[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually PP, I am not confusing what an academy is.  Since I have a kid playing D1, I am pretty familiar with how coaches view what an academy is.  Since no one refers to the big A Academies as big A Academies, what you refer to is simply all levels of kids of the same age group practice together.  And yup, I know the OP is talking about very young kids. [/quote]

The original post mentioned academy in the context of young kids.  The term academy is used throughout youth soccer by clubs to refer to the grouping of teams within an age group and every coach or trainer in the region knows what an academy refers to when you're talking about this age range.  What kind of ass would bring Development Academies into a conversation about 5 to 8 year olds and then say that that only DC United and Bethesda offer a real academy, when the term academy was used correctly in the BRYC email and in the post? But since your kid made the team at at Longwood or some other bottom tier D1 school, I guess we should just bask in the wisdom you so kindly graced us with.[/quote]
