That site is not like GotSoccer. It accounts for MLS teams playing each other.

U13 boys top 10 from that site:

1 VDA ECNL [33] 35.56
2 RICHMOND UNITED ECNL [49] 35.14
3 HERNDON YS ASSOCIATION AJAX [74] 34.77
4 LOUDOUN SC SOCCER ECNL [94] 34.53
5 ALEXANDRIA SOCCER SA RED [95] 34.51

8 GREAT FALLS RESTON SC ELITE [302] 33.05
9 VIENNA YS EAGLES [348] 32.78
10 VIST CLIFTON COBRAS [374]

OK. But if you're going to do that, shouldn't you compare all age groups instead of just Arlington's weakest team?

U10
1 ARLINGTON SA RED [54] 28.22

U11
1 ALEXANDRIA SOCCER SA ALEX RED [108] 29.71
2 SPRINGFIELD SOUTH COUNTY YOUTH CLUB BLUE [147] 29.34
3 ARLINGTON SA RED [170] 29.06

U12
1 RICHMOND KICKERS YOUTH SC ELITE RED ECNL RL [16] 33.54
2 SPRINGFIELD SOUTH COUNTY YOUTH CLUB BLUE [178] 31.27
3 MANASSAS SC LIONS GOLD [240] 30.86
4 ARLINGTON SA RED [257] 30.78

U13
1 VDA ECNL [33] 35.56
2 RICHMOND UNITED ECNL [49] 35.14
3 HERNDON YS ASSOCIATION AJAX [74] 34.77
4 LOUDOUN SC SOCCER ECNL [94] 34.53
5 ALEXANDRIA SOCCER SA RED [95] 34.51
6 BEACH FC RED [231] 33.40
7 ARLINGTON SA SOCCER ECNL [283] 33.14

U14
1 ALEXANDRIA SOCCER SA RED [54] 36.97
2 ARLINGTON SA SOCCER ECNL [71] 36.72

U15
1 ARLINGTON SA SOCCER ECNL [12] 40.11

U16
1 ARLINGTON SA SOCCER ECNL [3] 41.70

U17
1 RICHMOND STRIKERS ELITE [28] 41.84
2 SYC ELITE [60] 41.37
3 RICHMOND UNITED ECNL [64] 41.34
4 VDA ECNL [67] 41.32
5 ARLINGTON SA SOCCER ECNL [77] 41.19

U19
1 HERNDON YS ASSOCIATION [24] 43.14
2 FC RICHMOND MAGIC ELITE [37] 42.56
3 LOUDOUN SC SOCCER ECNL [84] 41.78
4 RICHMOND UNITED ECNL [96] 41.54
5 ARLINGTON SOCCER ECNL [103] 41.43

So Arlington are top in three age groups, and only outside the top 5 in one age group.

The reason Arlington are the best is because of the coaching team which is hands down the best in the area.

"Best" can mean so many things. Which is the "best" car? Best for what is the better question.

When you have to start numerous threads announcing your superiority, it's masking something.

People in Arlington think so, which is really, really important to people in Arlington. I guess all those greats they develop U9-12 have already left for Europe, which explains why they need to import over half of their teams at older ages. The question is kinda silly in the first place. Answering it in the manner that our friends in Arlington is sillier, but tells you a lot about parents at the club.

Okay now explain why these other clubs are EXPORTING their players to Arlington

To misplace the kids that developed there. Their physicality and throw away kids when they are past their use allowed wins in the younger years which attracted STUPID soccer parents fixated on U9-10 trophies and all the glory. This created hype around the Club. This allowed them to get in better leagues...and then all of the developed players come over for exposure. See how that works? It's why you see the gloating of U13 and below Arlington parents and the dissatisfaction and vitriol from the ones with kids that got sh*tcanned to the lower teams.

Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie played for Arlington Soccer Association in their youth.

How does someone in Arlington commit suicide? They jump off their ego

The myth perpetuated by all of these Arlington alum is hilarious. They aren't even a major player in the entirety of the US.

Try California or Texas.
