DC United Academy - aa strong academy or not

And ANY trainer that tells you that if you're a good player in the DMV then you're one of the best players in the country is flat out lying to your face.

EVERY trainer will feed you those lies to have you keep coming back.

Not all of them but I agree, a lot of them BS the parents to keep those fees coming.

If you have a striker and your trainer has them collecting balls only on the ground ask them why are they doing that when many of the balls they receive won't be on the ground when they play.

If you have a midfielder and your trainer is never requiring them to receive the ball with pressure on their back ask them why not and suggest trainings with pressure. If they can't produce that look elsewhere.

If your club is playing your son up because he is physically developed but he has weak fundamentals don't be excited by this prospect...ask the club why are they playing him up when he needs to work on his fundamentals.. Relying on size at young ages while neglecting your fundamentals is death to the player as they get older..

Just a few examples...

DCU must be trolling this feed to shut down the critics. Another homegrown pro player named: Oscar Avilez (15 yr old)

How does that work? They cut ties with Loudoun, they don't have a second team, and he's definitely not playing with the first team. Where do signed kids play? Do they just get loaned out to USL teams to develop?

Wish I could pick his parents brain about their decision to sign with DCU, given the state that they are in. Signing with them means they own their kid for the next 4+ years. On every academy besides DCU, you sign and play on their second team. Where do signed DCU kids go? Might as well have tried out for USL teams and sign with them for the 2 years, then set eyes towards Europe with no one owning your rights.

I hope he is good enough to break through the first team and get to Europe like Parades.

I don’t know much about him but hope he is better than USL level to break into the first time or has a loan deal setup so he can play now and keep developing.

I will be rooting for the kid regardless.

Congratulations to the kid and his family.
This must be a great positive day in their household

Only a few will know what its like.

Unfortunately, the envious, jealous and toxic people will appear from the swamps to flap their gums

This thread went silent when the old man called ya’ll out for being rich MF’s which stung like hell and made you go silent for a week.

Don’t go acting like ya’ll are really ready to ball and open up the market to ALL competition. As currently structured, the rich kids get private training which advances them through U14 and DCU does nothing but cater to that as they are “Ashburn-ites” themselves. We just saw how DCU and MLS operate with the “open” ID weekend and P2P invitations. Their process is in direct opposition to San Diego.

His family probably does not know what they are doing. I STILL HOPE HE IS TALENTED TO RISE ABOVE THE BS. Please note he is from VA Beach which is not affluent.

Great deal for DC United. They “control” a super talented player for 4 years. I hope the family is strong enough to navigate it.

- Sincerely, 2013 dad educated on my options for my child and able to afford training and not looking for free handouts.

Sad, toxic, despicable, pitiful, sad, angry and consistently envious

I wonder why you make an assumption this particular family is incapable of making intelligent decisions?

👿 👿 👿

If my kid is not eligible for DCU, please explain how I am envious when DCU has no documented blueprint to bring the kid up to the first team like all of the other MLS academies?

DCU management must be trolling this thread. Wishing the kid the best despite choosing DCU. If you have documentation to PROVE DCU is doing right by the kid, please provide it. We all know it is not.
