The FC Dallas academy and youth programs are pretty great.

It is a very loose association at best. It actually covers Lafreniere and City Park as well and is the end result of the combination of the old clubs that used to occupy those parks. The Fire do have a residential academy as well. I know some of the other MLS teams do also, but I'm not sure all do.

I'm pretty sure that only one player from the Louisiana Fire club has been invited to the residential academy and that was Mullins. He turned it down.
