[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington way is coming into reality like clockwork. Its all downhill after 8th grade, you have been warned.[/quote]

Please explain. They drop talent wise or the teams don;t improve? College outcomes look pretty solid so indlividually they seem to being ok, what am I missing?[/quote]

What wins at the younger ages does not win at the older ages. Arlington’s program does not develop technical skills and speed of play. Arlington has a big pool of player but will select and starting players with bad first touch and substandard technical skills. The technical kids leave or are pushed to the side.

At the older ages inaccurate passing= turnovers, bad first touch = slow speed of play, slow speed of play= turnovers and miss opportunities. Each year the athletic differences decrease and the speed of play increases. The ball moves faster. Players have to preform with the ball under pressure and in tight spaces. Otherwise you are developing fullbacks and if your best players are [b]fullbacks[/b] you will not win.[/quote]

You do realize not every player, who plays, in defense is a "fullback," yeah?  Clearly, you do not.

Fullbacks are specifically the left and right backs.  They often have duties to support the attack and can be quite rapid.  The central defenders are centre halves or center backs. They have traditional defensive duties and less so support the attack.

You mistakenly seem to believe a "fullbackk" is the whole back line.
