Both clubs offered nothing before, now they offer more of nothing

Accept for 07s, which is one of the best age groups in area.

Did I say it happened in that game? I don’t think i did. Again. You keep thinking they don’t do it. It’s a known fact they do it


If your talking about "top level", they're really not that competitive in the 07 group either.

Except for the 09g, the younger groups under u13, on both sides, are not all that competitive.
Especially when compared to other top teams. A better comparison would be their top teams to other clubs 3rd or 4th teams.

Cant imagine this changing to much with the merger

The 07 boys appear to be ranked higher within the state than the 09 girls. Both seem to be strong teams which could be considered competitive, ranked between 5 and 10 in the state. Neither quite meets the defintion of a top team though - the SYA boys are ranked below, and lost to, Arlington's second team for example.

You must be a Arlington parent, good job calling our 1 game. That game was a fluke, they hadn’t lost to Arlington in 4 years against the 1st, 2nd, whomever. They are also the the only team in the league to beat Alexandria’s MLS team. How about we top it off by mentioning they played a higher flight than Arlington in Jeff cup and was a finalist in the 3rd flight. Stop trying to take these kids down, they are a good team.

Not trying to take the kids down. I explicitly said that they were indeed a competitive team. And I agree that individual results are not compelling evidence of much. I only brought up the Arlington 2nd team result because
- a PP (you?) had offered the Alexandria result as evidence that SYA were a top team, which is of course a single game result too. You can't have it both ways. If the Alexandria result is evidence of something, then so is the Arlington result. Or, if the Arlington result is not evidence, then nor is the Alexandria result.
- in this case, Arlington's 2nd team YSR ranking is higher than SYA's 1st team. That is stronger evidence because it is based on the relative performance of both teams against a wide range of opponents and takes into account the strength of the opponents. Also many of these opponents are in common.

My point is that, while SYA are a good, competitive team, they are not quite a top team and, if you believe the Jefferson cup seeding is evidence of anything then playing in the third flight in Jeff would support my position. VDA, SYC, Alexandria, Richmond, Skyline, Achilles, Pipeline, and SAC/Armour are all local teams which played in higher brackets.

Body of work bud. 07 SYA and Alexandria are only game competitive teams for boys in that age group. Arlington is garbage, and magically has different players when they play either of the aforementioned.

The problem with your position is that Youthsoccerrankings is based on body of work. Pipeline, Baltimore Armour, SAC, Potomac, Maryland International, and SAC Spurs, Alexandria, Arlington ECNL, Sterling, VDA ECNL, and Arlington Red are ALL ranked higher on their body of work.

If we just look at the CCL league table:

1. Alexandria W15 L1 T0 GF81 GA8 GD 73
2. SYA W12 L2 T1 GF48 GA17 GD 31
3. Arlington Red W9 L2 T5 GF48 GA21 GD 27

Looks to me like SYA and Arlington's 2nd team are pretty close. And obviously if you consider non CCL games Arlington Red has done a little better than SYA - for example they beat Sterling who in turn beat SYA 4-0, which is why youthsoccerrankings has the two teams ranked almost identically with Arlington Red just very slightly ahead.

Alexandria appears to be a considerable cut above.

I also highly, highly doubt that Arlington magically has different players when they play SYA or Alexandria. Why would they bother? This isn't even their first team for heaven's sake.

By first team do you mean ECNL. Well guess who shows up
In the rosters when’s red plays. ECNL players. I see the player cards. And y’all still generally lose to them.

BS. Arlington does not play ECNL players on its 07 red team. And nor would you know if they did.

Given player cards are required. Yes we do know who’s playing in game. And ECNL rosters are easily looked up. They do it. It’s within rules.

It is within the rules. Even so, Arlington does not do this. I know this for certain. And nor have you seen the opposing teams' player cards (which are usually just shown to the ref), remembered all the names, and then looked them up after the game.

You are required to give opposing team player cards. And since I was once had a kid in Arlington and was a team manager yes I know for a fact we did this. Just stop. Herndon is another program that does this a ton. I’ll I say is a former coach in SYA really pissed off some Arlington coaches several years back. After running up the score. Even though he’s no longer there the competitive nature of the clubs still seems to exist

You're a liar. The game in question occurred at 12.30pm on Sep 27th at EC Lawrence. The ECNL team had a game at 11am in Long Bridge Park. Or do you think Arlington possesses a Star Trek teleporter, or perhaps it clones its ECNL players?

Hah. Good fact checking. SYA Pinnochio's nose stretching across entire continents at this point.

No not good fact checking. Not all ECNL players are rostered to play in all ECNL games. Try again noobs. Pull the roster from that day.

Nonsense. Arlington's rosters are not huge like Loudoun's or McLean's. Most weeks all healthy players play - a kid only sits if the whole team is healthy which is rare. And then, if it's a home game they are required to sit on the sideline with their teammates and support them.

What’s even funnier is this is a thread about info on merging two clubs. And folks talking about which age groups were good. And then Arlington parent who’s team generally lose to those age groups trying bash people talking about which teams are are good.

Valor is going to fail because they really thing they can carry 3-4 teams. Playing CCL and no option for something better isn’t going to cut it.

Exactly there full of rich average to crap players. When Arlington knows they are playing better team the pull from above.

I'm an Arlington parent who has pointed out that Arlington doesn't play top team players on its second teams (although I'm not the only one who has made that point on this thread) - but I'm not the poster who initially suggested that SYA's team wasn't a top team. I don't care one way or the other about whose team is better - but I do care about people claiming Arlington is behaving in a way that they are not. That is just wrong and not fair to the club which is actually - in my several years' experience - very well behaved about such things.

What’s even funnier is this is a thread about info on merging two clubs. And folks talking about which age groups were good. And then Arlington parent who’s team generally lose to those age groups trying bash people talking about which teams are are good.

Valor is going to fail because they really thing they can carry 3-4 teams. Playing CCL and no option for something better isn’t going to cut it.

I'm an Arlington parent who has pointed out that Arlington doesn't play top team players on its second teams (although I'm not the only one who has made that point on this thread) - but I'm not the poster who initially suggested that SYA's team wasn't a top team. I don't care one way or the other about whose team is better - but I do care about people claiming Arlington is behaving in a way that they are not. That is just wrong and not fair to the club which is actually - in my several years' experience - very well behaved about such things.

What age group? The problem is did does happen at specifc age groups, generally boys. And if you claim it doesn’t happen in your club then you are obivious.

No I'm not oblivious. And no it doesn't happen at every club. It happens at some clubs. My DS has played at three clubs and only one of them did this. Clubs that do it, typically do it fairly frequently and at multiple age groups. And when a team needs ringers the call goes out for volunteers so everyone knows what's going on.

. Did you miss the part of one of my kids being a former Arlington player. Yes we did it. So again oblivious.

Just about every club uses the ‘club’ pass....but why is anyone complaining about it? Because some parents are so hell-bent on driving home with a W that they would rather beat up on a cupcake and get the W then have their kid get challenged and possibly lose?

No I didn't miss it. I believe you are the SYA fanboy pretending to be an ex-Arlington parent and making a false confession. Let's face it your narrative has collapsed, and you're pathetically repeating your lies.

Funny thing is multiple people are commenting here. Why not ignore it. Me thinks he may be on to something. But would agree all clubs do this. Yes 100% clubs at some age bracket and sex do it. So y’all just shut up.
