[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what about coaching stability for DCU?  with the restructuring of the program, do they have solid coaching for u15, u16 and u17?

DCU has 10 TOTAL employees in it's academy for four teams.  5 of those employees have very little to do with the day to day coaching of the players.  The director, the one scout, two administrators.and the equipment manager.  4  coaches and the one athletic trainer make up the rest of the staff. Your kid is not getting much individual development there.  Team development only and subpar team development at that because the methodology is based on leveraging speed size and direct football.  In contrast, Philly a Union has 32 employees in their academy with all teams having an assistant coach and a coach focused on individual development. And possession based philosophy.   They are not alone in the MLS academy system with this type of staff roster.

With DCUs investment in its staff alone, the coaching isnt good enough.  Couple that with the fact that the coaches at DCU are not amazing (but try very hard) and there you have it.[/quote]
