[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, many interesting takes on DCU and their lack of success as academy and their overall culture and environment.  From this, my takeaway if you have other options, take them.

So, I am not in the DMV, but close enough.  The area that I am in has sent players to other academies other than DCU even though it's the closet to our location.  Columbus, Charlotte and Philly.  Two more heading to Philly next year.  That will make around 4 or 5 kids from the local club up there.

I do know a player going to DCU next year, just for their last year, for the experience.  They are currently player with another MLS Next club.

Also, if you can make arrangements for other schooling, you are not bound to the $10k cost of DCU.  The player I know is able to finish their school in their home district with the online option they offer, for free.

Great perspective and thank you.  Consistent with what I've heard too.  If an online school is available in your area and it meshes with DCUs schedule, then that is an option.  But if not, you have to pony up or go so replace else.  And yes, if a player has other options, definitely explore them or take them.  DCU is not the way.  [/quote]
