No joke. No one was watching.

What 3 age groups are you referring to?

I can speak for the last years 2011, 2010, and 2009. They were not all at the same fields. There was no rhyme or reason for the groupings. Literally the worst kids on some of the teams, who didnt even get an offer for this year, were moved to first team scrimmage based on one move. The girls working their tails off had no one watching. And the wrong coaches for the first night were sent to the wrong teams. It was a mess. It was very different from, say, PPA. That was all scrimmages and the coaches had clipboards and ran up and down noting every play. It was super organized. The players had eyes on them at all times.

Saw the same last year at their younger age tryouts too - 2015 and younger

2015's? You obviously was not there. There was a coach at every field sometimes 2 coaches. Coaches had clipboards, rosters and they rotated fields and players moved up and down the tiered fields. Lots of kids and difficult to stand out, but to say there was not a coach on the field is absolutely not true.

I was and I did see coaches, but didn't see any clipboards... the tryout players didnt have any identifying marks...

The coaches for the 2015 tryouts were there were clipboards and had lists of all the players trying out. The identifying marks were the players themselves (what they were wearing etc). The coach would ask each player that was not apart of the club their name and mark them on the clipboard prior to tryouts. There was a minimum of 1 coach on each field. There was never a field without a coach evaluating. There were 4 fields (tiered) and every player was randomly put on each field. After 6 minutes 2 players would move up and 2 would move down. Cream rose to the top and the ones not so much went down. No coach stayed on the same field and rotated as well so they could see everyone. The only complaint that could be made was the large amount of girls trying out and being difficult to stand out in such an environment. But overall, 4 new players made the 1st team, 3 or 4 to the second, more on the 3rd and 4th teams. My daughter was their trying out and did get identified fortunately and offered a spot, so obviously we came to the club. Space was crowded but there was definitely a buzz with all those players.

Fake news. This is a coach. Try again.

Pretty sure this is for last year, the 2015s didn't have tryouts yet - or am I mistaken?

We are talking girls and about LAST years tryouts. Someone mentioned that there were no coaches on some fields for the 2015's which they were obviously wrong.

Sorry to disappoint you but Im a parent who paid attention and saw what clearly what was going on. Not my first rodeo watching tryouts with my daughters and son. I wonder if you even know who ran the tryouts?

There is a big difference between parents talking and having an idea of what the roster is going to look like and knowing EXACTLY how many new players there are on multiple teams. Nobody is buying it, Coach.

We are talking about last year....not this years tryouts which have not started. No one knew the top team was taking 4 new players or the second team last year.

You must have BSC Coach derangement syndrome. Your daughter didnt make it...maybe next year.

Ok so BSC coaches talking to you clowns on here now. Nobody cares, BSC tryouts will be packed as always.

I could not agree with you more. Some parents just unhappy that their daughter didnt stand out and didnt get an offer last year.

I don’t know the 2015 coach but if the worst thing a PP says about you is your tryout process is bad, BFD…Don’t be so thin-skinned, it’s not a big deal.

Cream rose to the top and the ones not so much went down. No coach stayed on the same field and rotated as well so they could see everyone. The only complaint that could be made was the large amount of girls trying out and being difficult to stand out in such an environment. But overall, 4 new players made the 1st team, 3 or 4 to the second, more on the 3rd and 4th teams. My daughter was their trying out and did get identified fortunately and offered a spot, so obviously we came to the club. Space was crowded but there was definitely a buzz with all those players.

Fake news. This is a coach. Try again.

+1. As if a parent would know how many new players made each of the teams at this point in time. 😂

You obviously know nothing about Bethesda Soccer. All the parents talk about all the teams at the club. So yes a lot of parents do know.

Unless you are on the 1st team because I have not heard a peep from parents about other teams within the club.

Last year at least at girls literally no one watched for our 3 age groupings.
No joke. No one was watching.

What 3 age groups are you referring to?

I can speak for the last years 2011, 2010, and 2009. They were not all at the same fields. There was no rhyme or reason for the groupings. Literally the worst kids on some of the teams, who didnt even get an offer for this year, were moved to first team scrimmage based on one move. The girls working their tails off had no one watching. And the wrong coaches for the first night were sent to the wrong teams. It was a mess. It was very different from, say, PPA. That was all scrimmages and the coaches had clipboards and ran up and down noting every play. It was super organized. The players had eyes on them at all times.

Saw the same last year at their younger age tryouts too - 2015 and younger

2015's? You obviously was not there. There was a coach at every field sometimes 2 coaches. Coaches had clipboards, rosters and they rotated fields and players moved up and down the tiered fields. Lots of kids and difficult to stand out, but to say there was not a coach on the field is absolutely not true.

I was and I did see coaches, but didn't see any clipboards... the tryout players didnt have any identifying marks...

The coaches for the 2015 tryouts were there were clipboards and had lists of all the players trying out. The identifying marks were the players themselves (what they were wearing etc). The coach would ask each player that was not apart of the club their name and mark them on the clipboard prior to tryouts. There was a minimum of 1 coach on each field. There was never a field without a coach evaluating. There were 4 fields (tiered) and every player was randomly put on each field. After 6 minutes 2 players would move up and 2 would move down. Cream rose to the top and the ones not so much went down. No coach stayed on the same field and rotated as well so they could see everyone. The only complaint that could be made was the large amount of girls trying out and being difficult to stand out in such an environment.
