[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the feedback! Looking at all of your suggestions, thank you. We live in very close-in Silver Spring, so all of these are within range (and all involve some driving / buses.) * Why are there no Silver Spring clubs?

As between DC Stoddert and Potomac, any major cultural differences? They have tryouts at the same time and both seem relatively similar as far as size / level of play / etc, yes? Rush Montgomery, too.

Is Bethesda much more competitive than those two or just better known? Also I saw something about Achilles on another thread, any where they fall in the mix?

We are thinking he should tryout for a just a couple of clubs now, and if those turn out not to be a good fit, we'll see if any NCSL or MSI classic teams put out calls for players after memorial day.

Also just curious what people think: Are the CCL and NCSL teams playing at a much higher level than SAM select teams at these ages? A lot of the SAM teams seem to cater to speakers of other languages, maybe 1st gen / immigrant players and parents. I wonder if the quality of play is much lower or if it's more of a financial / cultural split (or both.)

Also how competitive are local high school teams (public and private) as compared with the clubs? What's harder, do you think, to make the cut at Bethesda or at Whitman or Blair, for example?

Just trying to get the lay of the land, curious to hear what your perceptions are.

Thanks folks. Enjoy the weekend, much success to all the players / teams![/quote]
