[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ASA already has a field availability problem! (See other thread.)

Currently Arlington DA stops at U15 for both boys and girls. If they add older teams that will take even more fields away from other programs rec/ADP etc. Arlington DA assumes they will be granted older teams each year going forward. DA teams practice 4 times a week. They demand premium field space (not going to be satisfied sharing a field with 3 other teams).

Unless they get more lit turf fields, they should not get more DA teams.

At the older age groups Arlington DA players could try out for other DA programs (DC United/Washington Spirit etc.)[/quote]

Under that premise, they should probably drop FCV too though.  Don't they have field space issues?  How is this any different?[/quote]

FCV has girls DA up to U19 already. Do you think they should add a boys DA program?[/quote][/quote]

They did drop the boys DA program for McLean. Having a good team doesn't guarantee that your DA program is safe![/quote]

Loudoun may lose boys DA (Maybe they will join boys ECNL too.)[/quote]

Interesting comment, can you expand?  [/quote]

We are getting somewhat off topic.

With DC United DA having a relationship will Loudoun and practicing in Loudoun, it does not make sense for Loudoun to have a DA of its own. ECNL would be a natural league for its top teams to play in. They can still feed into DCU and FCV academies.[/quote]

Loudoun might not get full DA because DCU is moving to Loudoun. But I don't think they will lose U12-U15 DA or give up it for Boys ECNL. [/quote]
