[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s stoddert. It’s a bad club. [/b]If your DD is still in the u littles go to another club. Seriously there a lot of good clubs near DC. If she is older or just wants to continue to play there are a bunch of smaller clubs around.

DC Soccer should just merger with McLean. [/quote]

Why do you say that?

Look this is not knocking the kids or parents. Most people start travel soccer not knowing a thing about it.

Stoddert is one of the more expensive clubs in the area, coaches and TD are not the best as seen by the technical skills of their players. This is not the fault of the players they are just not taught things and it is easily seen. They have had a lot of TD’s over the past few years with one trying to take over the board.

The better or more serious players from DC leave for BSC, McLean or Arlington. If a player stays too long at DC Stoddert(whatever they call it), they are way behind the other players at the bigger clubs. You see it when they come to a practice. I have heard the staff of DC stoddert refer to the club as a club of convenience- ie the parents are deciding on the club because it is convenient not for the club’s reputation. It is not thought of as a serious club by the surrounding clubs’ coaching staff or the private schools soccer coaches in DC. McLean refers to it as McLean east because they get so many kids from DC.

Now the rec side is one of the largest rec programs in the area. It would be comparable to Arlington or Loudoun. With that many rec players the travel side should be competitive with Arlington and Loudoun. Also the travel side is NW club very little east of the river.

This past season parent managers were coaching their teams in tournaments. Maybe it was a covid thing.
