Why wouldn't Arlington kids go to Alexandria for MLS Next? It must be closer for a lot of them.
(I'm an Alexandria parent, hoping to learn why top level kids choose to go elsewhere. And hoping the higher-ups see the reasons.)
They prefer going to SYC over Alexandria. also not all age groups but overall communication is very poor at Alexandria.
Alexandria is not doing well, people talk, and it is evident by the results.

Arlington does not put ECNL national kids in the ECNL RL games. This has never happened in my kids age group. They may get moved down at the end of the year, but they don't send them to RL randomly mid season. Even when the national team is not doing well and the RL team is.

Lmfao
Can't blame the kids wanting to play at a real level, ECNL boys in the Mid-Atlantic is a total dumpster fire now. Next year? They'll all be scrambling for MLS and GA when they see how bad it's gotten. That ECNL social media post from last night? Classic Arlington, gonna blow up in their faces.

Unsurprising. Arlington Soccer is a soulless endeavour, and that's the type of families it attracts.
Clearly your kids are young. Once you get to U-15 being above 18 on the roster is the norm. Some kids don’t dress. You fight for your spot. And you play on the RL the weeks you are not rostered. That’s competitive soccer. The days of 18 player rosters are dead.
How many kids are on the RL rosters? Because a bunch of kids playing down every week taking their playing time doesn't sound
Like a good system for anyone.
They play down (same year age group RL), they play up (i.e. older age group RL). They find them playing time where it makes sense. They don't disrupt the RL--and the extra players usually help the RL team result and game play. Usually 2 players to each team get farmed out IF the player agrees. Get used to large rosters as your kids get older. It's the norm. There are so many injuries that without rosters of 23+ you could be left short handed for late Fall or Spring tournaments.
So what you are saying is if you are made an offer to play for an ECNL national team you get to pay for the privilege but may end up playing on their ECNL Regional team? That doesn’t sound correct to me. I could see Regional level players playing up or supplementing the National team, perhaps bloating the roster a bit, but I think paying parents would take issue with being demoted to Regional simply because the coach couldn’t assess talent when the original offer was made. We aren’t talking about college of professional leagues here. We the parents are paying for a product and you can’t simply swap out caviar for a jar of Dick’s Sporting Goods salmon roe eggs.
Unfortunately that is the norm with these teams that care rosters over 20. They always say that they are accounting for injuries or conflicts but it's BS. Asking the same kids week after week to play in RL but then expect them to be availalble for out of town tournaments when full time roster members can't attend is ridiculous. I hadn't heard about Arlington rosters being as bloated as FVU but essentially you are correct, they are asking your for an opportunity to play at that level while making you pay as if you are going to get to play NL.

I actually heard he’s a pretty decent coach and very passionate about the sport.
Passionate about making money. Get ready for the sales pitch about his private training company.
Most Arlington players seem to go to Capstone. Close by and convenient.
