[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok now this is a step forward.  Appalling that it wasn't in place before.  DC United posted this 30 minutes ago:

https://www.dcunited.com/news/d-c-united-launches-full-time-academy-program

Troy Lesesne stepped in as head coach, getting things done!  They saw this DCUM post and got right on it.[/quote]

Or they read the dcum post (unlikely) and laughed at all the ignorance being stated by people who obviously didn't know all this has been going on.

This announcement is way delayed to the public. [/quote]

So when did this program start?  And is it only for the U16 boys and not academy wide?[/quote]

Not academy wide.  Started this year.  Very vague on details, focus, goals, how they will be accountable for the development.  But at least they are trying to be better.  [/quote]

Yea it's a step in the right direction, hopefully it'll be all age groups next year.  Still boggles my mind that they are so far behind other academies, especially for being in an area like DC.[/quote]

It's what happens when as an organization you do nothing or the absolute minimum to get by while your competitors and their leadership have vision and actually execute and fund that vision.  The capital investment to make this happen for one age group is minimal by DCU. Why it's happening.  Creating a residency program and funding that, with a school, requires some real money.  DCU won't do that and if they do, there will be new leadership in there that will spark that.[/quote]

This still won't get your kid in the academy 
Or was it you who got turned away?

How many days and hours each week do you spend in agony over the rejection and stewing in self pity?
There has got to be something else you can  be obsessed with in the soccer world that actually has meaning and benefits you.
This can't be good for you mentally.

Let's say you recruit 100 DCUM people unto your anti DCU cause, what happens? 
😂[/quote]

Wrong, we're the ones that turned down the offer and went to a better funded academy.  If DCU was up to par, we could have kept our kid local instead of having to go into a residency program.  Try again.[/quote]

If your kid is top tier, he doesn't have to be at the best funded academy. 
Ballers don't need it.

The top ballers will be top ballers at any MLS Academy 
Whether top funded or 28th funded.

Yup Rocky trained in a barn and still beat Drago.  Anyone can do it.[/quote]
