[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello - we will be moving to the area in the next few months and we're considering having our daughters try out for Bethesda SC. Our youngest is 7 and our oldest almost 10.  Anyone out there willing to share their experience with the Bethesda SC U8 and U11 girls teams? How are the coaches? Parents? Players? How often do they practice? Are practice locations fairly easy to get to from the Bethesda area? I noticed that the girls side has two teams while the boys side has many more, is that due to fewer girls trying out, or something else?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]

There is some decent info about the club and the current U10 team in the "Frostburg Camp" thread, which is worth a read if you are interested in hearing from some some pro- and anti-BSC posters.  Please remember that (a) BSC is a big club, with the pros and cons of any of the other big clubs in the area, and (b) if you read enough on this site, you will read many negative posts about every single club, whether travel/rec, etc., and every single league those clubs play in.  There is definitely some good information to be gleaned from some of these posts, but you have to be aware of posters with negative agendas about certain clubs and take some of the posts with a grain of salt.

As you may have guessed, we are at BSC on the girls side and have had a very positive experience.  Our daughters' coaches have all been excellent and greatly improved them over their time with the club, which began with the U8s. Others may disagree, but I think BSC's girls program has the best staff in the area.  Many of those coaches are also women, and several have been role models to our daughters.  I would not have thought that was an important factor when our girls started as U8s, but I have come to appreciate it over the years and have realized its importance in our girls development, both on and off the field.

BSC, just like any other big club, is not for everybody.  As a PP mentioned, I think it would be a good idea to look at some other options in the area, just to get your bearings and get a feel for the various clubs.  Maybe try to attend a couple practices at different clubs, as that is usually the best way to get a feel for the club, including the coaches, players, parents, commute times, etc.

Good luck.[/quote]
