I like Alexandria. I just think they can do better. Step up and be competitive at the highest level.

This never happens at Arlington. Never will. Mommies and daddies call the shots.


Just because your kid didn't make it then doesn't mean it's not happening this year. They will grab the best players especially for that 2011 group before they want to win the national. All the other older age groups are looking to strengthen the team for the recruiting years and have good performance at showcases.


I have a hard time believing that. It is doubtful that these "best" players are better than their current players. Unless they are significantly better, it won't happen.

Arlington's assistant coaches are more qualified than Alexandria's first team head coaches.


That is a fact. Alexandria lacks coaching quality. There a couple that were good but no longer coaching.

He was a great coach when our kids were younger but we want a coach with experience placing kids in colleges.

1/3 to half the spots on Arlington on every ECNL team are in play. Depending on team, Arlington happy with top half or top 2/3.


No way more than 1 or 2 girls make each team. Arlington parents are not going to let 1/3 of the girls be replaced


This is the Arlington way


This year will be different.


Why?


Call around...slot of people going to IDs with ARL


So there will be a lot of girls trying out. What makes you think that there will be roster movement?


If ECNL is what the ECNL hats say it is then no one should be surprised if there is movement. Isnt that the point of playing in any leagues? I'm sure some surprises are on the horizon


It is and that is why there will be a lot of turnover. Arlington does not protect slots for girls. Always adds where it makes sense.


It's a competition. entitled are we?


This tracks for Arlington.
