Arden was basically a lot Severna Park parents and kids that created a local club league to compete in the NPYLL. As the kids got older they jump ship for the Hawks, FCA, Crabs, and Breakers. That is why the Arden Diamondbacks 2018 team disbanded. Arden joining forces with API is a good thing and will help with indoor practice facilities in crofton. Arden hopes to compete with the Hawks programs for Anne Arundel County Club league dominance. If Arden and Hawks would ever combine they could be a dominate MD club.
