[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington04 and will not return for GAL.  This was decided before this announcement.  [/quote]
Says who?[/quote]

Uhhh says me
I’m the one that pays the bill that Arlington Soccer sends so that decision to leave the club and take her elsewhere is mine.   As previously stated that decision has been made.

If you’d like to pay her bill then maybe I’d consider letting you influence that decision until then she won’t be moving to GAL in her junior year.  
Sorry if you thought the entire team will fall in line and go play in this new league.   She’s not the only one[/quote]

:lol: good luck navigating the politics and trying to get a starting spot on a brand new team.  Should be exciting for her.  What a “smart” parent.  [/quote]

Also Arlington 04 (starter) and planning to stay.  If most of the starters stay, the girls will do fine.  I’m leery of trying to break into Mclean at a recruiting age. None of the other ECNL teams are worth it for college recruiting.  [/quote]

Last place McLean 04 will help her recruiting but the other ECNL teams will not? Bartender...[/quote]

It’s about the connections and phone calls that Clyde can make at this point in the process, and Mclean has more of those connections than any of the other ECNL teams. 04s can start talking to coaches this summer, if the coaches want to talk to them. This late in the cycle, when D1 coaches either already have 04 girls on their radar or not, would Mclean advocate for my brand new daughter or for someone who’s played there for 3+ years and whose parents have already done all of the political connecting? I’d rather my DD be top on the Arlington coaches’ advocacy list than last on the Mclean advocacy list. Sad but true, it’s not a meritocracy.  Especially around here.  [/quote]

Funny thing about all this post. You really have no idea who is posting LOL everyone has their own agenda. The Dad who is scared their kid is middle of pack and won’t start on an ECNL team and what happens if the team leaves to go ECNL and she can’t get a spot or worse this league is horrible without the top girls. The mom who’s kid is middle of the pack on ECNL and doesn’t want better kids coming on to push her kid out. The coach who wants all the best girls and will promise the world. Don’t be fooled and just do what’s best for your kid. It’s youth soccer for Christ sakes. [/quote]
