DC UNITED IS A GREAT ACADEMY
No it is not. All the DC United teams in MLS Next are failing except the U15 team which is having a good season.
Failing what?

did they drop the entire u14 team for just next season or indefinitely?
Indefinitely
DCU literally does ZERO to develop youth soccer talent in the DMV. Not only did they cancel their U14 team (after giving offers!) but they offer ZERO training opportunities for kids in the DMV area; no youth programs like the NYRB RDS programs.
DCU used to offer such programs (all for a fee, so it's not like they were doing it for free) but they cancelled all of that years ago.
Hard to believe that in this area, one of the areas of the country with massive interest in soccer, the MLS club is so poorly managed with respect to youth talent development.
Can you let someone else get a comment in edgewise buddy?
You ain't saying nothing new you haven't said a thousand times since you created the thread
We know you constantly reply to make the thread remain active for your obsession in psychotic fashion
And everyone knows it's you that claimed that DCU cutting the U14s next was a lie. You also said DCU making the parents pay for schooling was absurd and wasn't happening. All posted weeks ago and proven to be true. You must be way in your feelings right now. A kid at DCU and they are charging you five figures for sh#t programming and schooling. Cannot get any worse. Keep defending them and they will keep screwing you. And keep posting. I will be here to respond with real information not deflection and name calling.
If I had a kid at dcu, six figures would be fine with me
Where is your kid and how much are you paying. I think that should be your focus.
Not stalking other people's children or the organization that rejected you long ago
A fool and his money are soon parted. AMIRIGHT?
Mine is at another academy, not having to pay 10k. Some monthly pocket money is my expense.
We're not stalking children, we're discussing how badly DCUA needs an overhaul. Hell, all of DCU. Crazy that we have such a shit show of an academy for an area like the DMV. It's so bad that professionals outside the area are recognizing it.
Your kid is at another MLS academy (that also sends less than 0.3%) to professional ranks yet you're spending all this time focused on what another academy is doing?
Why?
Also, how do you know the development status and track of each individual player at the academy. From the day they arrived to where they are today?
Or you're just using the word development indiscriminately out of context?
Why? Because if DCU was halfway decent, I wouldn't have had to ship my kid across the country, he could have lived at home. And by your logic, if an academy from Europe came calling, we should turn it down because they also send less than 1% to pro ranks. Laughable. That kid Cavan should just stay in Philadelphia right. What a fool for going to Man City academy!
There isn't a single academy in America that is giving top tier European or South American academy opportunities as an organization.
You going to another MLS academy is a different experience with mainly the same results as DC. College or low level pro.
You can try to fool the ignorant with your word salad.
You're right, every family with a kid in an academy, US or overseas, are fools. Should just play local club and go to college or low pro.
Why are you paraphrasing incorrectly out of context purposely?
PP said American academies give little to slim opportunities for high level professional careers
You're lumping in European academies, to which we're sure you have no personal connections or experience.
Hyperbole and red herrings don't work against intelligent knowledgeable people
Academy here, academy overseas, they all have less than 1% chance of going top tier pro. So DCU GUD ENUFF, says the intelligent knowledgeable people.

This is true. They will send your kid to a great college on an academic scholarship that'll cover half the tuition. That 10k will pay off!

This just smells and looks and feels like good ole old fashioned jealousy and envy
If your kid was as good as the kids at dcu and doing well elsewhere at a higher level, you'd not be stalking dcua children and parents
Pitiful and sad
And no one is stalking children and parents. NOW who is exaggerating??? Just responding on this thread with real information about DCU that is not in the public domain.
