[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it’s not exclusively McLean but yes. I think the greater concern for others on this forum is being an existing Arlington player who gets bumped down for an existing McLean player. Mclean’s top teams in certain age groups are about the same, maybe a little worse, than Arlington. So there’s a higher chance that a top team spot that could go to an existing Arlington player will instead go to a top team McLean player who isn’t all that much better, if at all.

[quote=Anonymous]I think you’re saying top Arlington teams will likely have some new members from McLean. If so, I am not surprised given the tenor on these forums about the club and the loss of their ECNL charter. I also think the culture of the two clubs and family demographics are similar enough to make Arlington an attractive alternative for families looking for more stable teams than McLean has to offer these days.[/quote][/quote]

We know a few players going to Arlington. Some were ECNL offers made months ago, some are recent RL offers.

The ECNL players were ones who didn’t make Union, but wanted to keep playing ECNL. Given how far away VDA and Loudoun are, Arlington was the obvious choice. Arlington got their pick of players here, with most of the remainder going to SYC or FCV.

The RL offers were for players less worried about the league, but wanted both a short drive and to play for a strong team. They opted to go to Arlington RL over MYS RL due to team strength. Should give Arlington RL a bit of a bump, but we’re not talking about massive amounts of players. Some went to other, strong RL teams nearby instead. [/quote]
