BSC offering 2 weeks of summer camp to make up for spring cancellation. What about others?

[Anonymous]

Are Potomac, PPA or Achilles doing anything? Thinking about switching because of practice locations but thinking BSC has really stepped up in doing this so we might stick with them another year. What about other clubs?

Lets get this cleared before it gets turned the wrong way. They SAID they are offering 2 free weeks to make up. They are not.

They always offered 1 free whole day week precovid (1.0 weeks)
They no longer have whole day camp. Now camp is half day.

Now they are offering 2 weeks of half day camp which kinda equals 1 whole weeks camp. (2 weeks x 0.5 day= 1 week)

So they are giving basically the same offer precovid in a new shiny package. Its all marketing.

Sorry to be a negative.

But in regards to switching we still love it there and you should still consider it!

Still better than most of the other programs in the area.

Consider staying with BSC--best club around. They are the only club that has announced a plan for summer camps. They seem to be on the ball (no pun intended).

You might want to look at the posts on Achilles before looking there-not so great comments as of late. Potomac is no match. Not familiar with PPA.

Ppa skill level is below travel but above rec

This thread looks, sounds and smells like a complete BSC Marketing thread.

Arlington has offered nothing similar.

They did credit about $350 for this year. Seems light since no field or tournament fees, but unsurprising, and after many years of experience with ASA it would be impossible for the club to underperform against my expectations. And they'll probably just raise the club fees to offset some of that credit.

MSI provided a full refund for all of their Recreation, Select and Travel Programs.

We have 3 other non soccer sports clubs that have offered no credits and were a lot more $ than the big soccer clubs Then for a baseball club that did zoom inside practices with a tennis ball - yeah which doesn’t work, they gave people hard time if did not participate. So yes there are worse. We just move on.

That’s a ridiculous statement.
PPAs top teams are equal with the top teams of most smaller travel programs.
And BSC has good top teams, but their 5th and 6th teams are at about Rec level.

I was using the classic definition of a travel team.. and im still correct.

Youre trying to prove your point by saying "smaller" travel club or "5th or 6th" team. These are outliers and not what people think when they think travel. "Ridiculous" is a stretch. Good argument though.

Smaller compared to Bethesda or Arlington....as are most travel teams.
You obviously know nothing about PPA or the level of their teams, but hey, keep making stuff up if you want.
The top PPA teams are real travel, whatever your definition is.
