    OC DA program is being hurt by lack of decent fields, lack of direction from an Academy Director (position vacant), coaches without enough support resources, and influence by old time OC daddy coach and parents who have influence/access to OC owner and GM. Also a lack of residential program arrangements necessary to attract new talent from far away in Florida and beyond (compare to Philly UNion, Sporting KC, FC Dallas etc.). Past 2 Academy Directors have had right ideas for improvement but both left due to reasons related to lack of support. It feels like neither ownership nor first team coach wants or cares about the Academy. Please OC - do something to fix this
    OCDA is the best by far in Florida. Sure, there is excessive politics that turned away kids much better than what they have now , but still free / the parents don't have to pay like the other Florida DA's .

        OC Is a joke right now David Longwell was a huge loss. the only other decent Coach that is left will be heading to NYRB as soon as his contract expires. Back to the good old boys network. one is just an arrogant dick the other is incapable of carrying on a conversation with an adult. OH BOY!!! They name a guy Interim Director that should be more concerned about his current job because I can see that going away as soon as this season ends. As listed above many clubs have a great DA program with residential and many other perks. Phil Rollins always wanted the DA to become the home grown factory. but since he has been pushed out who knows what they are thinking. SO sad because it could be so good...

          Stop whining , its still free so suck it up or leave. The real problem started a long time ago (3-4 years ago) ; the good ole boy would not take anyone outside the club or play the better players because they had brown nose parents that loved/and would "buy" the good ole boys. That's why many better players left or stayed far away. Now they are paying the price .

                  There are kids that play for "free" at every DA club in FL. If your kid is good enough they will find a way to cover the costs. Obviously, you don't have this problem or you would have more insight to the subject :)

                        The Orlando City youth club is just as incompetent if not more so than the MLS side of things for Orlando City. They have no idea how to run a MLS franchise or a youth club.

                          OC Academy

                          Been at OC Academy since it was CFK. The same two incompetent dudes running the show. The only thing those two dudes are good at is making players hate soccer. Ownership also is incompetent and not interested in the academy. Never seen any professional team staff or ownership at any Academy event. Many academy players refuse to watch or attend OC games since there is nothing to learn. So sad.

                            All of this is correct . . . to turn it around, it will take hiring a good new Academy Director and spending $$ on fields and support staff
