[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the group I watched there were probably 25-30 boys, of which probably 15 were from the DA (FT and PT players), half dozen Red players and a half dozen new boys from other teams.

At a U12 session?  Were they kids playing up in U13 DA this year?  Arlington did not have DA at U12 this year and it would be strange to have PT players on a non-DA team.  I know they had 'DA' in the name, but it was not a 'DA' team.  From what is described at the ID session---almost entirely Arlington players--it seems 'DA' is just in name anyways.  If you aren't drawing players from outside of the Club, then it is just a club team.  I think at the older years there is more variety of kids, but in the younger years they are just Arlington teams.[/quote]

Yes. The U12 “DA.”  Definitely marketing to a certain type of parent. They know their target market. On PT players, they play a few U11 players up on the U12 teams from time to time. It is a recruiting and retention tool for Arlington, whose coaches want to make the club a recruiting magnet. Good luck with that. Let the competition continue. Looks like other teams in that age group are doing just fine despite not being “DA” teams. I truly hope they improve their methods.  They seem to be wasting a lot of resources and credibility, which does nobody in NOVA any good who wants a strong and full alternative to DCU closer to DC. [/quote]
