Only Coach knows if they are getting offers or not. I guess we will find out come this summer.

They don't need a lot of new players at tryouts/ ID sessions as we have had a lot at practice before and after tryouts.

This is information you won't know about if you are on the RL team.

This. The tryouts are only a piece of the recruiting. It is done all year long. Tryouts only capture those few that do not know that they should have called the club and would have been allowed to do several practices.

By the way, on the board it was guaranteed last year that Arlington Girls would move to GA this year. What happened to that?

Either it’s a closely guarded secret or just a rumor.

Not sure why Arl RL teams are getting so much hate today. If your DD wants to play good soccer but isn't at the ECNL/GA level, they can have a great experience on an Arl RL team.

Just don't accept an RL offer with the expectation of being moved up to an NL team.

Or like a dead whale carcass that bobs and floats along as other sea animal take bites out of it little by little. Or a duraflame log that burns low and slow but produces little heat and leaves you cold. Or like a man with ED that tries and tries but can never quite be ready to satisfy.

I would have compared it to a “phantom poop,” where you know you’ve dropped one into the can but when you stand up to look, there’s nothing there. PRESUMABLY it has slipped into the magic pipe that takes it away, and thus is only hiding from you, but for a moment you’re confused. You think there is a there there but you can’t see it. On RL you think you’re producing quality soccer but alas your team and money have self-flushed. Know what I mean?

If these are Arlington RL teams, that what are other RL teams? Dying to know.
