[quote=Anonymous]Full disclaimer:  not affiliated with either club

We have attended many programs and summer camps with both and I felt both were well organized for football clubs. EVERY club in this area would fail a Ritz Carlton service audit miserably, my current club included.  Ignore any parents complaining about that.  Their expectations are way too high.

I think people put too much on the team and not enough on the individual development.

I would lean towards Arlington simply due to proximity and the ability to just hop across the bridge.  I do think ECNL is a sinking ship on the boys side, but parents make too much of this alphabet league and I say that with a kid on a 1st team with a MLS badge club.

I would seriously do the one that is most convenient.  I have learned that many kids quit because of the pressure their parents put on them.  Parents put pressure because they are sacrificing $ and time to fight DMV traffic only to see little Johnny give a lackluster effort which frustrates them because of everything they sacrificed.  Lower the workload and expectations and allow a child to learn and make mistakes and the development with increase tremendously.

You have two great options.  DC parents do not 🤦‍♂️[/quote]
