[quote=Anonymous]DCU is also the only American MLS club that doesn't have a second team. What that means for the academy players is that there is no pathway to the first team if you're not at the level at 18 (which few kids are). That means most players bounce and go to college. Which is no different than pay to play really. With no pathway to the first team AND no development happening in the academy at the youth ages, it isn't shocking that DCU has minimal to no representation on the first team from.the academy (the sole purpose of the academy). Again, if your goal is professional football, DCU is a dead end for that. Very hard and so many obstacles within DCUs system. Better target for college soccer but I would argue that you're taking a hit academically in DCUs program and that could limit your ceiling in terms of the bat school you could get into.[/quote]
