Aren't their teams in ECNL Florida? That doesn't make sense or are you saying that they are now trying to get into MLS Next after 2 years in ECNL.


You know what does not make any sense? Refusing to play teams in other leagues, or refusing to enter teams in state and regional competitions because of idiotic league rules. Good for Arlington. More people need to get on board with this mentality.


All of these teams play each other on the boys side, at least in this area. What doesn’t make sense is to have showcases on the same weekend, which leads to attendance by college coaches being split, e.g. UVA is scheduled to be in Florida, but not here, VT will be here but not Florida.


My original comment wasn’t necessarily about the timing but more as to why Arlington’s ecnl teams aren’t in florida. Did they not qualify or was it something that qualifying wasn’t necessary and they just chose not to attend.


They chose not to attend.

Arlington does not play DCU in league. Scrimmages. But not league or showcase.

Pardon my ignorance, but what could be happening here? What's a motive for the conflict?

Arlington has always preferred to keep costs down, and avoids the more expensive ECNL trips where possible.

any chance that this gets cancelled due to extremely low temps expected this weekend?
