[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Through social media, I’ve noticed that there are a few local players who moved to academies outside of DC.

How did they do that? Did they reach out to those clubs when they were not scouted by DCU? Or did they move there from DCU? How would one get into those clubs without triggering interest from DCU? Or is that not possible? That is, those clubs are required to disclose to DCU that a player in their region is being considered at their club?[/quote]

Couple of ways.  Most often, those academy scouts see them at national events like MLS Flex or whatever ECNL events there are.  Or, the player can reach out to the academy with highlight tape or whatever, and if interested, they will come out to evaluate them at an event.

If your kid is good enough to be noticed and picked up by another academy, they were probably on DCU's radar.  With the new homegrown rules, any player can move to an outside academy with no restrictions.  Unless they are on DCU's protected list.  If that's the case, they will have to negotiate a trade.  I am not sure on what amount is paid for the trade.  But the protected list includes DCU's current roster and 9 additional players in their territory.  You can also get off of that list if you move into another academy's territory with a parent.

I think I missed a couple of points, but that's the jist of it.[/quote]
