[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with being honest for these companies around here is that, honesty = potentially losing customers, and that affects their bottom line.

Glad some people take the initiative and do some self-evaluation and research rather than play into the system.[/quote]

I see this concept glibly mentioned a lot on this board - the idea that clubs will “lose customers”, but from our children’s experience in the Arlington system, there’s never a shortage of bodies willing to play (and pay). I am sure there are parents who are good at working the system, but from what we have seen parents have little to no power, because there’s 50 kids right behind yours game to take the spot.

In younger age groups, Arlington goes six teams deep, and from the tryouts it appears there are dozens of kids who don’t even make that 6th place team.

My assumption is that Loudoun and Bethesda are much the same, but that MYS/Union didn’t quite develop that kind of depth. Are there other clubs that are just behemoths in terms of size? Because I don’t think the majority of parents at Arlington feel like they are in the driver’s seat.[/quote]
