Lol no. Getting a NT call up gets you to a great D1 program. Switching between the top of the 2nd team and the bottom of the 1st really does nothing. Usually the top 4 of the 2nd team are interchangeable with the bottom 1/2 of the first team. [/quote]

I think you're having a difficult time reading my sentence of seventeen words.  I'll expand on it:
Arlington Soccer has a primary focus on results; while they still dedicate time and effort to develop a player's game, it's about results in the end.  This model makes it difficult for some players, but it's been really effective for others, as Arlington Soccer routinely puts girls in great D1 soccer programs.[/quote]

There also are clubs that put less emphasis on results and prioritize development over results and also routinely put girls into great D1 soccer programs.

IMO, for the OP, if its results/wins you want, then sounds like ARL is a better fit.  But it is just moving from one model to another that is similar in terms of the pool system.  If you think that movement is disruptive, request to have your kid stay on whatever "color" she is at in the beginning of the season for the duration or look for other alternatives, like bridge teams or smaller travel programs that don't have player movement like that.  But if she is at 7v7 or 9v9 maybe hang on and once the # of field players increase see if she gets moved ot the higher color--maybe that is what they are planning to do. Ask them.[/quote]
