In competitive sports, you talking loyalty means either you are the best or, you are the worst in the team. Most times, the latter.


I donpt know that it does in the sense that PP means loyalty, but my son is neither the best of the worst on his team (non-Arlington). He is moving to Arlington because his current coach thinks he will be viewed as a better prospect by the club that he currently plays with in the future if he plays for Arlington for a year. To me, that seems like disloyalty (viewing someone more favorably because they went elsewhere).


That may be the stupidest thing Ive ever heard. A coach is sending your kid to another club to get coached better so he can come back to the old club with better skills so he can move up a level? What??? That does not sound right at all. Snort.

Yup, and also because he thinks that outside players are viewed more favorably that current players of the club. The latter part makes sense from a $ standpoint.

It absolutely does not. The club loses revenue cuz the kid leaves and they bank on him coming back...why? That's a stupid financial move. IF (and that's a big if) he is getting better training, why would he come back to a 2nd rate team? Or if he's trying to make top team, doesn't mean he improves all that much at Arlington if he hasn't done so already. I mean this smells buddy. Maybe they just want to get rid of the parents...lol.

Not the PP - but separate the coach from the club here. Imagine the coach is a good guy trying to help the kid, and prepared to go against the financial interest of the club to do so. "The club" is the bad guy here - not willing to give a deserving player a spot on the roster for the top team next year because they'd rather give that spot to a new incoming player in order to increase revenue. Then the story makes sense.

any club that makes cuts does not loose money if a kid moves on, it just makes 1 fewer cut

Yeah, they are not going to lose money.

Can you elaborate? Are you talking about ECNL or also for red? I knew ECNL invites went out a while ago, but I thought red team invites weren't going out until after last week's tryouts.

The chatter is some ECNL players are being dropped to Red. They will have till Arlington makes their official invites for the rest of the age group(excluding ECNL) but anyone pushed down is pressured to commit before the official announcement. They have a ton of interest and want to get outside players in. Also GA, White and Blue are in Covid lockdown. So I do not know how that will work for tryouts at other clubs but I image it will make it hard for any Arlington player caught by surprise.

We are leaving Arlington and moving to a top team with a competitor. The player development mantra is a facade. You talk your way up here.
