[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from a good source that Arlington boys will be joining both this MLS league and the EDP. They will put forth 2 teams (U15/U17)  in this MLS league and the others will play in the EDP with hopes of someday getting on the MLS team. The girls are still waiting to see what FCV does. If they join the GLA then Arlington will too with hopes of selling it to their families. If FCV is doing it then it must be good! EDP is an option for girls too but up to this point it has been light on the girls side. [b]Arlington views the boys and girls separately and are not willing to base decisions for one looking at how it will impact the other. They are going to make the best decision for the boys team and then look at what options remain for their girls [/b]and will make the best available decision for the girls. If ECNL is not on the table for the girls they cannot chose it.[/quote]

So boys side determines where Arlington ends up with no real input from the girls side? The girls side will just have to go along with whatever the Arlington decides is best for the boys. Not a great thing if you are in the girls program.[/quote]

I don't think this is fair to Arlington.

It seems to me that Arlington are attempting to do what is best for both boys and girls independently.  In other words they want the boys to join the MLS leage and the girls to join ECNL.  It would not be right for Arlington to make any deal which sacrifices boys' wellbeing for girls, or girls' wellbeing for boys.

The teams which seem to be putting their own interest ahead of the kids are the ones blocking Arlington girls from joining ECNL without the boys.  McLean and BRYC are hoping to benefit by getting the best players from Arlington which will improve their own reputation and profitability.  The fact that they will conseqently cut some of their own players, breaking up existing teams all over the region, cause anxiety and longer travel times for many kids and parents doesn't seem to bother them at all.
