[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCU will always be scouting top level kids within 75? mile radius from it's base.[/quote]

Anyone know whether DCU vigilantly enforces their regional rights? If a player wants to play for another academy, would DCU give them a hard time? How would they even know? Are MLS Academies required to report it?[/quote]

They can only enforce if the player is on their protected list.  I believe 54 players are on that protected list... 45 who play on the team and 9 who aren't on the team but are in their home territory.  If a player isn't on that list, they can play for any other academy.  But I do believe the outside academy does reach out to the players home academy as a courtesy if they want to sign the player.

Google MLS Academy homegrown rules.[/quote]

How does a player find out if they are on that protected list?  [/quote]

That I do not know.  I assume it would be a player that has had trials with the academy and maybe been told directly by them or through their club coach?  Players that the academy is keeping tabs on.  But you know what they say about assuming things.[/quote]
