[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington and Bethesda usually have very strong B and C teams, due to their depth.  But varies by sex and year.[/quote]

We've been underwhelmed by our experiences on Bethesda B teams. They do have depth such that a few good players are on the B team, [b]but as a club the B teams are treated rather poorly compared to the main sides [/b]and we also feel the only players who move off of B teams are 'flashy' ball hog types rather than team players (who have a harder time creating with some of the less experienced teammates). [/quote]

This has been our experience at some other 'Big' and 'medium' area Clubs.  They really don't give a crap about the lower teams. They just don't.  Instead of seeing a pool of players that they can develop over time, they see $ on the heads of everyone below the A team.  The B and beyond players start getting less right off the bat.  They get less attention, less services, play in lower divisions/leagues--even when similar talent as A team in the early years, etc.  The kids feel the difference, even the youngest ones.

Now for a parent, it can be better because you are not driving as much or going to as many away tournaments.  That is worth if, IMO :lol: .  Let the other suckers drive all over and give up every holiday weekend.  Most aren't going to end up in a better place by 18, very few will have a scholarship worth anything, etc.  [/quote]
