Girls U little (U12 and under) aren’t as strong of a team. If your kid is very good, I would look for different club. If your kid is decent, she will be happy here. |

Not on the girls side. It’s really subpar and you pay more for the privilege! Coaching in particular. The girls just do not develop at stoddert. Many of the better girls would leave for McLean, BSC and sometimes Arlington. Now stoddert has a pathway to GA with Metro but it’s hard to over come improper technique. Go some place else. |

| Many clubs used to have open houses where you could come and get to know the club and directors. The kids would go out and play and do drills. The parents stayed to hear what the club had to offer. This was directed at kids U7-U10 who might want to join in some capacity. They probably don't do that as much now with covid and everything. I will offer some advice though. If you talk to a director of soccer and they tell you about how great they are and all the things they have done, stay far away from them. If they tell you exactly how they plan to making your child a better player and person then that's who you go with. It's about the player, not the club, especially at his age. |

| Like most things coming out of DC, it is highly over-rated and thinks more of itself than people on the outside think of it. |

| If your kid is coming from rec he will enjoy it. You do not want to go from rec to a top travel club. |
