[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so to get back to our regularly scheduled bickering... with VDA vacating their GDA slot, does that open the door for ASA to get theirs?

Previous posts have indicated that ASA is tapped out on field space and can't fit in 5 teams X 1 extra night per week of practice. Maybe they can team up with someone like BSA to access just a bit more.[/quote]

I don’t really know Arlington well or their field space issues but I do know that by simply adding DA does not mean adding a whole other team. It just converts the current A team and puts a patch on their arm. Some outside kids will certainly come to tryout but not as many as you’d think. [/quote]

Yes.  Exactly.  Look at the recent boys teams--2006, 2005...the DA is just the red team now.  This shifted all the players up where the blue team became the white team, etc.  This makes the majority of parents ecstatic thinking their kid has been promoted, when it is really just a shifting of sands.

The problem is after U14, they all shift back down.  But, to Arlington parents the allure of the 'red' team has always made them batsh*t crazy.  They think it is the epitome of soccer greatness.  There is a very insular view in the Club where many fail to see how limited options that exist for staying put.

So---yea...it girls can follow the pattern of the boys and think DA means something there. However, all it has done is created even more teams which means less field space.[/quote]
