That says to me they can't qualify for county field permits, so where is their Academy going to be permanently located? Mailing address in Vienna. We all know there is NO field space without building your own somewhere.

I thought the same thing until my hubby told me there is a connection with Mason and the current captain and star of the US Men's National team, Christian Pulisic. His dad and uncle both played soccer at Mason and so did his mom. His dad is even in the Mason Men's Soccer Hall of Fame. Captain America plays for AC Milan, of course. I found out their address is same building as Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, so it's not a mailbox address.

Oh and travel soccer is not a scam?

It is, but travel soccer doesn't force you to buy $250 worth of merchandise for five days of use.

Oh, I must be a horrible soccer mom then, since I thought my 11 year old daughter could proudly wear official AC Milan jerseys, shorts, and socks like Christian Pulisic. I would hate for anyone seeing my daughter wear the same team jersey that the captain and star of the US National Men's Soccer team wears. I had no idea these were throw away, one time use jerseys, shorts, socks, and gymbag. They also have clearly stated you wear the same clothes for the academy.

Consumers Ed: There's now something called Amazon. Save yourself $150.

Or venture on to ebay for even cheaper finds. Or if you are feeling extra frugal just go on to Ali baba!

Maybe not all of us want or buy cheap knockoffs or fakes. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out most knockoffs, fakes, and counterfeit items are usually made with much less quality materials and don't last as long. There is a reason why Amazon and Ebay have both cracked down and shut down many 3rd part sellers selling knockoffs, fakes, and counterfeit items. You might as well save even more money and go to a dollar store or Walmart and buy a cheap shirt and iron or sew your team's patch or iron on logo. lol Not knocking it, but just been burned too many times by them.

By selling the kits before the academy selection process...and if we're talking about NCSL, there's nothing "academy" about it...you are basically saying that everyone who shows up will be offered a spot or think people are stupid enough to buy 200% upmarked jerseys, socks, and gym bags because they have a team name on them - and not care about tossing away $250. THIS is what is wrong with soccer in the U.S. A bunch of ruthless adults trying to make a quick buck as opposed to developing talent and fostering knowledge of the game.
