| Spin-off from an earlier thread. Can anyone give details on these boys teams? |

| DS has joined one of their teams for the upcoming season. I was unable to find any info before we committed so I’m nervous about how things will go. Of the 3 offers my son had, this was the one he really wanted to accept so we decided to let him make the call. So far they don’t seem nearly as organized as DS’s old club but the coaches seem nice. |

| depends on what you are looking for. if you are looking for quality development. I would stay away from MSI/Top rank. I would invest in Lions Soccer Club or Bethesda. |

Bethesda seemed like "Globo-gym" to us - many many teams - clearly a business - way too much emphasis on call to parents of rare examples of players on 5th, 6th team working their way up to top (ie: actual) teams - me thinks the coach protest too much....
Never heard of Lions - except for here, recently. To OP question - we played MSI academy twice last year - won once (by a lot I think) and then lost the 2nd time.. Wouldn't read too much into MSI academy from that - our coach spent practices either messing with his phone or joining in with the scrimmages to show he still had it - and then screamed at them at games (.... almost as if they hadn't had coaching...) - standard dropped as season went on.... |

Has to be the same person advertising lions soccer and using bsc as a buffer. |

+1. Lions Soccer is a complete unknown club in MoCo. Advertising in DCUM won’t make the club any better. |

Lions is just shortened name now for Laurel Lions. Not unknown at all. At younger ages definitely in that second tier. |

Sorry, they are still a complete unknown……..and moving from Laurel to MoCo won’t change that. |

Ah yes the team that ghosted a tournament after losing game 1. Then dropped out NCSL a week before the season started. |
