And both are from an ECNL club. Players don't have to be in a MLS Next Club to be picked up.


Where are they heading? Just another proof point about how people with kids that are at the level try to avoid DCU if it is possible and realistic for hem.

Wild. They do have facilities with access to fields and gym time. They were smart and partnered with VA Rev to renovate there because they have 4 professional teams already at the IPC center and doing this allowed the kids to train more, attend the school, have their own gym….sounds horrible lol. They have multiple kids on national teams, they have new leadership who are making moves to bring them next level, the full time program has always been available to all kids, the club announced the full time fully funded expansion to the 16s as a trial year this year and from the start had said it was expanding to the other teams next year….it doesn’t matter who comes here and tells you exactly what the truth is- you are just going to find a way to whine🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s a relatively new fully funded program. They have done nothing but grow since then. The club is investing significantly each year and expanding resources. I guess you think something like this is built overnight-it’s not. We can cry about if it should have been done sooner or whatever reason you will use to justify digging in your heels but the reality is for the last 4 years, they have been constantly making changes and adding resources to improve. Your loss I guess. I don’t have 108 more pages of investment in this to keep coming back and correcting your lies and misinformation. Sorry that your kid isn’t able to make it which is the vibe you give off. My kid is doing great and has had significant opportunities because of playing in the club. You can whine about what you think is wrong for 108 pages more or you can find a good fit for you kid and get over DCU.


Long way of saying DCU is not there yet. Which is what the whole thread says.



Except it’s not.


Prove it.

Bus program dropped? Where did you hear that from?


Right now, they are planning to drop the bus program. Budget is hurting because of full time program. That is what they are telling new parents coming in for next season.


I am a new parent for 25/26 U14's living in Baltimore county
Haven't heard that from the club


Ask them this specific question and report back...


They already specifically told us the shuttle pickup and drop-off point for Howard and Baltimore County players

Let's see what actually happens.


Let's see if what's already happening going to happen?

Your obsession with an organization that doesn't care about your existence is psychotic


No idea what you're talking.about but ok...
