[quote=Anonymous]McLean and Arlington are locked in a forever deathmatch with each other with competing in youth soccer because of their proximity and both like to beat their chests all the time.

Here is some food for thought:

At higher socio-economic levels, you see stronger girls teams, but weaker boys teams if no recruiting from the outside is done.

At lower socioeconomic levels, you see a lot more boys talent and lesser girls participation in soccer in general.

Arlington is large enough to have pockets of both - Arlington's top boys talent mostly come from certain areas of the county where kids are out on soccer fields playing pickup with adults all the time.

What you do not see are younger girls wandering onto soccer fields playing with teenage boys or adults who are strangers.

So instead, parents hire private trainers for their daughters and sign them up for every program they can find, and get them on teams early training 11 months of the year.

Arlington is large enough to support soccer on both sides just by numbers alone, mclean is not.[/quote]
