports there isn't as much guesswork

That’s why there are so many predators selling snake oil and getting away with it.

US youth soccer counts on the confusion. This is why just when parents start to get an idea or feel for something it immediately changes. It’s beem that way since the 70s, but much worse now due to the sheer volume of youth players.

My kids really like the sport and since it’s the only one I played growing up, it’s the one I played with them since they could walk. But, I knew the crap involved and really tried to steer them in another direction away from this sport. It’s so ugly now in the US. Pay to play has gotten so ridiculously out of hand as well.

SYC got most of the kids while LMVSC is barely has enough kids for white teams.

No swapping just a full exudes to SYC

The grass is not always greener on the other side and parents will continue to complain like they always do.

SYC will not allow parents on the sidelines, all games will be streamed.

Soccer in American isn't a money sport where professional leagues pay for player development. The families of players pay instead.

And I will also offer your child individual ________ type of training for $600 per hour, but if you join my futsal academy for $750 I'll reduce that individual rate to $550 an hour. But, don't worry about the cost as I will help your kid get a college scholarship because I know a lot of those coaches.

I have heard the first pitch a few times; however, with both my boys playing travel and doing all sorts of supplemental training...NEVER and I mean NEVER have I heard a coach/trainer say that his training will help a kid get a scholarship nor do I know anyone who this has been said to. I think you blew it trying to be funny.

I agree, but only because I've never known a coach to be that concerned about a kid's future -- only about his own W/L record and how high he can move up/how much he can make as a professional youth soccer coach.

DD plays for local ECNL club. Her coach is a former college and pro player who has a regular job. He coaches because loves the game and probably likes being paid for his time.He and the rest of our staff care about the kids and their futures. It sounds like you guys are at the wrong clubs.
