This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Arlington is higher in the standings in every ECNL age group, except one. My son's 2010 team has played against Arlington and Union and I don't know that there's one Union/McLean player that would be a lock to make Arlington. If the McLean/SYC was a union at all, all the best boys players were at SYC.

They already grabbed the best players from McLean/Vienna on some of their teams.

"Best" is relative. And many are playing them. Forced their hand.

By doing that--they miss out on more deserving (talent wise) new players.

This is just stupid. Boys coaching slate is already out and JW and AP are not on it. Arlington boys exist at a different level from Union boys. Sure can always add a player or two -- if the best from Union but replacing a great team with a bad team does not happen. And GP does not run the ECNL boys. They have a director. This is all BS.

There is no boys ECNL slate out for ASA. They are hiring JW and AP to recruit top union kids and hurt McLean.

Typical ASA and GP recruiting

If this happens—where’s the Arlington board? Isn’t there an oversight on this type of thing?

I can’t see current Arlington ecnl staff capitulating to that.

Did they announce who is coaching each boys’ ecnl group at the ID sessions? Has the current team been told who the coach will be? When my older one played- they used to tell the current team in mid-February.

I’ve only seen the girls ECNL coaching staff for next year. Haven’t seen the boys.

Anyone know?

That’s a typical McLean move. Get ready…

Lots of bullsh@t will emerge next year.

How are AP and JW as coaches? OF and OI have a very defined style of play that carries over through the academy. Do they fit into that methodology? It’s a particular style of player. Need high IQ.

And technical ability/first touch. Not dribble into the ground.

Well AP won a national championship a while back, his team last year won Jeff Cup for their bracket and his current team is likely going to nationals this year so I’d say he would fit in just fine to the coaching slate…he knows how to win and get players to give their best

I've heard they are good coaches. But unless OF/OI are leaving, who would they coach? That rumor is always going around- but maybe it's actually true this time.

Have not seen AP or JW at any of the boys ID sessions so far.
