As a BSC parent that has played against both, I can attest to that.
Small, fast, and skilled. Red is very good, and White is probably the best "B" team in the region.
Disappointing they won't be at the Bethesda Tournament this year, but with the field situation I totally understand.

9-year olds, correct ?

Yes, U10 kids are generally 9.

Hmmmm....what [i]parent[b] has played against both a U10 A and B team? "The best B team" in the region? That is too strange as to not feel like it's coming from a parent on that "B" team. Weird.

people in Arlington are strange.

Let me try again for the poster that doesn't seem to understand, and/or thinks the last message was part of a massive conspiracy to bolster the reputation of the B team.

I have a son. He plays for BSC. Over the last few years, his team has played both Arlington teams, in tournaments and regular season games.

Arlington Red and White U10 teams are very good. Most teams have a huge drop-off in quality between first and second teams. They don't.

This bodes well for the future of their DA team.

Clear enough?

This used to be a thread about Arlington DA, right? As in, U12-U15 boys, and U13-U15 girls.

Why on earth are you people talking about 9 year olds?

Because he/she wants you to know just how good his/her son is, of course. There is no other reason to talk about a 9-year old's B team as being the 'best B team in the area'

It's practically the only safe topic any more.

This U10 group of parents on the top white/red teams is crazy. You can go look at the old posts on DCUM tryout thread when they were trying out for U9 as little 7/8 year olds. Same exact humble brags. They were so enamoured then and they still are today at every practice. Barf

Insufferable bunch indeed. It’s fairly typical there though. A bunch of uncoordinated dorks living vicariously through their children. Used to ass-kissing and networking at the Firm and applying those skills at the Club. Not a former top athlete in the bunch (though they fancy themselves that way by their manner of dress).

Ah, I get it now. You're a former athlete whose kid didn't make the team, and now you're bitter.

If it makes you feel good to think that. By all means, have at it.

You mean didn’t make the greatest B team in all of the DMV and beyond?

I am surprised anyone would think Arlington 04 girls DA plays anything close to possession soccer. Happened to watch part of their game vs FCV yesterday and I'm not sure I saw any attempts to pass the ball, everything was a very quick long ball. Girls are fast and athletic, but no way is this possession. Added to this, Arlington parents were speaking negatively right at FCV girls. Not a DA club I'd be interested in.

No one called out the 04 team specifically, the younger teams were mentioned. Since you were at Evergreen already, you are likely either FCV already, or another club that uses that facility. If FCV, your comments are not surprising!

Not FCV or DA, just wanted to see what all the DA hype was about, had a friends kid playing on another field
