[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnet stopped with DA.  Girls would try-out for pre-ECNL to get in a year early to make ECNL.  Not a single '07 came in this year to get on Green.[/quote]

I guess we'll see at the spring's tryouts if that's true.  FCV can't take everyone.[/quote]

Arlington and Washington Spirit are the most direct threats to McLean retention/recruiting.[/quote]

Arlington maybe, except it's a little further to get to, so I guess that's true, but Not Washington Spirit.  [/quote]

In some age groups, a lot more players left for Spirit than for Arlington.  [/quote]

Maybe this year, as I know one whole team followed each other over there, but that's hardly proof of a trend.  Washington Spirit has a lot to do before it can be "established" as a talent hub.  FCV and Arlington are both better options.[/quote]

I agree that FVC is a better and more established option, but I am not sure about Arlington.  My understanding is that Arlington does not even have girls DA beyond U15 so some parents may prefer to go to a club that offers DA in all age groups, especially those that are closer to college recruitment years.

For the 35th time, Arlington will be awarded the older age groups in the DA as the 04's progress. [/quote]

Or they can just call the older teams "pre-DA" as they do with their boys teams, which were also promised expansion to older age DA groups, but it never materialized. [/quote]

As US soccer has done with other clubs, like VDA, they will just add the age groups as the 04's advance. This allows Arlington time to sort things out with coaching and other issues. [/quote]
