Not paying 10k.[/quote]

Or looking to other MLS academies and what they have to offer for your son. You could also stay at a local club.  It all depends on what your goals are as a player.  Now, DCU is 10k to attend which is a barrier for a lot of parents and a nod to the soccer establishment in our country that is always catering to rich and well off parents.  With DCU basically being pay to play, there are lots of other options in that category.  Especially considering DCU isnt far superior than local clubs in terms of output.  [/quote]

Didn't know people were being forced to go to this club 
Thought it was optional if you were qualified

If it works for a family, fine. If it doesn't, fine I would think. 
Go to what's a comfortable fit

Why spend all day talking about the restaurant you don't want to go to or the car you'll never buy[/quote]

And now at 10k per year DCU will be even worse than it is today.  It will only land kids that can afford it and that means they will inevitably be soft and not gritty enough to compete at the highest levels.  Just like Bethesda.  DCU now that you have to pay for it, is just a really.bad option. It was a bad option when it was free.  But PAYING for DCU is flat out.stupid. [/quote]
