Dykstra excited to join hometown team
With the very real possibility that first-string goalie Bill Hamid will spend time with either the senior U.S. Men's National Team or the U.S. Olympic side at some point this season, depth between the pipes is a must-have for Ben Olsen and his coaching staff.
To that end, the club announced on Monday that goalie Andrew Dykstra has been added to the senior roster. The 26-year-old is a Northern Virginia native, attending Osbourn Park High School in Manassas before a four-year career at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Less than a day ahead of departing for Carolina Challenge Cup, D.C. United held a spirited training session at Arlington?s Long Bridge Park. Here are some quick notes from Tuesday?s practice.
CLASS AT THE BACK
Reports of the skillful play of central back Emiliano Dudar were among the first things we heard from United's two preseason trips.

BRANKO'S BACK
United opened Wednesday's session with some possession games. In one of them, Branko Boskovic and Dwayne De Rosario served as 'neutral' players, playing only offense for whichever team had the ball. The dynamic pair seemed more than comfortable being the focal point of the drill.
