I don’t know if this is a real question? But girls absolutely talk smack during tryouts. From directly saying “you suck” to loudly criticizing appearances while talking to friends/teammates. Girls are mean, not Arlington specifically.

This is not being mean, it's called a double standard. You'd never tell a boy he's being mean if he's doing this.

And that's called gamesmanship and it exists in both genders. Should be discussed and handled as ethics in sports and not as a gender-based flaw. Girls can strive to be good people but they don't have to be "nice" and not "mean".

And to agree with the subject OP - yes, grow thicker skin and beat them on the field!

So is being highly comperitive considered being mean?

From what I witnessed, I didnt see anything mean. I saw girls trying to compete to keep position. Sounds like internal whining due to their kid being outplayed.

Does this mean they chose the girls program over boys?

If you’re looking for a watered down northern Virginia soccer league choose GA—or GA Aspire (2nd tier) like McLean offers. If you want college recruitment opportunities going forward then choose ECNL.

This entire thing about playing in college is getting old. If your good your good. I bet you the parent on the sidelines who blames everyone else but yourself.

Any boys offers out yet?

If your DD doesn’t care about playing in college no problem. She can have a fun time at any club. But if she MAY want to play in college, there is no better option to keeping that door of opportunity open than playing for an ECNL team.

College coaches want to remain employed and they can only do that if they can identify and recruit the best talent—like any good company. ECNL is their deepest talent pool.
