[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U16 DORADUS SDOR 05 ELITE (VA) cheated their way to the finals today by having at least 3 DCUnited rostered players on their team.  It may not be Doradus policy but it sure is DCUnited’s policy current rostered players can’t train or play with other teams. [/quote]

This is more a result of US Soccer's/MLS's/DCU's ineptitude in developing a youth program than it is nefarious intent on the part of Doradus.

Basically, DCU's U16s are in no-man's land. They want to continue to train at DCU but (most) can't fight their way into a starting lineup with a roster of 40 kids on the U16/U17 books. As recently as last year, the DA's U16 teams would spend a year in EDP--except for the few who could get game time at the U17 level. That was sensible, but not sure whether it will continue this year.

So these U16s are going out and looking for clubs who are willing to give them significant game time without them actually having to train regularly with the team. I don't know to what extent DCU is arranging these awkward relationships, but you can bet that they approve of them.

[b]The only people who really have grounds to be upset are the kids (and parents of kids) at Doradus and other clubs where they work their asses off and pay the club and coach only to have game time snaked by DCU because DCU doesn't want to go out of its way to actually ensure that its academy members are afforded sufficient game time to develop[/b].[/quote]
