Yes, Arlington offers a middle school soccer league. I know little about this league and will investigate. From what I can gather online, the league only offers a fall season. There is no spring season. But I could be mistaken. I know nothing about the level-of-play. Hopefully it is more competitive than rec soccer.[/quote]

Arlington has a very large middle school rec program with 10-12 teams per grade on both the girls and boys side.  Teams have both a fall and spring season.  Season is 8 games and includes at least 1 practice per week.  
I'd also add the one of the unique features of Arlington is that they also have a self-contained (i.e., not part of the Suburban Friendship League) with 20+ teams on the boys side and 16 on the girls side.[/quote]

Thanks for the info. How is the level-of-play? Better than rec?

I just found this article indicating that Arlington's middle school sports program could potentially be eliminated due to budget constraints:

Hopefully this won't happen. [/quote]

Two things:

1. I think the previous poster may have been confusing Arlington Soccer Association and the Arlington Public Schools middle school athletics program.

2. That article is over a year old and refers to the budget process for the current school year.  Middle school athletics were not eliminated for this year, and I am not aware that eliminating them was even mentioned in the recent budget process for next school year (which passed earlier this month).[/quote]
