What goes up must come down. Arlington is known for sluggish high school teams. The way they see soccer is weird. Big and fast and then by puberty big can back fire on you and the agility takes a dive. Then problems start for these teams. Keep it up Arlington! Way to go.
No. It is more what wins at the ulittles does not win at older ages. The older the players get the less and less goals are scored by long balls with an offensive players running it down. Also as the kids age the physical advantage of early development disappear.
At older ages the winning teams are the one who can score by breaking down a low block defense once the defense has set and the offense players are not moving forward. Watch these teams. As soon as the offensive players can not move forward they do not know what to do. There are very few one on one opportunities or long balls that generate scoring opportunities because of the designs of the defense and experience of the defenders.
Arlington(and other clubs) does not develop the players who can break down defenses. These players have to have a great first touch, vision, be comfortable in tight spaces, have a high speed of play and be able to create after being stopped from going forwards. This actually requires the players to be in a practice environment that stresses those abilities.
How would you know any of this? You would have to have watched every game of every age group over the last year. I doubt that. You are just saying general nonsense which may or may not have been true at some point in time for certain specific age groups.

Why are the Vda teams so dirty? Is this coached and worked on in practice or is it just because their parents are trashy?
Quite the socio-economic and racial overtones from Arlington Dad. Just cause all your Arlington kids go to private schools… This is why everyone hates on Arlington - you are snobs through and through.
Don’t be such a Karen!

Nah, just these kids' awful parents who likely will teach the kids to be just like them.
It's really wonderful to read all the Arlington cope about "ringers" and other excuse-making. They trash the refs constantly, too. They'll grab at any excuse. This team's parents are the poster children for Horrible Delusional Sports Parents. They deserve every bit of the comeuppance headed their way.

What about Arlington trapped players?
One of the vda “ringers” is a 2011.
When are the best players at Arlington leaving for Vda?
Rumor at least one is on the way.
Right.

What goes up must come down. Arlington is known for sluggish high school teams. The way they see soccer is weird. Big and fast and then by puberty big can back fire on you and the agility takes a dive. Then problems start for these teams. Keep it up Arlington! Way to go.
Yep. They now follow the SYC way. Irrelevant after U16
