[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good system. How hard is it to get on a team for Arlington? [/quote]

Hard.

But that's not the point.

I used Arlington as an example because some people are suggesting that limiting playing time is justifiable when things get very competitive at a high level and older age groups.  And my point was that the (arguably) best teams in northern VA, playing at the highest level, do not find it necessary to do this.

If Arlington can provide at least 50% playing time for all players in DA and now ECNL where their teams are highly successful, why is any other club justified in not doing so?[/quote]

Not hard at all for any of the 3-6 teams in an age group.  The top ECNL teams/ DA in older age groups have a lot of players from other Clubs and that is more difficult.  Somebody on here likes to pump the sh*t out of Arlington. We are here because we live here and we have seen better or similar soccer in other Clubs.[/quote]

I know Arlington has several players on their second teams that are “part time” on their top teams (GA/ECNL). In the rare event that one of them is actually invited to play with top team are they guaranteed to play half the game? I know DA had certain rules, but Arlington is no longer in the DA, do they still follow DA rules?[/quote]

I don't think there's a formal guarantee - but knowing the coaches - I don't think they would issue the invitation without the intent to play the kid for a decent amount of time.  [/quote]
