[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alexandria [/quote]

Really? I don't know much about the other clubs, but I don't often see updates about Alexandria kids playing in college. If they do its to some really small school that I've never heard of. [/quote]

I'm not an Alexandria parent - but you wouldn't have seen that yet because Alexandria (along with SYC) is new to this level of soccer.  There is no doubt they will be getting more kids into college going forwards.  Even so Bethesda has built college relationships over decades and is far and away the best club in the area for getting kids into college and will likely remain so for the forseeable future.

Strongest teams on average?  Probably Baltimore.  Bethesda and Alexandria both compete well too.  SYC not so much.
Infrastructure - Bethesda, Alexandria, Baltimore, SYC are all completely adequate. 
Best at developing players - Alexandria followed by Baltimore and Bethesda
Best chance to go pro - none of them are developing players that will go pro, with possible very occasional exceptions which have more to do with the kid than the club
Best chance to go to college - Bethesda by a wide margin

I don't know enough about Achilles to comment so have left them out of the lists, as they have not been a factor at my DS's age group.  The 
general 'scoop' has been that they are very much a one man show more than a club with the capability to scale.[/quote]
