No theyre not lol, they are just competitive, which is the bare minimum for a club of their size


Bare minimum is exactly what they offer players.


No need to do more. Customers lined up around the block.

Does Arlington have allegiance to their players? If you make it on a team, should you anticipate being trained by the coaches and remaining with Arlington or will Arlington cut you in a later season to replace you with new players? My child is a lower player and new kids were still trying out last week even after I heard a kid was cut.

You were on an existing ASA travel team but were made to go to open tryouts?

NM I think I misunderstood. You meant still have not heard anything since tryouts (which you did not attend.) Did you ever follow up with ASA? I hope you did and you gave them an earful. Agreed that it’s a totally shit way to run things. Which club did you end up going to?

OP, did you ever get feedback on your kid being cut from travel? Did you meet anyone else who also got cut?

I heard the younger ARL boy teams (2014-2016s) picked up top players from other clubs this year (including SYC and McLean) making for a prolonged and difficult try-out year, but the people I have spoken to sound hopeful next year might be one of the best from a performance standpoint.

No info on the girls side. A little less chatter there. Ad I believe less turnover.

Are there any returning players still waiting for emails?

What's the motivation for doing this


Beats me. As others have said, no communication from them. In another thread, there was one McLean parent who gushed about how great and understanding ARL has been, which has been the complete opposite of our experience so far.
