The shift was coming slowly, its finally here after another disastrous Union attempt to save face and their ECNL badge.



I thought "poached" is the word used around here. Or, is "poached" only used when a team one doesn't support gets players from another club?

Who cares about the 13 year olds? They all leave Arlington by U-15 to go to McLean given college placement track record which is far superior to anything Arlington has put forward in the past 5 years..

Lot of assumptions. Invite is a good accomplishment for the players or clubs and u do know only 24 kids get selected from all over the country so to make it at all, let them brag a little.


Posts like these are what confuse people, again, NTC isn't a YNT invite. Still an accomplishment, but don't get it twisted.

For 2011 training center Bethesda, Arlington, VDA 2011 all have 4. VDA 2010 has 1. NVA 2011 has 3.


Seem right in general but does VDA has 4? or that is BP doing? but then 2010 has 1 so I guess BP doesn't really have that much power to push?


4 for vda is probably okay. They finished 3rd in MA last year. Arlington should have 6 or 7 though.


Be grateful.

Chill out A-town papa, best teams usually only get 5 at most. They see Arlington as an elite team already with 4 so be grateful cause last year this area's best team BSC had 5 at u14 but zero this fall at u15. On the flip side Surf had 5 last year and 3 of those 5 are on the shorter list of 24 this fall for u15. Will Arlington be BSC or Surf for the 2011 group one year from now?

LOL! I think we know the answer already...Be grateful for rigtt now


BSC 2010 has 3 this year.

Some may have and some may have left for other reasons but, regardless, Union tied the 2 Charlotte teams last year and Brave beat them both. Brave lost their 2 top scorers, but FVU retained enough between the 2 teams to show better than this past weekend.


Perhaps the problem is deciding which players to activate and play together within the 25 they have rostered?
