[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there a waiver? What is the point of having a rule and then a waiver?[/quote]

Some kids are on athletic scholarships to private schools and will not have access to that education if they don’t play for the school.  MLS will typically waive the restriction and allow that kid to play.

I know alot of people in this area play for Arlington and ECNL specifically because their kid wants to play high school.  This is the right approach.

DCU should be looking for kids willing to sacrifice to go pro and pour their resources into them starting from age 14.  They are picking who “appears” the best at age 14 but if Mommy and Daddy feel it is more realistic to go to Princeton and choose those AP classes over additional football sessions, you end with the 💩 show that it the DCU academy.  Nobody has it all.  Successful business people know that you have to sacrifice something.

No decision is wrong for any family.  People have to simply make choices about what they want.  DCU needs to understand development is 75% mindset and most of these kids who have guaranteed 4-year college ahead of them are not hungry enough to go pro. [/quote]
