This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Arlington is higher in the standings in every ECNL age group, except one. My son's 2010 team has played against Arlington and Union and I don't know that there's one Union/McLean player that would be a lock to make Arlington. If the McLean/SYC was a union at all, all the best boys players were at SYC.


They already grabbed the best players from McLean/Vienna on some of their teams.


"Best" is relative. And many are playing them. Forced their hand.

This is so not true. GP has no say over boys ecnl. OF calls all the shots.

JW, was at the Arlington ID sessions last week. Smart move by Arlington JW and AP are good coaches.


There weren't any boy sessions last week. They were both this week. Monday and Thursday.

Why are people taking this as serious? I read it as an obvious joke. Relax, people.

I respected the way Arlington has done things on the boys ECNL side. If this is true, it goes against the way they used to operate their ECNL teams.

Plus if you make a move as a group, the boys that don't have the skill will just ride the bench or play on the RL teams.


It doesn't have to make sense. If they want a coach or TD from a different club--that guy will say 'okay--but I get to bring 6, 8 whatever of my players with me'. The coach picks the team.

They call the shots.

I hate this Bullsh*t the same thing happened when Vienna coaches came over to Arlington many years ago.

Also saw it happen to one of his Alexandria teams--7 players last minute add from same team. Probably only 1-2 should have made it but they billed themselves as a 'package deal' so the lesser players rode on their coattails.

Things like this decimate a current team. With all the BS at VYS, Union/McLean, and BRYC---Arlington would be absolute idiots to welcome that lunacy to their program (parents included). SYC was smart to retreat and pull out from it.







You get one big clique. You can see it already in the way they interact. It really is piss poor for team dynamics--this brining over one large group with you to another club. As others said, when they come as a group --it's usually 90% sh*t.
