Another former DCU kid that's thriving outside of DCUA.

LOL
Tell that to people who don't know all the departure details

Also tell that to people who don't know that every Barcelona Residency school in the World contractually has to send a couple players for training to the Barca Academy in Spain. Because it costs $75K a year to attend the Residency school.

Tell that to people who don't know it's just a week or two with other Barca Residency school kids and Not a tryout for the Real Barca Academy, since they don't have European Union citizenship.

Can fool some people some time.
Can't fool all the people all the time.

That kid was a top player at DCUA that used to play up. Hmm, I wonder why he would have left DCU and went to Barca Academy for 75k a year?

Because playing up caught up to him and his performance against older players fell off and his handlers lived in an alternate universe and didn't want to face reality.

So they chose elsewhere.

Lots of good info here, info that only academy parents would know. I wish I had this knowledge when DS started his journey.

Why do you care what is said about DCUA? So much pushback from something that doesn't impact you. Or does it?

Lots of false, misleading information and out of context exaggerations by people who hear stuff 2nd and 3rd hand and obviously don't have, never had, will never have kids at the academy.

Sad and pitiful adults. They need to focus on their kids, not the elite kids chosen to be at dcu.

What was false and misleading, out of context exaggeration? Everything was backed up by resources on the Internet, whereas you haven't provided any evidence on why DCUA is a good academy? Give us example of what you thought was false. Are you going to ignore again and disappear?

Thou seeketh relevancy to raiseth thy low self-esteem and insecurities

There are other threads beating up Achilles, Bethesda and other clubs. Share your invaluable toxicity there.
Your crusade here is wasted.

Every parent here will sign their kids with dcua academy tomorrow if invited.

Except, even in the case of Bethesda and Achilles, posters and parents are able to say what those clubs are good at relative to their peers. Here's another opportunity for you. Other than having most of the top players in the region, what is the DCU academy good at?

When the DC United scout contacts you about signing your kid, ask them.

So . . . . nothing? Got it.

You're like a broken record. Again, for the 100th time, no one is saying don't go to DCUA. Of course you go if they come knocking. But if your DS is exceptional and gets outside offers, take a real good look.

Right, because he wasn't performing in the upper age group, he left instead of playing in his age group. Makes sense.

That's exactly who it's for.

Oh, it’s just fantastic to see all the posts about players who left DC United Academy and are now flourishing elsewhere. But what about the players who stay? Nothing to worry about, I’m sure. Top talent getting sidelined? Marginalized? Destroyed? Nah, must be part of the ‘plan,’ right? And clearly, DCU leadership has it all figured out—they’ve done wonders with all that talent at their disposal. No homegrown signings this year? Totally normal. And of course, zero players from this ‘elite’ program making the national team? Must be all part of some genius strategy that just hasn’t revealed itself yet. Nothing to see here, folks!

These are the masterminds behind the DMV’s ‘top talent’! 😂 Check out the crew over at DCU Academy – the elite dream team sculpting future stars… or, you know, trying to.

Says you that these players are flourishing elsewhere.
But we hope that's the case, because the majority of us aren't about bashing Kids and heaping negativity on them.

Otherwise, why do you need dcua to live and breathe?
You have no kids there, so what's the unhealthy ridiculous obsession?

I would understand if you were a paying fan and upset with the senior team, but the trolling of the academy makes you a mental case.

Sport is about opportunities. The reality is that these kids got to play at La Masia and if you think that is nothing then you're just completely clueless. Right place at right time, you never know what could happen. This one opportunity is legitimately better than 4 straight years at DCU and more than DCU will ever give your son. Be happy for those kids that they got an opportunity. And be sad that DCU is giving your kid absolutely none.

Who said the move made sense?

His handlers are the geniuses. If he was performing against upper age groups and wanted to leave DC, then Philly or Red Bulls would be easy choices.

Not an extravagant pay-to-play in Arizona desert.
