[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pro- and anti- Washington Spirit crazy trainers on this board have convinced me that staying for girls DA in Arlington was probably DDs best soccer decision to date! [/quote]

What formation does Arlington use? If there is no U16 official DA team, what is Arlington's plans for its 04s?[/quote]

This has also been covered waaaaaay back. The likely plan for Arlington DA is the age groups will be added as the 04’s progress. The concern was that their 03 on up age groups may have been to thin to support a competitive DA. This allows Arlington to grow and scale the program properly. [/quote]

How much guarantee Arlingon got from US soccer  that it will indeed happen? Does it depend on the 04 team performing?[/quote]

They have no idea how the 04's would perform this year when they were awarded a DA so why would it matter next year? Arlington is big club that is better to have in DA than not. I don't think it is so much of a guarantee as much as it is the likely the plan.[/quote]

100% agree. Arlington makes sense as a Girls DA team. I can't imagine that the plan by US Soccer isn't to continue adding to the program much like it often does on the boys side. [/quote]

There had to be some reason they didn't just award it all at once. Seems like staffing or field availability would be the most likely reason. Or it could have been questions about the strength of the program at the older ages. If you thought the program was strong at younger ages and weaker at the older ones, you might delay the award for the older age groups.  If it was a guarantee or a matter of course, they would have awarded it all up front.[/quote]
