Wow, the PA and NJ teams are doing really well in that age group!

Are you saying Arl will have a 16/17 agre group next year based on showing up on that page?

I personally don't know, but I'm rooting for it. I do know if our conference gets a U16, they will get a U16. And if it doesn't, they will get a U17. However, there is apparently talk of them going full DA.

It would be nice to get the 16s just to make parents happy. Not sure if the talent pool supports the extra players, but parents will be happier based on previous years' feedback.

Yeah, but I've heard nothing but stellar reviews of the 03 group. I think having a U17 team would be good for them.

This isn’t what Arlington parents need to learn, US Soccer is not going to grant things to make parents happy. For all we know ASC did not even apply for full academy status purposely so that they could build the program properly.

One of three things will happen next year;
1. US Soccer will break up the U16/17 age group. This will result in no Arlington 03 DA age group, likely ever.
2. US Soccer will not break up the U16/17 age group. This will open up the door for some 03’s to play DA next year.
3. US Soccer will Pilot a U16 only age group also ensuring that Arlington will not get a 03 age group.

Or Arlington will not get U16 at all next year.

US soccer is going to need to pull the trigger on this pretty soon to allow teams time to have ID sessions.

US Soccer wants girls DA to grow, there is zero reason not to award Arlington the U16 age group. Stop with the hand wringing already.

Let’s just wait and see what they do instead of guessing what they will do. They should make a decision in the next few months.

For sure. I think some just have a vested interest in suggesting they won't expand to a full DA. It's a good way to try and dangle a carrot in another direction by suggesting Arlington will remain limited.

New poster. Hope this helps.

The 04's will be U16 next year. There is no U16 age group. There is a U16/U17 age group. That means 03s (U17) will play DA next year with the 04s (U16) on a combined team.

If the 03s are put in the DA next year, then I hope US Soccer awards Arlington a U19 the following year, so once in, they can stay.

Welcome new poster but the following was already stated above and has been stated no less than 35 times in this thread. What we have here are some hand wringing 03 parents who want a piece of DA in Arlington instead of having to go elsewhere. They will not relax until US Soccer has made an official announcement. The restless posts will continue until such an announcement is declared.

So the 03s can play and it looks like the 04s will have to play U16/17. Good luck!
