[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people ever get off the waitlist? This is for the youngest age. [/quote]

This year the youngest age group had 8 teams. Maybe for next year they don't want to get to 9.[/quote]

If there are 8 teams, do you really care about a waitlist? Best case scenario your kid gets on an 8th team with an 8th team coach. Why not look at a neighboring club?[/quote]

The 8th team coach at Arlington for 2017B is actually the current coach of the 2015B Pre-Academy team that are awesome. The 8th team is comprised of mainly 2018 players to get them ready to be the top team the following year.[/quote]

Do you know how ridiculous this sounds?[/quote]

I agree it is all ridiculous but I believe they are just trying to explain how the Arlington program works.

They create 6 teams for the main age group (in this case, 2017). Then historically 1-2 teams made up of the very promising next year players (here 2018s) who are coached by a top coach and essentially the target for top teams the following years.

So depending on OPs birth year, child is technically on the waitlist for the 6th (bottom) 2017 team or a top 2018 team (with a strong coach).

I have an older, sometimes starter on a 3rd team who just loves the sport, so no skin in this game, but that is the structure for Arlington teams during the initial tryout year.

Over time and as the number of players on the field increases, they end up with 5-6 teams per age group.
