[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have seen 6-7 posts about Arlington boys players being scoped up by a variety of MLS academies. Does the club have a formal relationship with MLS to
enable this (via tryout or other pathways) or is this just coincidence? [/quote]

What are the varieties of MLS academies?[/quote]

Lot of outside academy's are eyeing DMV players.  We have a lot of talent in this area but have a shitty local academy.[/quote]

Texas, California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Florida has a lot of talent

No region has a MLS  academy that can fit all the talent in their area.

Even with all the academies in London, they can't fit all the talent there on their rosters.
Same goes for Paris etc etc [/quote]

If those talent rich areas are scooping up DMV players, does that mean DCU is full of super studs?  DCU can probably fit more players from the area since they have no residency program.[/quote]

DCUA recruits athletes, not soccer players. There are a few exceptions but for the most part if you are not an early bloomer who can run past people - forget about it. Other academies are taking a long term approach by focusing on skills and projecting where a kid will be in a few years. The latter approach is how development is supposed to work. DCU is just an awful academy and their actions this weekend show that the attitude matches the talent. [/quote]

Is that why they dropped the U14 team? To see who actually grows into the athlete they are looking for?[/quote]
