[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, they cancelled the training sessions for their regular academy teams tonight so they could run a P2P ID session instead, so I guess they are serious about this.

Yes, you read that right.  "Sorry guys, you can't practice tonight.  We are holding a tryout for players trying to replace you instead."  [/quote]

This is one positive I see from the program.  It helps ensure that players already in the system at DCU will not get complacent given the regular reminder that their spots are at risk if they don't keep working.  It gives the players who participate more motivation to work hard and try shine at the sessions, and it gives the players who weren't called up for their sessions an incentive to work hard to try to make it the next time.  If DCU keeps on this path and expands the base of participating clubs, it could actually cause some good changes down the road. [/quote]

That being said, they shouldn't CANCEL a practice.  That's harming the development of the players they are trying to keep anxious about holding their spot.[/quote]
