Yes. They don't show the new age groups but they plan to split the 2003 into a 2003 and 2004 and split the 2005 into a 2005 and 2006.

I think it is a club on the rise. The challenge is that the club teams, unlike the graduating u19 team, is not likely to play in the top divisions of EDP or the top brackets of tournaments for another year. The training is great but the lack of competition does not help development.

There were both DA and ECNL girls at the tryouts. We'll see where they play at the end of this year.

They do a great job with training.

One of their older teams moved over from Olney Boys and Girls' Club. Not sure about the others.

At least 1 Bethesda player defected to Bordeaux.

From the ECNL team or the C team. There is a big difference. The C team is basically a glorified MSI Classic team.

I heard that half the BSC G04 B team left. Is that true? Why?

As for the girl that joined from BSC, there was one at the 03/04 tryout who was listed on both the ECNL and B team rosters in gotsoccer.com.

They should then reach out to more competitive clubs and see who might be willing to do a friendly. Even some of the ECNL and DA clubs might bite.

High performing B team player - did not even try out for another year at Bethesda. Don't know why.

An '03 team seems to be missing.

03 BSC C team is now 02 C team. I think they merged. Coach is the same.

While BSC can boast about the best competition with their ECNL teams, they cannot compare to the level of training and development that FC Bordeaux provides. BSC does not develop their players as well as Bordeaux does. They are just able to draw the best athletes because of their ECNL option.

Unfortunately this is a common problem: a club that does better development may lose players to a club that has a "winning" reputation.

I hear most of the ‘08 b team left also. It’s a culture thing. It’s just not fun to there.

I heard about the '08 b team, too. I thought a couple of parents wanted to start a team that "put winning first."

I would love to find a travel club in Maryland that made training fun. Any suggestions?
