We're already in the second week of school and just got practice notifications yesterday. Unfortunately they only sent info on the pool practices and not the regular practices. Didn't even acknowledge that misstep. They typically give coaches ability to share their preferred days of the week and locations....not this year. For whatever reason, the pool practices were also moved to a grass field rather than turf. Arlington grass fields are notoriously awful and not conducive to "developing" skills. Not to mention that if it's rained out it's simply rained out and there will not be a makeup. We know that fields are scarce in Arlington but it's clear that even Rec gets field prioritization. Hard to justify the cost of ADP versus what you actually get.

Emails to ADP management go unreturned so good luck with that.

I'm looking at the game fields and is it true that Chesterfield is bermuda grass? How are games played on grass vs turf? Does that mean to plan for lots of canceled games too?

ADP is a level of rec for little kids. Older rec teams should be prioritized for field space.

This may be true, but Arlington advertises it as a travel league and given the fees we are paying, it should be prioritized.

Supposedly it all starts in just a few days?! Why haven't we gotten a team assignment?! My kid's rec team will have had 3 practices by the time we even start. We should have stuck with that.

Did you accept the team snap invite? Check your spam or junk email.

We hadn’t missed it, but we did get it all last night. Invite to Team Snap, practice info and game schedule. So, 5 days notice. Better than 1-3!
