In Part 2 of our Chicagoland Academy Round-up, we are covering the Chicago Magic. Part 1 went
over the Chicago Fire Academy and in Part 3 we will cover Sockers FC.
The Chicago Magic are in a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde mode when it comes to their academy these
days. The younger teams seem to do exceedingly well but the U-15/16 and U-17/18 squads struggled in
the 2009-2010 season and 2010-2011 has started out very lackluster as well.

From the DC United website D.C. United's roster continued its evolution today with the signing of
19-year-old centerback Ethan White, marking the fourth occasion since September of 2009 that the
Black-and-Red have promoted a former Academy player to the first team.
