Why wouldn't Arlington kids go to Alexandria for MLS Next? It must be closer for a lot of them.

(I'm an Alexandria parent, hoping to learn why top level kids choose to go elsewhere. And hoping the higher-ups see the reasons.)

They prefer going to SYC over Alexandria. also not all age groups but overall communication is very poor at Alexandria.

Alexandria is not doing well, people talk, and it is evident by the results.

Results only? My experience with communication at Alexandria has been good. In fact, the organization/administration side of it has been their strong suit. Much better than SYC if that's the comparison. Not the results, for sure. But winning isn't a great reason to pick or choose a club. If the best kids played there, they'd win. Sometimes it's that simple. Are they failing to develop or attract the best players? what specifically would cause either to happen?

In other words, what are "people" talking about?

If your kid plays there, you know. Otherwise, you might learn from it on the yearly surveys.

Some players might be leaving, and that always happens. Arlington boys teams are doing well.

My kid does play there. I think its been a positive experience, for the most part. My son isn't going anywhere. I just think they can do some things better. Lots of potential to be the best club in the area, including results, if they'd invest in the competitive aspects of it more. I'd love it if they'd invest in varying their training, or double down on being a tactical first squad and really install a complex, disciplined tactical system.

It can't be the best club (they are not even close), as you describe if they don't address the girl's program first. Really messy.

Yes, it does happen. They pull the top kids to help the RL team at national events.

They are going to struggle next year. Some teams are losing half of their starters.

An occasional game is very different than the PP saying that you got an offer for ECNL National and then were sent down to RL.

Surprised he decided to take his talent to the TSJ after so many years of coaching at the highest level. He is the right person to turn that program around.
