[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, are we all now so sad, pitiful and jaded drowning in insecurities and low self-esteem we're trying to form a group to collectively hate and disparage the local academy because our kids weren't qualified or exceptional to be selected by them?

Sad shameful and despicable

Here's your option. 
Don't accept an invitation from DCU  if offered and or just  take your kid to Philly or NEW York if they'll have him.

Seems much simpler than this pitiful display [/quote]

I mean that is what players are doing, trying to not be scouted by DCU and focusing on getting into an academy somewhere else. [/quote]

Yes,  we should believe you that all the good players and their families in the DMV area that are MLS  academy level talent are seeking avenues outside the area.

You're so focused on this crap you can't even hear how ridiculous you sound. [/quote]

When local kids are offered spots by outside academies, including DCU, guess which ones they go for?[/quote]

If they can, they are going to places other than DCU for sure. [/quote]

The ones I know have gone to Red Bulls and Philly Union. I do know one kid that had offers in other states for other academies, but ultimately went to DCU because his family didn't want to relocate and the other offers didn't offer residential so to take the offers the family would have had to move.

Sad to hear. MLS didn't do anybody any favors really allowing these territorial rights. Def agree with previous posts that there are better MLS academy options than DCU. There needs to be better in this area and what DCU provides pales in comparison to other clubs, but it starts at the top and until changes come there, nothing will change at the bottom. Look what's happening with the local football team...[/quote]

Are the Division 1 leagues in South America and Europe rosters filled with only players from the best academy?

Of the 26 mls academies in our country, you are saying if a kid isn't at one that in our opinion is in the top 5 they have no chance and 21 academies are a waste of time?
