[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree Arlington > McLean. I have 4 kids playing travel soccer and have 1 at Arlington, 2 at McLean. The feedback from coaches and interest in players as individuals is unmatched. I don't feel afraid to talk to any of the Arlington coaches whereas McLean has a system in place where you never approach a coach. Also Arlington older teams practice 4 times a week, McLean only 3. Arlington games are videotaped and coaches go over game film with the kids. At McLean you have to video your own kid. Theres no way the coaches are going to be able to talk to the kids on the team because there are 24 kids on my daughters team and my son has 33 on his. The roster issues are not just a girls side issue.[/quote]

I just gotta say, as a coach meself, I find it obnoxious to run rosters of more than 18-20 players TOPS.

I choked when I saw you wrote there are 33. I mean, are you serious? That’s 3 full lineups. How is that conducive to any form of development? The only thing getting developed is the club’s bank account. But, you parents are at fault for festering such egregiousness. [/quote]

100% agree although I'm not a coach.  Still you don't really need to be a coach to understand this.

17-18 on gameday is more than enough.  And that means 19-20 on the roster because of injuries and other absences.  Over that and the club is taking you for a ride.  McLean is I think the worst offender in this area, although Loudoun has been known to play this game too, but not perhaps to the same extent.[/quote]
