Preacademy isn't a new team it's just the renaming of the teams.

Exactly - OP here - so staying on the same color is effectively a demotion. That's was the point of my prior post, and also why the lack of communication from the club is disappointing (though not surprising these days).

Same here. I wonder if they will even bother telling us why.

Thanks Gerardo/Alex/Khaled et al lol

What is that supposed to mean?

But how would that affect older age groups?

Yes, although of course it’s a joke. DCUM frequently tosses around initials or names and if I don’t recognize it I usually just go to the club website’s staff page.

Offers have gone out down to at least Blue and Black teams as of this morning

Have all offers gone out? We don’t have one yet (returning player). Have there been cuts for returning players or are we late in getting our offer?

Know of two teams in a younger age group that got most if not all of their offers today. Lots of kids getting pushed down and being replaced by outside players that are clearly worse. It’s like they are deliberately cleaning house of internal players, including just cutting players entirely from the travel program (if reports on DCUM are to be believed, I personally don’t know any yet).

What's the motivation for doing this
