[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we are proud / supportive of our kids - not living through them as you suggest. It just so happens my kid is also a pretty good player on a great team.

Their success absolutely comes from the team’s culture. Half of them have been together since U9. They are also stacked with speed and skill.

Are they really the best 2011 team in the country, we’ll see this summer. But, they’ve certainly proven to be formidable with only four losses (on age) since U9 by a total of five goals.

Come watch them play. They are fun to support.

Are there any generalizations you can make about the girls who joined the team after the U9 season?  Were there mostly gradual additions each new season or clusters of additions at U11 and U13 when moving to larger sides?  What kinds of players did the club look for when it brought new players into the squad?  As an original parent, how do you think the players, coaches, and parents treated the newbies?  [/quote]

One of my daughter's friends joined another squad that had been together since they were U9, and the parents were bordering on hostile and definitely unfriendly[/quote]

The team picked up players as we moved from 7 v 7 to 11 v 11. A few from McLean, 1 SYC and 1 Brave. A couple got moved up from Arlington’s second team. The players coming in more recently were known to the girls so pretty easy.

The first year was probably the hardest, actually. Post COVID and we had our team bubble. But families are fully integrated and we know we’ll have a couple more joining next fall. [/quote]

Where are the girls coming in from for the fall season?[/quote]

No clue. One of Arlington’s downsides is the lack of transparency and communication. We’ll find out later this spring but we understand all ECNL offers have been made. [/quote]

So no guarantee that the 2011 team added anyone from outside or moved a girl up from the RL team. [/quote]
