[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington 08 has a few former mclean girls. I think they left for a reason. I do not think they would go back.

As for the red team in general, the way their style of play is developing I do not know if Mclean would be a good fit. That said there are some girls on red who would do better in a different system/style of play. Remember they are not really playing soccer yet- small field and 8 field players. Passing and vision become more important at u13 and above.

With the pandemic Arlington(like many clubs) will most likely make offers to the exist red team and a few outside the club girls for GA. I think most stay because it’s safe and many of the parents think it’s a top team(as in playing the top brackets of tournaments).

Arlington is a big club. There are really good girls on the white and blue teams. Remember the blue team beat mclean green and Arlington white. The thing is there are no tryouts right now, Mclean and other clubs will discount them because they are 2nd and 3rd team girls and offers are going out now.

Bottom line I do not see a lot of change in this year group. Now next year maybe[/quote]

I agree that the teams are likely to stay largely the same.   It is difficult to make a move when there are no tryouts.   However, the composition of the teams has to change because the roster size will increase with transition to 11v11 game.   Arlington will have to make some difficult choices in deciding how to fill the extra spots on the top team without tryouts.  Without the DA badge, Arlington will likely struggle to recruit talent from other clubs so maybe the girls from the 2nd and 3rd teams will get an opportunity to move to the top team.   Arlington's top team clearly regressed last year, getting outplayed by both VSA (a feeder club to VDA) and Loudoun in the head to head games.  I think VDA will be the team to beat in this age group.   Arlington, McLean and Loudoun are likely to be in the next tier, assuming that they will retain most of their players and don't add top players from other clubs.     [/quote]

They are going to keep it small maybe roster 18. So there will be four new roster slots. I heard there are at least three invites to girls outside the club. Who knows if they will accept or if more have been offered but it does not leave much room for promotion from within the club. Assuming no one leave from existing red.

As for the other clubs, VSA clearly the top this year, a distance second to Loudoun(They were out classed by the Strikers), followed by Arlington and Mclean. Arlington struggled against good teams and Mclean seems to actively drive players way. Luck for Mclean they have ENCL. [/quote]

VSA will combine with PWSI and some outside additions to form the 2008 ECNL team. Our daughter went to tryouts, exciting group for sure. [/quote]
