[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP. I have a question. My son is an 08 at Alexandria, and we are considering perhaps making a change for the following reason. I feel like there is not enough focus on athleticism in terms of requiring that the kids take efforts to be in shape (this is not a crack on anyone's weight, I hate it when people on this site do that). I mean, regardless of weight, I think kids should work on endurance and strength. Is there any more focus on that at Arlington, or would we just be considering making a change for no real reason?

At 08 kids are in the middle of puberty. You're going to see all sorts of fitness levels as kids go through this. Stamina levels differ between those who have been through puberty and those who haven't. If it is your experience just this year then maybe you should stick it out for another year if that is the only concern.[/quote]

I mean, every club has some things that can improve, but it is my main concern.  It is just frustrating.  I told my son that if he wants me to shell out all this money for soccer, he needs to work on stamina and weight training, and since he wants me to pay for the team, he does it (does not particularly love doing it).
