Why washed up European players can come here and dominate our domestic league against US players in their prime. The level is just not close. Being at DCU just means you're a strong regional player in the US. Literally millions of kids better in Europe and the rest of the world. Our academy system is driven by the MLS to produce players for the MLS, which is a weak league requiring minimally skilled players (just big and fast players). You have a MLS academy system filled with coaches that never sniffed the highest levels of the game even in the US. How can anyone expect knowledge transfer to youth players when there is minimal knowledge to be transfered? The US system is massively flawed in this way. DCU just happens to be one of the most flawed academies in an already flawed system. What that means is that if you're at DCU, you're getting the lowest chances of success because you're in an academy that is one of the worst among academies that are already not great. Because DCU is so bad, it is just a more time consuming, frustrating and rocky path to college soccer or Sunday leagues. If you do make it pro from DCUs academy it isn't because of them it is despite them and a rarity at that.


What about Bethesda, SYC, Achilles, Baltimore Armor, Alexandria?

If players at dc ain't going nowhere in soccer, where they going?

I love the part where they’re jock-sniffing other academies like an infatuated teenager 😂


Its just a bunch of clowns sitting around arguing about how the seats in a new Ferrari are worse than in a Porsche. It won't impact you either way!!!


Oh cool. Thanks for your insight. This is quite literally a thread in a discussion forum discussing whether DCU has a good academy. If you don't like or understand the topic, why are you wasting your time. What's your connection?


My point about clowns running their mouths is that this particular thread is quite long. Yet you are talking about the most selective team in the DMV. Math doesn't math. A bunch of losers sitting around being jealous of something they don't have.


Some of our kids are in the academy world and know what the deal is. The only clowns here are the ones blindly defending them or have kids in DCUA that refuse to accept the truth. Or just ignorant to what normal academy's should offer.


If your kid is in the high level pro academy world and its not dcu, why the obsession?
Shouldn't you be focused on your son and where he is


At this point, it's been proven that DCU is just not up to par. There is no obsession with proving that point. It's been done. The thread is about whether DCU is a strong academy or not. If you don't like the way the discussion is going, you can certainly leave it. But yet, you chose to come back day after day with nothing to add to the discussion just name calling and whining. Shouldn't YOU be focused on your son and where he is at? Because if he is at DCU, you have a lot to be worried about.


Not who you talking to but why do the parents have a lot to be worried about?

My kid is good, no worries. This thread is to discuss if DCU is a strong academy so here I am. How come you're so obsessed in defending them?
There's plenty of facts with links, proving DCU needs work. Some of you guys get so defensive it's entertaining.

Actually it's a thread for one main guy and a sidekick or two to axe-grind against the dcu academy

None of them have connections to the academy because their kid was never accepted or was released long ago


False. Many of the posters have either had kids at DCU or have kids at DCU.

Since the only conclusion to be drawn is that it is not a strong academy, I guess they've done a pretty good job. I have a feeling though, and it's actually pretty clear, that many of the posters pointing out negative aspects of the academy are familiar with it through their sons. Others are pointing out publicly available information. The posters pointing out the things the DCU academy does well in relation to others are . . . . oh wait. What are the things it does well, again?
