[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In conclusion after all the experts have weighed in.

DCU Academy is the worst place for your kid
Send them to Philly Union or Red Bulls (open door policy)[/quote]

What is the Red Bulls open door policy?[/quote]

If we're all being encouraged to go there, I'm just assuming all DMV ballers can just head up the turnpike and sign-up[/quote]

They both have webpages where you can sign up and put your info, with highlights and schedule, but I wonder how often they look at that or actually scout that way.

I imagine they screen these submissions and at minimum, look into those who are already coming from another academy or can say they are a baller on an MLSNext/ECNL team. Or your coach/club has connections and reach out to them.

I don’t know and would love to hear what other families have done to be seen by other academies.[/quote]

Stop listening to the pied piper who's more interested in settling scores and getting you away from DCU versus getting you to a destination better for you.

How many kids do you seriously think can leave our DMV area and get into Philly Union and Red Bulls when they have a huge talent pool in their areas?

Again, all we're saying is that if your kid is good enough to be watched by DCU, reach out to other academies and have them take a look as well.  If your kid gets multiple offers, take a good look at each program and their resources.  Of course DCU is a no brainer if you get no other interest.[/quote]

This is not France, Spain, Brazil, Holland etc...
What's the big difference between your kid at DCU at home versus another academy 8 states away for a 13 year old alone?

Unless kid is a Cavan Sullivan or other generational talent.[/quote]

The big difference is that it is a significant commitment for the child and the family for a organization that isn't making the same type of commitment to your son.[/quote]
