Do you normally accept the other offer to secure a spot, or wait longer to hear back from Arlington? Just trying to understand how others have handled this situation.


Arlington teams are pretty set. I would call or email and tell them you have another offer and ask them to tell you whether they think there will be any movement. Offers went out even for bubble players between two teams (to a lower team at first, and then at least one I know of already moved up), so it’s likely you’re on the waitlist for the bottom team.


New poster here. Do you know if U12G teams are now full? Also trying to figure out next steps.

This is correct for U13&Up, and yes Red plays RL.

For lower ages it’s:
Pre-Academy 1
Pre-Academy 2
Red
White
Blue
Black
(Silver - pretty much gone now since two Pre-Academy teams added)


No... PA2 plays RL, maybe 1 or 2 players from Red make the RL team but unlikely unless a lot of the PA2 players leave for other clubs


They call the team “Red” though, not PA2. I agree that it’s mainly PA2 players.


They should probably just change the names to:
ECNL
RL
Red
White
Blue
Black

It would alleviate a lot of confusion and then the girls who have been on Red for a while don’t feel like they are moved down when they make White at U13.

SH is a disaster of a coach. My DS had him and it’s irretrievable.

How long does it take the teams to fill up. Heard many teams still have several open slots.

And yes, also weird that some 2014Red players won’t play 11v11 after having played it last year.


VPSL plays 9v9. At least on the boys side, the rosters are fluid between PA1 and PA2. Some weeks VPSL will be played by the PA1 players and the PA2 players go to the 11v11 game and vice versa.
