[quote=Anonymous]MSI is hit or miss. I believe that one of the age groups, either 05 or 06 is coached by the same coach who coaches McLean's top ECNL teams but outside of that age group, MSI is not in the same league as Rush or Bethesda.

Potomac is inferior to the Potomac boys. I can't think of an age group that is or has ever been competitive.

Bethesda is the big dog in MoCo. They have a deep pool of coaches, including the Director of girl's soccer who coached at the college level and was a 4-time NCAA champion at UNC and won a world cup title. Bethesda plays in the top leagues and practices on quality fields.

Rush is rising. There younger teams are much better more competitive than the older teams but most of the teams are more competitive than what you will find at Potomac or MSI.

If your DS is U13 or old and strong enough to play on Bethesda's top or second best team, I would go there. If younger, I would check out Rush. The key is to find the right environment and to be honest, I think the best team for such a player is FC Girondins de Bordeaux. None of the clubs referenced come close to FCGB to developing. At the younger ages, they don't win much but at the older ages, they are competing with the best.

Avoid getting sucked in the brand-name travel trap. Focus on coaches and development. The reality is that most of the teams at the clubs you referenced focus on winning at the expense of development. [/quote]
