They also have a few 09s who think they have to play with the 08s. But also, Arlington's girls teams aren't very strong as they get older.

I've sort of noticed that too over the last few years, with an exception here and there. Any particular reason why this seems to be the case?

I don't know but keep an eye on the 11s!

There was a lot of internal club hype about the 08's but as others have said what wins at the young ages does not work as you age.

They’ll fall quickly like the other arlington teams.

Could happen especially if some key players are moving to different clubs in the next couple of years. Rumor has it some maybe already thinking of the move to other club who play proper soccer and not kick and run.

And which local clubs would provide that and would attract kids from Arlington’s 08s?

BRAVE 08

I'd imagine Arlington 08 will still easily beat Brave in a couple of weeks.

BRAVE 08

Just because Arlington has had a bad season and Brave has had a good one, does not make the narrative now that Arlington is bad and Brave is good. Not even close.

Brave barely squeaked by the Arlington RL team a few weeks ago.

What about FCV? Many social media posts about how many kids made college last week.

Seem like at least they know how to place kids.

Union… UVA, UCLA, Navy, Wisconsin, Maryland, etc.

VDA… UCLA, Florida State, Stanford, Clemson, Tennessee, etc.

VDA is in an interesting spot right now. MW is gone. According to their site currently it lists AS across all the age groups with the exception of the 07 team. The 06 team could run itself essentially, but the rest are a toss up.

I find it funny how you say FCV held their own in a 0-2 loss while VDA just lost 0-2. They both lost. You would have to watch the game to consider if one team "held their own" in the same loosing score.

What local club plays "proper soccer"? Seems like most kick and run.
