To be clear, because everyone misquotes this. The team is a 'futures' camp. The futures camp per the website is " for players from ages 14 to 16 years old, with the goal of identifying, supporting and developing high-potential players who physically mature later than their peers."

Futures is different from the regular camp. Still an accomplishment.

Also to note, 3 players from dcua are on the 2010 actual national team roster.


What is a 'futures' camp? How does it differ from an actual academy? Are you saying he joined Philly Union 'futures' versus their academy?


It's similar to the national team. But it's camp only for late physical developers. I'm guessing may look at them in coming years for the national team.

But everyone on ig that has any relationship with the kids keeps saying national team when it's 100% incorrect.

It has nothing to do with Philly union.

And yes, Philly is much closer to those players than dcu. Some of them have declined due to travel to dcu.

While not the original poster who mentioned his name, it is plastered all over IG with Pipeline and Philly promoting it among others. My kid's name is on the internet but I specifically ask people to keep it off of IG and the request is usually granted. I think it is something parents should pay attention to. Unfortunately, I think many parents like the attention.


This is not the kid's team or parents or the kid posting an announcement on IG

It's a grown adult stalker obsessed with DCU and apparently also Philly Union who is throwing out the kid's name in their unhealthy crusade

This is what is being corrected from the troll post "USYNT 2011 national team"

The kid is not on the USYNT 2011 team, they are going to a 2011 futures camp.


Got it. Thanks!

Please don't feed the troll.
Especially giving him the true facts and insider information he wants

A lot of his/her toxic posts are fishing expeditions just hoping to continue the thread for their jaded satisfaction or fishing for information to continue their agenda

Also a fact.
Pipeline is closer to Philly Union than DCU.
So a kid choosing the closer academy doesn't require high IQ to understand. Duh


He was on DCUA’s protected list so clearly they didn’t think he should have picked the closer (and better) academy.


He went to the academy closer and better for his family.

We know you don’t know what I am talking about. That is why yours kids are at DCU 😂!

Reading is so fundamental. Unlike you guys, I don’t ever disparage kids. Read it again.


read it again and it is so unintelligible that no one can decipher what you are saying


Here is something that is easily understood. . DCU IS A TRASH ACADEMY WITH NO INTENTION OF DEVELOPING YOUR SON AND EVEN LESS CAPABILITY TO DO SO. Thread complete.
