Other than the 2011 girls, the teams have generally done worse than even their local peers (VDA/FVU). The results have been consistent enough to cause a reasonable person to ask whether the ID/team formation/recruitment mechanism is working. Do we just give EG a pass for another decade? Sometimes a baseball team will change managers not because the current manager is a bad person but because the organization is adrift and needs sharpening, new energy. GP is a great guy and the mayor of kids soccer but is he setting the right tone?

I don’t know the complete answer to your question but if you look at other clubs with better performance outcomes you can imagine they have some goal-setting and accountability. For now I would settle for any modicum of self-reflection and accountability. Imagine if you get a side order of transparency along with it, where it feels like the club is working with the parents and players in the daylight and not always against them in secret.

Lets not forget that even with the 2011s a decent amount of girls came over from McLean years back and are some of the best players on the team or this age group wouldn't be nearly as good either

Say it louder for the Arlington parents in the back.

And now the 11’s are losing some of their best players as are the 12’s. Arlington will not have any strong, maybe not even good, teams remaining.

Most U11/12 teams shoot for 12-14.

at least they are open about this. most clubs are really secretive while they are filling the rosters.

Whoa…did not expect to see this so soon. U12G White has 15 already.

Why did you not expect to see this so soon? I'm new to this, just trying to understand how this is all working. It seemed reasonable to me to think they'd be full!

I don't think its the club being transparent and more the new playmetrics app that lets you see the roster when you sign up. LOL
