[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  In case anyone is interested in having their son try out for an academy or pre-academy program for the coming year, now is the time to look into it.  Bethesda-Olney is having open tryouts now for interested players, and the website gives information about how to contact a coach to make arrangements to try out.  DC United's website indicates that they will be posting Spring tryout info shortly.

Re fees, DC United posts fee info on their website for the U14, U16, and U18 academy teams, but not for the pre-academy teams (at least I couldn't find anything).  Their academy fees appear to cover the costs of travel.  Note that, at least for the current season, the travel seems to be a bit more extensive for pre-academy teams than for the academy teams, though I'm not sure that all DC United pre-academy teams send a their full roster to every game.  I have the sense that the DC United rosters for pre-academy are larger than those for Bethesda.

Our son is playing on a Bethesda-Olney pre-academy team this year, and I believe that the fee for the year was $1900.  This includes all training, games, tournanments and uniforms, but we are on our own for travel (we rely on our mini-vans and carpools).  All the boys on the team go to each game.  We have been very happy with the experience overall, and hope that our son will make one of the Bethesda-Olney Academy teams next year.

If you want to get a sense of what sort of travel would be involved for an academy team, click on the club(s) you are interested in on this page, then click on the age group: http://ussda.demosphere.com/Clubs/index_E.html
