[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]saw couple of dcu back packs at local ID, what's going on at DCU bench warmers testing water?

what no way why would they[/quote]

Why would they not?  They are not getting minutes and risk of being cut.  Why not go where they can get playing time before their playing years run out?[/quote]

This is a good perspective.  What most parents fail to understand about this game and the developmental pathway is that you have a very limited amount of time.  Of course everyone develops at different rates and that is clear.  But if a player didn't spend their u9-u14 years mastering the ball, really.mastering the ball, they will have a hard time catching the elite players that did.  There isn't enough time to get enough touches to catch up.  Especially if you're in MLS academy football and practicing 4 days a week and game on weekend.  Your body is in recovery mode on your down time and if it isn't, you're increasing your injury probability.  The bottom line is this...you have a limited window of time in the game no matter what.  The more you waste it not improving, the harder it becomes to be an elite player.  DCU, in its current state, is effectively wasting time, if you want to be a pro footballer.  If you want to be a decent college player, could be ok for that.  But pro, very unlikely in their system.  [/quote]

So tell the class exactly what the kids (all of them) at DCU Academy are doing Monday through Sunday. 
Then tell us comparatively exactly what their matching age group kids are all doing Monday through Sunday at Philly Union Academy

After that, please tell us exactly what all the current DCU kids did daily in regards to soccer from U9 to U13?

If you can't give us the answers, please explain how you've reached your conclusions?[/quote]

you've made up your mind about DCU, no one is trying to convince you or change your mind.  DCU is a good fit for  you and your son which is great!  The poster is only providing different view points and insight into the process from his/her perspective. As readers, we do our own individual critical thinking and come to our own conclusion.  The poster doesn't have to explain him/herself anymore than what he/she has offered.  Let's all get along and not attack view points that differs from our own.[/quote]

You think someone has to have a kid at the academy to point out nonsense?[/quote]

If not, then you/the poster have way too much time to sit on this forum and spending that much calories responding.  Go out to the youth soccer world and be the change agent that is needed for the young generation of soccer players.[/quote]
