[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of several kids at U-13 and up that were in the DCU ID process (they would train occassionally with DCU) and at least one other that made the jump (U-16 I think). I've also seen DCU coaches/scouts at Potomac games. If the kid is good, he'll get chances.   [/quote]

Exactly. the latest, is a 2011 who has trialed w DC.  if you’re actually in the club, ask one of the TD’s, Potomac is in thepathway 2 pro like most ECNL clubs in the area.  Now wether you want to send your kid to DC is another long thread

I was trying to let this thread die, thinking it must be from younger families who are learning what the top level looks like or maybe those 2015’s who left for project 90.

Since it didn’t…. The measure of local youth community clubs is not putting your kid to the USYNT and Pro academy.

The vast majority of kids on any of the local club’s TOP teams (ECNL AND Mlsnext HG (non affiliated)) are NOT going pro.

After you play Orlando city, Philly, RedBull, Miami teams you see the actual level of players on a pro path and enjoy the ride hopefully to high school and academic D3.  Even that pathway requires hard work and talent.

The handful that might make it,  
stand out: the work rate, the athleticism, the extra work, the game vision. And most of the won’t make it after  puberty and distractions of the teenage years.

Enjoy watching your kids play and seeing them learn about the hard work it takes and stop worrying about pro pathways. [/quote]
