08s never lost players.

Arlington has no drama because they’re not good on the girls side other than the 2011 team. And they don’t have a great college recruiting record. So if your DD doesn’t want drama, but also doesn’t want to be the best or play college soccer, then go to Arlington. Unless your DD thinks they can break it into the 2011 team.

Arl has the resources of an entire county so they should have their stuff together because they don't have to lobby the county for field permits etc. Their big issue is the inability to develop players after a certain age; they recruit from clubs outside the county for their top teams rather than promote/develop from within from the "second" teams.

Said if from the beginning Arlington is the place to be. You will never have to go to nationals, big money save, and time suck avoided, summer vacay yas!!

You will never get cut, cause Arlington soccer moms (roar)

And free kits from Amazon!! and the most important guaranteed walk-on roster spot at Bowdoin or Williams. IG here I come snap snap

or

Maximize your youth soccer ability and body, sign NILs and Go Pro with SYC

or

Make collateral payments to a therapist and ECNL league dues to Bethesda and then probably play professionally if that is your will cause you survived youth soccer and can probably play!

or

Play with your friends at your local EDP club and be the girl everyone wants on their coed soccer team as an adult

Same with NVA. VDA also seems to be in a good spot.

Only issues with Union and Brave.

NVA "alliance" changing, though probably very little real impact. They just suck as an organization though, stealing people's money and all.
VDA "gaining" BP....some view that as a positive, and some view that as a negative.

Other than Bethesda coaches verbal abuse.

And more draft picks at the recent NWSL draft, than any other ECNL club east of SLSG; but McLean has the college recruitment and IG on fire, this is way more significant

And lack of fields

Union has the best college recruiting success hands down so nothing else matters

So much chaos right now with all these clubs. Seems every club is getting bashed left and right. Are there any top level clubs that actually have their act together?
