2005s and younger have been brought up since U9 with the positional possession style of play. 100% true that we should all be watching the 05-08 Red groups over the next few years. It's a great opportunity for Tommy to show that Alexandria's way works, or alternatively, that he is the overpaid snake oil salesman that many believe him to be.

Oh, by the way, their beloved 08s lost to SYC twice in MLS Next this past fall, 0-2 and 0-3...[/quote]

So as mentioned, the magical Alexandria way doesn’t pan out in the older years as promised. Or, as it is suggested, do you need to start in the system at 9 years old for it to work? How many years do you need to be subjected to this approach for results? I’m sure there are other excuses or explanations, but the mansplaining is getting ridiculous. I’m assuming these are boys records, how about the girls ( or does the system only work for boys)  FWIW, CCL is not a top league. Doing well in futsal? I don’t see any info about that, but who cares? The top programs in the area use futsal for supplemental training if it makes sense and doesn’t take away from real soccer training. Competing in futsal is a waste of money and actually reduces the crossover benefits to soccer. (I.e. if you are doing it for footskills you try to create, experiment and explore - if you are playing to win, the game turns into some version of smash ball) Nannie Lee, your turn to chime in.[/quote]

The girls who want to get serious about soccer or have aspirations to play in college leave for Arlington or Mclean by U14. Until a year or two ago BRYC was also a destination, but that’s changed. Check out the 03/04/05/06/07 rosters on either the Arlington or Mclean teams and see how many girls have Alexandria addresses.  [/quote]
