Yes they were treated differently than every other age group as well as every other 2011 team. it was all about them. If the parents complained Arlington bowed to the pressure and would make changes that affected all the other teams for multiple age groups. Im sure the dad on this board doesnt think so but if you polled parents from other teams in 2011 or 2010 you would get a different response.

What's wrong with them being treated differently. They are the top team. The team earned that right. Being a top team in any club and getting extra perks is not something new.

It honestly sounds like nonsense, like a parent thinking they're top sh!t because their 12-year olds won some games. So what do they get? Their favorite time slot for practice? Their favorite field? WGAF?

Favorite field nice time slot. Sounds like a good perk

Wow, whatever they want. They’re clearly celebrities there.

Always interesting how this breaks year over year. 2008 was a National Championship contender last year, and this year is struggling to win anything. 2006 was hot when they were in GA, but has been middling in ECNL. They could actually finish 5th this year depending on remaining games. 2009 could be better, but some of their better players are playing on the 2008 team so who knows if they change that next year.

Agree. I dont understand how this happens. Kids distracted with high school obligations, academics?

2008s were not national championship contenders. Second place in MA is not a natty contender.

All of the above plus injuries. Both 09 and 08 have been having some serious injuries unfortunate.

Plus in HS age, much shorter season, way less league games and more showcases.

The injuries are a real shame.

Union won the 10s 2-1. Arlington's keeper was out

Heard 2011 had a blow out game.

Arlington parent views of their teams is hillarious, at no point has any Arlington team been in the conversation for a "natty". Although u13 champs are pointless, 2011's may prove me wrong if they are competitve and make it to Richmond. Seattle should serve as a sobering dose of the soccer regional realities either way for you soccer newbies, that is all

Was that the expected score? It seemed like they have never played each other before.
