[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 10, getting great training is the most important consideration (along with how much money and time you want to spend as a family).  Stoddert doesn't really have much of a reputation for providing great training or, down the line, placing very many kids in college.  I like their rec program a lot though.

For our family, 10 would be way too young to think about DC United unless it was in our backyard, and they have a lot of coaching turnover so the training situation can be unpredictable.  PPA has some good coaches, but not a very high level player pool, and we have found it extremely expensive for what you get.  Bethesda has a solid boys program and does very well with college placements.  I imagine it's more expensive than Stoddert, though it's in line with most area clubs.  I'd recommend that you reach out to the program and see if your son can attend some practices with one of the teams in his age group.[/quote]

Our son played PPA's top team this year around that age group.  They were solid.  Not Bethesda first team at all but much better than the Stoddert team we've played.  Achilles and Total Futbol are options for elite players as well, not quite at Bethesda's top team level but right behind them as top teams in that age range.[/quote]
