[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering what the boys session looked like.  Numbers? Format? Communication to parents?[/quote]
My non-Arlington playing son attended the 2007 session. Numbers were around 35 kids.  Broke the kids up into groups of 5 or 6 (give or take) and did a passing drill. Then they broke the kids up and did two scrimmages.  I'm guessing it was like 9v9 or whatever the total numbers were.  The current DA players were on one field plus a handful of non-DA players. Not sure how the handful of non-Arlington kids were selected for that field. Maybe top Arlington Red players??? They all see seemed to be wearing Arlington gear. Everyone else was on the other field. Anyway...they just scrimmaged for the remainder of the session.  I didn't see any movement of players between the two fields.  Afterward, the coaches gathered all the kids on the far side of the field away from parents and my son said that the coaches told them that some kids (well their parents) will get emails and some won't.  Those that get emails will primarily be to tell you NOT to come back.  Those that don't receive emails should come to the next ID session.[/quote]

The problem of Arlington Boys DA program is the club could not got the full Boys DA... Maybe this year, maybe next year. Maybe never..[/quote]

Yes.  And that was the case last year at the ID sessions this time of year.  99% of the kids were current Arlington players.  My kids entire ASA team was there.  I don't know if it changes later in the year.  But, the ID sessions seem just to be a formality.[/quote]

Most top players know those things are a complete waste of time.[/quote]
I disagree.  I would say that some very top players have ways to join a training session or something else to be seen, but to say these are a waste of time is just plain wrong.  Probably just trying trying to be a d-bag/troll but, if not, then you are just mistaken.  Most, if not all, of the kids on the 07 and 06 DA teams have attended ID sessions in the past.  Even if you have a top player, the coaches will ask the player to attend an ID session.[/quote]

wasting time is to say there is no future for ID session for Arlington Boys DA at U13, U13, U14, what you can do even you got selected, are you going to join the temporary DA teams and few years later you play for CCL because there is no DA for the age group?
I would say do not bother thinking of trying out U15 DA because of next year you have to try out for other DA/ECNL teams..

This is also to say switching club at any age group is a tough decision.
