Arlington would not get demolished. They would beat most non-Academy MLS Next clubs.

Plus they don't need to move to MLS Next, they are already placing multiple boys onto D1 rosters such as Villanova, UMass, JMU, Mason, ODU and others.

The only commits I've heard from SYC are to CNU, Marymount and Bridgewater, but SYC players have never been heavily recruited by colleges I guess.

ARL has some pretty good teams.

ARL has one good team not teams

Yes, the moonshiners from West Virginia (and similarly powerful clubs like Achilles and Bethesda) have been demolishing every other MLS Next team and should be feared by Arlington also. :-0

How many kids has Arl placed on one of the US national team lately? How many headed to play in age group Bundesliga academy this summer? How many players have attended US Youth National Team ID centers? Does it top 12 players the past 3 years like Achilles FC? I don’t think so.

Keep focusing on that W/L record, helicopter daddy.

Two of the four homegrowns on last year's DC United first team were Arlington products. But I guess that doesn't count. USYNT doesn't mean anything. Full of early bloomers. It's like leading the mile after three laps. If you don't finish in the top three after the fourth lap, nobody remembers or cares.

FWIW, I think Arlington is a solid program. But I do think they would be better off in MLSnext.

And 12 months from they'll find out if they got accpeted into MLSNEXT, and they'll move the Girls to GA, and all the Arlington parents will magically be signing a different tune if they get accepted

They declined the invitation to apply so nothing to learn in 12 months.

Curious to know if there will be any changes in the coaching staff.

You’ll know in 12 months. PP is correct and you are wrong.

So making an MLS team is an insufficient goal? You measure success purely by the number of local kids who make the Premier League? You should just go dump your life savings on lottery tickets. Likely a better return on investment.

I am not the prior poster. I am not fond of DCU or MLS at all but if my kid makes it to any level of professional futbol I consider it a step above what I have done and what most people are able to accomplish. Let's give some credit here.

Hey Sal, stop wasting time on this stupid forum and actually go coach a kid or two.

Easy to knock Sal as his antics in the past have not been the best. As a parent who is looking into making a move to either Alexandria, Arlington, Bethesda or Achilles, I find Achilles record of developing high-level players intriguing given their small size and talent pool relative to the other programs. I know internationally, development of the youth is priority over wins and loses. Arlington in ECNL is a difficult pill to swallow in this landscape but I prioritize the development and fit of my child over the alphabet soup of leagues and if Arlington is the best fit, so be it.
