[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. would you say it is a club to start with and then move on to more competitive teams after a few years or can players on A & B teams from nearby big clubs come to PAC and still develop?[/quote]

Both. More the former. Plenty of B team players from Arlington or McLean or Vienna might play top team at pac and get better training. [/quote]

Why do you assume that PAC offers better training than B teams from Arlington, McLean or Vienna?  I know that B teams from the first two clubs usually beat PAC's top teams.  Not sure about Vienna's B team, but as a club they do pretty good job, particularly on the girls side.  [/quote]

You really don’t understand development.  It is about how much you improve over a few years, not whether one team is better than the other at any given point in time. My kid was at pac and plays at a different club that beats the top teams other areas clubs, so yes, I have seen how these clubs are doing with the same kids over a period of time. [/quote]

small clubs have problems with development, especially if they either have B teams or are no cut. Players on a B team on a small club will be playing and training with kids who are just shy of A to players who may be new to the game. This is even worse if there is just an A team with no cuts because you may have so very good players and some marginal players. It's hard to have drills that are appropriate and helpful to all of the players. Meanwhile Arlington can group players across 4 or 5 levels so that kids are playing with and training with like skilled players. [/quote]

I think what you dont see is that at PAC. If a player is dedicated to getting better and willing to commit to putting in the work Pac will do everything in their power to help the player maximize their development. Where as a at a bigger club like Arlington outside of the top team the commitment to the individual player drops off dramatically.This leaves development limited to team training and not maximizing that players development. Hope that makes sense. In a nutshell if Arlington put as much pride into development as PAC does. They would be top 10 in the country with the player pool they have. Winning is important but at no half as important as getting better everyday. [/quote]
