[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good day,
I'm just trying to find out some information for the DC United academy teams u14 and u15.  When do they hold tryouts?  I know practice fields was an issue for DC teams due to COVID, but I'm not sure if DC United was affected.  I've also been searching for game schedules for the 2 mentioned age groups.  Are they currently playing?[/quote]

Where does your kid currently play?  DCU has a relationship with a number of local clubs, talks to the coaches, scouts their games, and invites some of the kids to monthly practices known as "P2P".  It's not clear whether P2P is happening right now due to covid.  Outside of these clubs I'm not convinced DCU scouts widely and this this is probably your most likely route in - I'm not aware of too many kids who make it in via other routes.

Clubs which have good contacts into DCU are Arlington, VDA, Pipeline, and Alexandria.  I assume that SYC and Achilles may now be in the loop as well given their inlcusion in MLS Next but haven't seen hard evidence of this myself.  I also know that Bethesda sends the occasional player to DCU although they don't seem to send kids to the P2P sessons.

You could try e-mailing Dave Sanford directly as well and see if you can set up a tryout or get him to come and scout a game - click on the link on this page: https://www.dcunited.com/academy/coaches-and-staff.

We just moved here 3 months ago and we now have custody of my 2 nephews from Brazil.  My coworker has mentioned Bethesda, Baltimore Armour, DC United, Pipeline and MD United.  With the last 2 places being their bottom choice.  Does any of the other places mentioned have a U14 team? Or does DC United U15 roster 07 kids also?   I"m trying to avoid having them play at separate clubs[/quote]
