[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the new age requirements really impacted the U11 Boys, Red team is mostly 2015s dropping down. Those 2016s that were Red are mostly all getting moved down. [/quote]

Red is the third team at this age or the top team? Does it go preacademy 1, preacademy 2, red?[/quote]

Red is the third team but the same impact on PA1 who had almost half the team be 2015s dropping down[/quote]

There are 0 kids from this year’s 2015 PA1 dropping down to repeat u11 so where did these kids come from? This year’s u11 PA2 and below? That doesn’t seem right but Arlington has botched this whole thing so badly that I guess I could see it.[/quote]

The entire pre-academy program is a giant steaming pile of garbage. Here are a few things to consider. 1) if you are PA2 you will never make the ECNL team. Never. Don’t believe the hope they offer you. 2) when U13 rolls around the club prefers outside players to inside players all things being equal. It’s a tacit admission of the failure of their own club but they’ll never see it this way. 3) the training is crap, the PA teams are consistently underperforming expectations. Arlington has the potential to be a great program because it is so big but the inexperience and uncritical carelessness of the people running this program in particular is a handicap. 4) the program and its director are extremely susceptible to enterprising parents and show an obvious amount of favoritism that detracts from overall team performance and cohesion. This may be true at all clubs but Arlington is no different in this regard even though the director tries to show distance from parents. There is a small group of parents allowed in the back room and it shows through the veneer. 5) PA2 exists as a funding mechanism for PA1’s dead-end dreams. [/quote]
