Minnesota United’s Development Academy continues to grow at a rapid pace. The program is adding age groups quicker than initially planned as more and more kids show up to try out in hopes of donning the Black and Blue.
But the talent on the field doesn’t appear overnight. It’s found by working every day. It’s found in the camps put on by the Development Academy. It’s found at tournaments across the country that scouts from the DA attend. Sometimes it’s even unearthed within the program, in players who are growing throughout their time with the DA.
"Scouting is the life-blood for any professional club, whether it is for the first team or the Academy,” said Academy Director Tim Carter.
