[quote=westsidesoccer][quote=akindc][quote=rabbithole][quote=akindc]I noticed that BSC's excellent U13 MLS Next team didn't go to the Cup in Dallas, and asked why in another thread. Another posted said a bunch of their players moved over to DC United's new U14 Academy. 
So now I'm curious what programs the other players came from for this new team. Anyone have any first-hand knowledge?

I think it was Pipeline (a very good ECNL team) that sent a lot of players to DCU U14, not Bethesda.  Bethesda is already MLS Next.  I heard the Bethesda U13(s) didn't go to the showcase because they did a lot of tournaments this year.  [/quote]

Not saying you're wrong, but it would be really weird for them to skip the biggest tournament of the year, far and away. Especially since they were in first place in their region during the regular season of MLS Next.
And yes, BSC is in MLS Next, but DC United has a much, much better path to pro soccer now that there are homegrown player rules in affect. [/quote]

It's just a showcase for that age group.  A lot of the best MLS Next academies took a pass for that age group on the showcase.  It's obviously expensive and right in the middle of the summer.

It does not surprise me that Pipeline team is putting a lot of players on that DCU team.  Probably the best in the area in that age group and one of the best in the country.  Bethesda is strong as well.  Good age group in this area on the boys side.  We'll see how they do through the next few years of physical and mental development.[/quote]
