| Let's stick to the topic of the thread. Is DCU a good academy or not? Everyone knows, it isn't. If you don't you're kidding yourself. |

Hmmm let's see: Top facilities Free education and tutoring Better coaches and trainers International travel and exposure Real investment from the club Better results Better scouting which impacts training environment Strong identity and philosophy throughout the teams and club Resources Technology to assist training environment Measurement of development progression of the players Could go on and on. DCU has massive deficiencies in all of these areas. Other top academies don't. Like was said in a prior post, your logic is seriously flawed. No club worldwide is producing pros for elite leagues at a rapid rate. La Masia, Zagreb, ajax, benfica, sporting Portugal are all similarly situated in this way and they are some of the best youth academies in the world. You're basically saying that those clubs are just the same as DCU because they aren't producing pros at a rapid rate. On its face, that is a seriously flawed position. Players in those clubs have better chances at being pros because they have all of the things above that DCU doesn't. Same with better MLS academies that have all of the things above (like Philly, real salt lake, red bulls etc) It is pretty simple and obvious. Chances are slim everywhere. Better academies increase your chances. DCU is not one of those better academies. Not hard to understand. |

did they drop the entire u14 team for just next season or indefinitely? |

DCU literally does ZERO to develop youth soccer talent in the DMV. Not only did they cancel their U14 team (after giving offers!) but they offer ZERO training opportunities for kids in the DMV area; no youth programs like the NYRB RDS programs. DCU used to offer such programs (all for a fee, so it's not like they were doing it for free) but they cancelled all of that years ago. Hard to believe that in this area, one of the areas of the country with massive interest in soccer, the MLS club is so poorly managed with respect to youth talent development. |

Can you let someone else get a comment in edgewise buddy? You ain't saying nothing new you haven't said a thousand times since you created the thread We know you constantly reply to make the thread remain active for your obsession in psychotic fashion |

Do you work for DCU? The fact that you assume I'm the OP displays the type of ignorance I'd expect from someone at DCU. I'm not the OP just a parent with several children who play soccer in the DMV. Get it through your skull that lots of different people are weighing in on this thread and that lots of people have a poor view of DCU based on what they've (not) brought to the development of youth soccer in the DMV. |

And who gave you the right to control the thread again? Entitlement at its finest. DCU deserves you. I am the one who writes all the long posts and this last one was not from me and I don't sock puppet. There are just a lot of people who share the same views. You're the outsider. Keep responding though because you are the one keeping the thread alive. |

And everyone knows it's you that claimed that DCU cutting the U14s next was a lie. You also said DCU making the parents pay for schooling was absurd and wasn't happening. All posted weeks ago and proven to be true. You must be way in your feelings right now. A kid at DCU and they are charging you five figures for sh#t programming and schooling. Cannot get any worse. Keep defending them and they will keep screwing you. And keep posting. I will be here to respond with real information not deflection and name calling. |

Their soccer summer camps are overpriced nonsense too |

If I had a kid at dcu, six figures would be fine with me Where is your kid and how much are you paying. I think that should be your focus. Not stalking other people's children or the organization that rejected you long ago |

Why should we care what dcu is doing for development of kids that are not ours? Also, who's measuring development and with what from outside? Can you give details on the development happening or not happening with each individual kid at every team in the area too? |

This just smells and looks and feels like good ole old fashioned jealousy and envy If your kid was as good as the kids at dcu and doing well elsewhere at a higher level, you'd not be stalking dcua children and parents Pitiful and sad |
