When my kids were younger, there was an Arlington coach that did this. Ratted kids out and a few got blackballed.

It was sick. Parents are paying $3-5k—they should routinely check for fit and see what’s out there.

If you are doing your job, you’d welcome competition and be confident your players will stay.

This is not unique to Arlington. All the coaches rat out any players to their current coaches.

It's usually other parents on your team that tell the coach if your kid is trying out or guesting at other clubs.

Of course, rats. They even lie about it. All to position their kid in a better place.

As a coach, if a parent were coming up to me to rat out other players---they'd be on 'my list'. Not in a good way.

The true irony is the rat parent think this helps them---but they are just as susceptible to being knifed in the back by the same Coach/Club.

There is zero loyalty in youth soccer. None. Don't for a second trust anyone. Play your cards close to your chest and always have back-up option.

Clyde is a pathological liar. Please don't compare. L is a great coach and person.

All of this was a 'friendly' way of removing Brave from ECNL.

If the rosters end up being primarily Union with a splash of Brave then yes, besides the 08 age group of course. Time will tell.

What makes the 08 group exempt from all of this?

Assuming PP means 08G Brave. They are the better team head to head with Union - stronger players. I think #4 or #3 in MA. But their roster is small and from what I hear everyone plays most if not all minutes. Might be a shock when they roll up on a 24 person roster.

They had a good season, but let’s not get carried away. At BRAVE, 3rd/4th in MA makes a team (internally) look like Brazil ‘70, but that doesn’t mean FVU keeps just about the entire BRAVE squad.

Nice try! McLean is 1/3 present in the equal partnership.
