[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple years ago, the conventional wisdom on this board was that you could move from NL team to another (or top MLSN division) or you could move down. But the attitude was coaches wouldn’t promote you to the top team internally because they didn’t trust that you could adjust to the speed/quality of play if you weren’t on a top team to begin with. And they’d rather take another top team’s cast-offs than risk an internal promotion not being able to handle it. Top team or bust, especially for U13+ was always the message here. Not sure why Arlington is getting picked on here.[/quote]
Wouldn’t say picked on but Arlington is the only club with NL and RL so there is more expectation from RL parents to have their DD promoted. 
What they don’t realize is the NL teams are essentially a separate organization at Arlington. RL players aren’t guesting with NL teams or even practicing with them. NL teams practice together. RL teams practice on whichever night works for the coach. NL teams scrimmage NL teams. RL teams scrimmage whoever happens to sharing the field which is often a “lower” team.  [/quote]
