[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]received 2015 B Arlington offer for Silver which is the lowest team and have DCSC offer for Red which is 2nd team. Thanks for the advice as DCSC is freely letting me delay my decision. I'm torn as to which one to take. [/quote]

Can you handle the commute to DCSC practices?  If so, much clearer path there to #1 team at a young age if that is your goal.  The practices may be more competitive (development).  It is a good club.  However, depending on the depth of the 2015B group at Arlington and DC's level, the Arlington Silver team could be a good, competitive environment for development.

Arlington tends to lock in players to tiers at very young ages and stick to it.  Part of it is that there are just so many players trying out at a young age (hard to get a handle on it).  Plus, they get a lot of new players externally and at Arlington the tie-breaker goes to external players for placement onto higher teams.  Even if your DC develops, you will have a hard road getting them advanced to higher tier teams, but not impossible.  Ironically, going to DCSC at a young age may put you into better position for placement on a higher Arlington team down the road (again, if that is your goal).
