Rude awakening incoming in a little over a month.

If anyone thinks the DC area teams are the best, they have not seen California or even Ohio or PA teams yet.

+1 compared to other teams in other states. There is not much in the DC area in general. You find out the hard way when these teams play the other teams .

There are no great teams here, just some OK teams. Many of the great teams are in CA. It’s a significant difference.

They played the top teams and didn’t lose. The weekend experience could actually motivate and help them. Non Arlington parent, just being honest.

Also a non-Arlington parent. Sounds like their defense played very well, but they didn’t get going offensively. That’s a watch out for a team that’s supposed to be this good.

This is actually a good take. At the end of the day they're 12-13 year olds, who knows where they all will be in 2-3 years. Their defense is great, a LOT of it leans on a single player. Their offense isn't built for consistency, nothing is built up, usually scores happen by being on the better end of 50/50's.

Silver back Arlington dad still quiet no chest to thump about the brilliance of 12-13 year olds

I know people have talked about injuries, coaching problems, etc but this is really surprising and can't be chalked up to only "development". But FVU next year can't be worse so they'll spin it as success story!

Curious to see what happens to that roster. There's talent on that team. Wheels kinda fell off around the same time the merger was announced.

More like lack of development.

Arlington tied all their games but were playing other top teams. So I would conclude that yes, Arlington is good but fairly matched with other top East Coast teams....and note that the Texas and Ca teams weren't there.

Agreed that showcases aren't for recruiting at this age but really just to see some other competition at your general level.

Disagree that anybody wasn't playing to win.

3 draws*
