[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington feels like the only normal club left in this area. Probably because they have a great financial position and don’t have to invite all the chaos in like others.

good coaches for both genders, good Technical staff, good fields and no stupid ‘alliances’ to distract.

They also have really good college placement

Arlington doesn’t need an alliance. They have the most players of any club in nova.

Pretty average college placement for ECNL.[/quote]

Agree with this but average for ECNL is pretty good.[/quote]

I am not sure I would say it is "average". If your goal is P4, yeah, they are middle tier. But if you mix in academic as well as P4, then they are pretty good. In the last two years you have at least 3 Ivy and a shit ton of super high academic schools (Georgetown, USC, Vandy, Hopkins and too many top tier D3 schools to name).

For parents in this area, they'd willingly trade the scholarship money for the admissions ticket.[/quote]

Too many top tier d3 schools? Arlington is touted as a top club and the goal is d3 recruiting?![/quote]

If you are a parent, and your child has an offer from D1 Le Moyne (78% accepted, 2,800 undergrads) and D3 Carnegie Mellon (11% acceptance, 8,000 undergrads + top grad school) you hope your kid picks Mellon. The lifetime value of a degree from WashU, Mellon, Emory, Hopkins (all ~10% or lower acceptance) is multiples more valuable.

Players that pick those schools have offers from D1, just not P4. So yeah, if I see those schools on the list, I know it means Arlington kids are being recruited.

PS, if your kid plays for LeMoyne and it gives them the opportunity live their dream to play D1 ball, that’s awesome! But as a parent, I’m thinking longer term - I’ll be happy and support my kid either way, but my kid currently has the grades so I will take elite D3 over D1 in the middle of upstate NY.[/quote]
