SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP SCUFC remains only Development Academy option in South Carolina

As tryout day(s) approach, I want to make a couple of points:

If anyone is considering trying out for SC United's Development Academy teams and is getting conflicting opinions on it, I urge you to talk to objective sources, especially college coaches. Ask them where the top players should play.

Players who's current team has qualified for Regionals this summer can try out, make the team, and still play at Regionals for their current team.

Likewise, any player who has been selected for ODP Region camp this summer can try out, make the team, and still attend ODP Region camp this summer.

Only Development Academy teams attend the Academy Showcase events that are attended by 250+ college coaches.

Bottom line - talk to your current coach - talk to the coaches from SC United - but most importantly, get some objective advice.
