[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, you would out your kid in PAC over what club, because they market that they develop their kid to play for Arlington?  Would you move your kid from let's say Vienna to PAC because PAC develops kids to play for Arlington or McLean?  Like Vienna doesn't do that or any other club? This is ridiculous.[/quote]

Depends. Players can go from low levels or even rec soccer at Vienna (or Arlington or McLean) to PAC and then somewhere else. Would they develop like that on the lower-level VYS teams? Maybe, maybe not. Get beyond the earlier ages, and a lot of PAC teams end up higher in the NCSL ladder than Vienna White or Black teams.

PAC is just a different environment. U9s through U12s all train together, they love soccer (as opposed to some athletic kids elsewhere who don't really care) and it's pretty cool. If you like that, great. If you prefer being on a third or fourth team somewhere with one coach who may or may not know what he or she is doing, that's a risk you take.

Different strokes and all.

Not sure why people feel the need to denigrate it.[/quote]

two players left and the team fell off a cliff. That seems like the majority aren't being developed, certainly not in any way that they wouldn't be at competing clubs [/quote]

Again the club isn't trophy chasing. Its about helping every player they have develop to their full potential whether stops at Pac or goes on to the next level. The true fact is most every DMV soccer players career will end before the become a professional. There are plenty of high level ECNL kids that fail to play even at a mid level college. I know its 1 in a million shot but Pac is the only local club to put a player on the USMNT in the past 10 years. [/quote]

Sorry, there were no PAC kids facing Mexico in the nations league final.  [/quote]

No but in the past 5 years Bill Hamid a product of PAC has been on the USMNT. When have any of  those Arlington top players played for the USMNT. Oh thats right they haven't.[/quote]
