[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would DC United, an MLS team with training facilities for team players and U12 DA and above affect U9 Travel teams, or any rec team?  I don't think you know what you're talking about.[/quote]

It wouldn’t impact the u9-u11 level or Rec programs. It will impact the U12-U14 DA program. Either both the  DCU programs and Loudoun DA program would coexist, stealing players from each other and lowering the playing pool to get enough kids for two  programs. Or they will need to partner/combine their U12-14 DA programs. I believe Loudoun is already a feeder/partner for the DCU DA program based on the Loudoun materials. Not sure what happens to all of the. Maryland/DC players. Will they truck all the way out to  Loudoun? [/quote]

If they merged that is essentially the end of Loudoun DA. As a MLS club DC United is never going to lose their Academy status and as a full Academy, unlike Loudoun. There really is no incentive for DC United to merge with Loudoun. [/quote]
