There are unfortunately two local clubs who ruined the chance for their players to get the most from the opportunity and experience

They made life miserable for the parents and players in regards to participating in the program. Blocked the kids at every turn.
Sad


while those two clubs let their kids participate in weekly practice with dcua, they wouldn't let them participate in the 3 weekends the futures played tournaments/games. but it wouldn't be tru to suggest that no one from those two teams were selected for the team for next season. instagram posts confirm this just isnt the case

For those of us without a DCU kid, would you be willing to share: are these U13/U14 boys? Which clubs do they come from mostly? Which clubs blocked the kids?


Yes, u13/14

Bethesda and Baltimore Armour are the ones who blocked their kids from participating or made it extremely difficult

Kids pretty much come from all the MLS Next and ECNL clubs in the dmv

Nicely framed question and the mudslingers crawl out of their caves immediately. So pathetic.

wtf does this question have to do with the topic at hand? Why not start a new thread asking current DCUA players about this rather than hijacking a thread on a totally separate topic.


He/She spends every waking moment trolling the forum to take any opportunity to bash DCU
In a few they'll dig up any old threads they can find

In your usual pitiful toxic rush to bash the academy, you look like a fool, again, because the Futures program has nothing to do with online etc


That’s aggressive.
