[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No facilities, weak coaches, no money, no exposure outside the US, no consistent instructional methodology, revolving door of staff, less than 10 employees for all teams, 2 players on youth national team in 5 years, horrible reputation nationally and intentionally, crappy politics with US soccer, weak college connections, terrible administration, full time program for one age group only, barely dominant locally with all the best kids, bus program recently dropped because of money, glorified kick ball The list is actually endless...[/quote] Wild. They do have facilities with access to fields and gym time. They were smart and partnered with VA Rev to renovate there because they have 4 professional teams already at the IPC center and doing this allowed the kids to train more, attend the school, have their own gym….sounds horrible lol. They have multiple kids on national teams, they have new leadership who are making moves to bring them next level, the full time program has always been available to all kids, the club announced the full time fully funded expansion to the 16s as a trial year this year and from the start had said it was expanding to the other teams next year….it doesn’t matter who comes here and tells you exactly what the truth is- you are just going to find a way to whine🤷🏻♀️ it’s a relatively new fully funded program. They have done nothing but grow since then. The club is investing significantly each year and expanding resources. I guess you think something like this is built overnight-it’s not. We can cry about if it should have been done sooner or whatever reason you will use to justify digging in your heels but the reality is for the last 4 years, they have been constantly making changes and adding resources to improve. Your loss I guess. I don’t have 108 more pages of investment in this to keep coming back and correcting your lies and misinformation. Sorry that your kid isn’t able to make it which is the vibe you give off. My kid is doing great and has had significant opportunities because of playing in the club. You can whine about what you think is wrong for 108 pages more or you can find a good fit for you kid and get over DCU. [/quote] TLDR: DCUA is still playing catch up with the newer and better academy teams.[/quote]
