[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]

They do look at those submissions, I know of a player that went to Crew that way.  I know of a player that filled out one of those forms and the scout came out to watch him at MLSNext Fest.  I know of another player that got picked up at MLSNext Fest because they were there to watch someone else but saw him instead.

At the club we're at, the coach would not actively contact academy coaches for his players.  I would be shocked if he did.

As in players have asked the coach to reach out to the academy and the coach says no?

Does the coach at least communicate with the academy if they reach out to them? Academies always ask for contact info for the players coach [/quote]

I'm not sure, I meant that the coach wouldn't proactively go out of his way to reach out to an academy about a player.

And yes coaches will tell you if an academy is interested.  I can't see a coach intentionally hiding it, I wonder what the repercussions would be.[/quote]

NP here. I have heard this about a club that is located in Montgomery County (don't want to say, but you can figure it out).[/quote]
