[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where can you find game scores for the DCU U14 team?[/quote]

🤣 You can't.  There is no real team.  Welcome to DCU.[/quote]

There's a team but not a real team? [/quote]

You haven't been following.  Too much to explain again. Go through the thread to the part about how DCU decided to drop the U14s the year and have a makeshift "team" playing random games.[/quote]

Oh, they have a U14's Future Roster players program

Not sure that qualifies as makeshift and random 
[/quote]

considering that most academies have an actual team that trains together all the time, and they had a team at that age group last year, I think "makeshift and random" is fair for what it is now.[/quote]

The meanings of makeshift and random is subject to interpretation apparently

If the current U14's have a roster, structure and schedule,  that by nature makes it neither random nor makeshift

Frequency of training and games isn't a qualifier[/quote]

Oh?  Do they have those things?[/quote]

DCU doesn't have a u14 team this year. FULL STOP.  However you want to dress that fact up or play it down...be my guest. But that fact doesn't change.  Anyone saying otherwise is lying.  All of the kids playing with DCU at the u14 age group are basically guest players for DCU while still rostered and playing full minutes at their normal pay to play club.  [/quote]

DCU has a U14 Future Roster team 
They have a set roster list with selected game-day rosters 
They have a dedicated coach
They train weekly 
They have already played multiple games

All factual statements [/quote]

Future Roster, what a joke.  Can't fully commit to our kids, why do we send them there.[/quote]

We who?

Also, if you have goals and ambitions for your kid to take the best path to the highest levels of soccer, which club is a better option in the DMV than the Professional Academy of DCU?[/quote]

If you're planning to get to the highest levels of soccer, DCU CANNOT be your path.  It is not acceptable.  You'd be better off training on your own or with a smaller club that has coaches with similar goals and experience.  What works for you in terms of clubs is really individual preference.   Then find a better professional academy. DCU is a waste of time and valuable development years. Especially if your goal is the highest levels of soccer in our country.  its like saying you want to go to an ivy league school but put your kid in the worst school in the country.  Could it happen? .maybe.  but highly unlikely.  [/quote]
