Did you at least get team assignments and game schedules before then? 🤞🏻

Team assignments? Yes. Game schedules? No. Those were also quite late.
All that said we really liked the program. It's a big step up from rec.

It was confusing to me, too. Glad I'm not the only one.

So much for getting schedules by the end of the week. Ugh!

Game schedules are up on website.

Yea but practice schedules still haven’t been announced!

I was just coming to post to see if I had missed it. I got the invite from TeamSnap but it doesn’t have any schedule information in it. Practice schedules are way more important than games schedules.

We are a week out from what might be a first practice and still have no idea what field, what time and what day of the week. Absolutely ridiculous.

Completely agree. Not well managed and not enough apologies for the incompetence.

Gotta love getting a payment due email when we still don’t have info.

Has anyone gotten their practice schedule?!

We are new to ADP and also not impressed so far. It's an insane amount of money to not have any idea a) what team we're on or b) when and where we might be practicing. Supposedly it all starts in just a few days?! Why haven't we gotten a team assignment?! My kid's rec team will have had 3 practices by the time we even start. We should have stuck with that.

This is probably the first and last time we participate in Arlington soccer. They’re making fools of the families. And for a significant price tag!

Sad to say it but this is par for the course for ADP. Communication is laughable. It's a cash cow for Arlington Soccer, which prioritizes the upper levels of travel.

We're already in the second week of school and just got practice notifications yesterday. Unfortunately they only sent info on the pool practices and not the regular practices. Didn't even acknowledge that misstep. They typically give coaches ability to share their preferred days of the week and locations....not this year. For whatever reason, the pool practices were also moved to a grass field rather than turf. Arlington grass fields are notoriously awful and not conducive to "developing" skills. Not to mention that if it's rained out it's simply rained out and there will not be a makeup. We know that fields are scarce in Arlington but it's clear that even Rec gets field prioritization. Hard to justify the cost of ADP versus what you actually get.

Emails to ADP management go unreturned so good luck with that.

Did you accept the team snap invite? Check your spam or junk email.

How do you know which fields are turf vs grass?
