I wonder how many GA girls would take Red or look for a new team?

quit is probably more likely. There are only so many spots on ECNL rosters to go around. Would a girls who misses the cut at Arlington be good enough to take a spot from an already rostered girl at McLean or BRYC?

But if they missed tryouts/ID sessions for other clubs who are going to be making their offers in a couple days they either have to stay or when you say quit, that means, quit soccer altogether?

Yep it’s good business decision on Arlington part. Let’s face it ECNL teams really only look for player from other ECNL teams. So where are this player going to go?

Ah yes - the ECNL teams only recruit players who are already in ECNL troll appears on another thread. The fact that this position is clearly nonsense doesn't stop you, does it?

LOL it’s reality. There is a certain level of athleticism at ECNL teams. After a year or two of conditioning and strength training it is very hard for a non ECNL girl player to break in. Notice I did not say individual skills or speed of play. It is the physical and athletic nature of ECNL(and former DA) teams that separate the girls.

Please the is the age when kids narrow to one sport. If you think that the kid playing travl soccer, AAU basketball, and travel lacrosse deciding to focus on soccer isn't as well conditioned as the kid with a year of ECNL under their belt you are off your rocker

No. It's totally impossible. That's why any ECNL kid who gets an injury and is out for more than two weeks always gets cut and has to quit the sport. It's just impossible to recover the previous olympic-athlete-level of conditioning.

Nothing says U14 Arlington players like "If I'm not top team I won't play for the club"

Stop being deliberately provocative.

The issue is that some kids are commuting quite a distance for the chance to play on a competitive team with the attendant development and recruiting advantages. If you get cut, and Arlington is your local club, then you stay on the red team. But if you were commuting fifteen miles to play in the A team and you get cut, then you probably find a more local club rather than continue to commute to play on the B team. There's nothing obnoxious about that - it's just common sense.

Are there a lot of non-Arlington (non-Arl residents) players currently on the 08 team?

That's a good question, and I agree with the prior poster about commuting and such. The 08s and their families should know who's starting, who isn't, and who might be on the bubble to get cut. It's clear that Arlington is making an active play to be one of the more competitive clubs in the area, across boys and girls, and need to handle tryouts and cuts accordingly if they want to follow through on that vision. The Arlington parents whose kids make the top teams will be happy with the direction. The Arlington parents whose kids are playing on Red or White for the first time will not be pleased. And if the club is able to hold firm against those displeased parents, then we'll all know that they are serious about making this move.

Why would a kid leave a GA team to play on a B team? Serious question?

If they are sick of the travel and time commitment and want a little more flexibility in high school.

You really can not play multiple sport and play ECNL/GA at Arlington. Where are you going to find the time? Do you have a DAd in ECNL now?
