Great question. It’s almost like they just stop looking. It’s like they recruit and pick kids when they are in 7th or 8th grade and then are so convinced that they have the best players that no one else can get in. It’s almost like a general manager who drafts someone #1 overall and then is unwilling to bench them because they want so badly for their pick to be validated.

Meanwhile you have other MLS and ECNL clubs competing and sometimes beating the MLS academies who claim “development” whenever they don’t win a game.

Wouldn't the existence of new U15's and U16's at DCU this season make your above statement all BS?

The DCU P2P program is primarily a marketing and ticket sales initiative, mutually agreed upon by the clubs involved. While it’s presented as a legitimate opportunity, the reality is far different. Having a relationship with DCU provides little to no tangible benefits for player development. The clubs that genuinely produce talent understand that DCU is often not the best option. However, families are still drawn to it, making it more about packaging than substance. The DCU academy’s scouting department, unfortunately, lacks competence and direction, highlighting the program’s underlying issues.

Many of the clubs involved in the P2P program openly acknowledge these shortcomings. They recognize that the initiative is more about optics than actual player development, and they often voice their concerns about the lack of meaningful benefits for players and clubs alike.

Even a DCU academy scout has admitted they have no say in determining which clubs become part of the P2P program, as these decisions are entirely managed by the business side of operations.

All the MLS Club Academies have the same P2P program.

In theory, you’re absolutely right that the P2P program model for most MLS club academies follows a standard structure. However, clubs like DC United fail to provide real value to their affiliates beyond the occasional “ID sessions” and tickets to subpar games. Contrast this with programs like Union, NYCFC, and Red Bull, which offer significant benefits to their partners, such as access to advanced coaching resources, developmental support, and structured opportunities for players to grow beyond just the pathway-to-pro dream.

The issue in the DMV is the lack of a real, organized legislature pathway to pro. The infrastructure isn’t there, and the investment isn’t focused on actually helping players succeed. Without meaningful benefits or systems in place like those provided by Union or Red Bull, the dream of a pathway to pro in this area feels more like marketing hype than a legitimate opportunity.

Your opinion is noted for the record

All you need to know is that no player in the history of the P2P program at DCU, which was introduced 6 years ago, has ever become a pro at DCU. If you want to know how much of a marketing gimmick it is, there you go.

How old is MLS Next?

Which academies have sent affiliate p2p players to Professional ranks?

2020

Just off top of my head and in our own region, both Aaronson brothers, mcglynn, both Sullivan brothers at Union. Carrizo at nycfc. All in last six years.

Not sure why they bother soliciting names of players from ECNL when they are part of MLS and MLSNext is the better league.

They have a P2P program and scout the partner clubs as well as anyone else they damn well choose to scout, MLSN or otherwise. There is seriously no need to *hit on kids who have an opportunity to be scouted. If you were actually someone with expertise on the issue, you'd be employed by the academy as a scout and too busy with your actual job to be on here carrying on with MLSN>ECNL ad nauseam.

Not attacking anyone, particularly kids. I also don’t post “ad nauseum” on the topic, no need for the ad hominem attack.

Nice try but that’s exactly what you did. You’re attacking little boys’ credentials is what you’re doing. It’s gross. You don’t know these kids most likely so assuming they’re unqualified bc they play on ECNL teams is utter nonsense. It would be better for you to STFU about it and let them and their families enjoy the opportunity the boys earned. No one needs your stupid commentary.

As impartial observer I must say that you are now overreacting.

How dare you demean the professional credentials of my little boy 😂

Haha. Someone had a case of the Mondays…
