Recent topics posters strike again! I'm sure no one who works in Arlington is overpaid compared to most places.

They don't get almost free access to fields JFC

It increases my taxes to subsidize the City’s rec programs so they get to use fields for almost free. But yeah, just a hater.


Nice attempt to spin it

not the PP. but I still don't understand how reducing his salary would change what the city charges for rec programs. Are you saying if he made less money, he would do his job at ASA less effectively and they would pay more for the fields?

Yeah, but, like, that’s barely the complexity of running, checks job, a youth soccer program.


But you don’t understand the complexity! You’re just mad your child is on the 6th team.

That’s great whataboutism.

This is about children kicking a ball.

I can’t believe people are actually defending that salary.

Loudoun Soccer’s highest salary is $207k. They are a comparable size. ASA is paying $180k MORE per year, how can they justify that?

Bingo. And what a sad state of affairs that adults are relying on Larla for self worth and some adults for actual monetary worth.

When did it become okay to become wealthy off the backs of children just trying to make a team?


How much do you think a CEO of a similarly sized organization gets paid in Arlington? Complain all you want, but $$$ is the wrong path.


Why youth sports need a CEO is where it has all gone terribly wrong - kids do not have money, and kids also cannot control whether their parents have money.


Way to completely miss the point - They're not a "CEO" but I used that as a comparison and I bet a ton of non-profits with that amount of responsibility/revenue are paid similarly at the top. Again, barking up the wrong tree - complain about mismanagement or how your kid on the 6th team was treated unfairly, but this is large organization.


I actually have no kids playing - but as an Alexandrian, the monopoly of ASA and the City resources expended for ASA to see that the director is getting paid $400k off the backs of children is unbelievable.


off the backs of children

This is hilarious
