Did not like the coaching--said they were amateurish, egotistical and at times downright mean-spirited. Ex-college players now trying to coach with a bit of an attitude. Tactics were years behind what was being taught in Europe (where we lived until a few years ago).

Yup, that describes most of the Bethesda coaches very well. [/quote]

Bethesda and FCV should merge clubs. Great culture fit.[/quote]

Is this opinion about the Bethesda coaches the same across all age groups, boys and girls?  I’m thinking about having my U11 tryout for them in the spring for their U12 team. Please share your opinion. [/quote]

Of course not!  You have to keep in mind that every big club has good and bad coaches, and the people most likely to be posting on internet forums are, in general, more negative than the average.

We've had 3 kids go through Bethesda, and 2 are still with the program.  In our experience, the girls' side is more dysfunctional than the boys', though we liked my DD's last coach there (one of the oldest coaches they have).  There are definitely some arrogant boys' coaches, but many dedicated and talented ones as well.  They tend to do a good job developing footskills compared to most area clubs, and have impressive college commitments in the older age groups.  Like most big clubs, your kid will generally get more attention if he is on the A or B team than if he's on a lower-level one, but you really have to ask around.  There are good coaches scattered through each of the age groups at various levels on the boys side.  There are also a number of coaches that are polarizing--some kids and families on their teams love them while others are unhappy.[/quote]
