[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if Arlington dropped their lowest team at the age group when they add DA team they would also have to bump each existing travel teams field status down and that still doesn't explain whose games they play on lesser fields so their DA teams can practice on premium fields on weekends. They are talking about adding two U16 DA teams next year with no new fields.[/quote]

U16 is a combined age group of U16/U17.

U18/U19 is also a combined age group. [/quote]

They are talking about making a separate U16 and U17 age group. So Arlington is potentially talking about adding 6 (3 boys and 3 girls DA) teams in the next three years.[/quote]

The U16?17 split, if it happens, will only happen on the girls side. The boys side has had combined age groups since inception and the Boys DA does not have to compete with ECNL so it is not going to change.

Also, as mentioned many times in other threads regarding Arlington's expansion, the current 04's will simply maintain their DA status as they age forward. Soooo, if the age group does in fact split then Arlington's DA will only "add" U16 next year, which is simply the same team anyway. If the age group does not split then the same will still happen except for the possibility that 03's will be added to the roster. [/quote]

But they will add a new U13 girls DA team and a new U12 boys DA team next year. So two new DA teams.[/quote]

No, most of the 07 Red team will simply become DA and the B team will become Red. When Loudoun added ECNL they did not in fact increase the number of teams, the top team simply changed leagues. Arlington will be no different. The top team is simply DA and not CCL.
