[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are good enough they are not going to hold you back in PA2 or Red. Problem is everyone thinks their kid is better than they actually are. Just because you were on a top team from 9 to 12 doesn't mean there are not other players that have gotten better than your kid or your kid stop progressing. This is perfectly normal but everyone feels entitled because they were on top team and spent all that money. Socker...Everyone is spending the same money to play.[/quote]

This is my read of the situation, too. Parents think their kid is way better than they actually are and blame coaches / club / the system on why they aren't advancing instead of realizing other kids are just better.[/quote]

It’s also a real unique aspect this year of the age change. I gathered a lot of the 2016 “guests” were really 2015s who are now making that team.

People may not like the outcome but my sense from talking to people is they were well ahead in timing of how other clubs were in terms of “bad news” to their own families about kids making it or not for next season. [/quote]

LOL yes they started instilling seeds of panic amongst players & parents in January, announced a whole complicated program of age group scrimmages that got cancelled due to weather and never rescheduled, wound up leaving kids on teams who were told they’d be moved down, and moving down kids who were told they’d be remaining on the same team. Soooooo they were ahead in causing extra stress, being dishonest, and in terms of poor quality of communication?? I always heard Arlington was disorganized but people have complaints about all clubs so chalked it up to noise. That was a mistake - it really is spectacularly poorly run.[/quote]
