[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a DCU scout at many of my son's U13 MLS Next matches last season, especially during the fall.  Because DCU Academy doesn't start until U14, this is an easy way for them to scout many of the region's best players.  I also heard they have invited a fair number of 2011s into the academy.  I know of two, at least.[/quote]

So they only scout little kid mlsnext matches?  Quite a waste.  A lot of those doors are political and early growers/puberty.

There is a huge region of players and they miss out on serious future talent with their stupid limitations.[/quote]

They scout ECNL clubs too and there are a few clubs that have relationship/programs with them like PPA.  You can often see what clubs DCU kids are coming from - BSC, Alexandria, Arlington, Pipeline, Achilles, PPA, etc.

Those clubs will like already have close relationship with DCU scouts. But occasionally they’ll get someone from a smaller less known club like Cerritos. I think it would be more work to get scouted if you are not at a major club but if the club and coach go to bat for your kid, I think it can be done. [/quote]
