[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pipeline’s Jacob Mays (USYNT 2011 national team) gets off DCUA’s protected list and immediately signs with Philadelphia Union’s Academy.

To be clear, because everyone misquotes this. The team is a 'futures' camp. The futures camp per the website is " for players from ages 14 to 16 years old, with the goal of identifying, supporting and developing high-potential players who physically mature later than their peers."

Futures is different from the regular camp. Still an accomplishment.

Also to note, 3 players from dcua are on the 2010 actual national team roster. [/quote]

What is a 'futures' camp? How does it differ from an actual academy? Are you saying he joined Philly Union 'futures' versus their academy?[/quote]

It's similar to the national team. But it's camp only for late physical developers. I'm guessing may look at them in coming years for the national team.

But everyone on ig that has any relationship with the kids keeps saying national team when it's 100% incorrect.

It has nothing to do with Philly union.

And yes, Philly is much closer to those players than dcu. Some of them have declined due to travel to dcu.
