[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’m getting this a little second hand but my understanding is that the best soccer player my kid knows turned down DC United because it would limit his ability to play with foreign teams, which he has done in the past and is looking forward to doing in the future.  I’m not sure how that works but that’s what my kid told me.  [/b]
For OP, there are a lot of really nice clubs that play at a pretty high level that are not the ones being discussed here.  The ones discussed here can be a little cut throat.  If your son was considering taking a year off soccer, they might be a bit much.  They are really for kids planning on going pro or at least Div I.  [/quote]

I’m guessing here that it would limit his ability to play with foreign teams in that being affiliated with DCU will give him a disadvantage or make him less marketable bc the US now allows training compensation to be made to US clubs if a player moves abroad. So how that works is that if a US player signs a pro contract abroad, that club has to pay training compensation for clubs the player played for in different associations or country. So it starts at 12 and goes to 23.  So if your sons friend played for DCU Academy, they are owed training compensation for how many years the kid was at the academy. However, in the US, only MLS academies are allowed to seek training compensation so if the kid stays with a non-MLS club, they can sign on with a foreign team without the extra baggage.
