[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need to play for Achilles to play for SJC (very few of the SJC players play club for Achilles; I think four, maybe five total on Varsity and freshman/JV last year). That being said, I understand Bethesda is one of the MLSNext clubs that does not allow its players to play HS soccer, even if they are able to get the documentation for a waiver (though it sounds like this player is not on MLSNext for Bethesda).[/quote]

Yes and no to the above -- You don't need to play for Achilles to make the SJC soccer teams, BUT many of the SJC players do play for Achilles.  The PP underestimates the numbers -- approx. nine Achilles players played SJC varsity last fall (and all but a couple played simultaneously on Achilles MLS Next teams). And at least another 10 Achilles players played on the JV or Freshman teams.  The Achilles players definitely receive preferential playing time on the SJC teams -- last fall the Freshman and Varsity SJC teams were coached by Achilles coaches.  But, for the second year in a row, the JV team was coached by an SJC teacher.  No word yet on who will be the coach for the SJC Freshman team for Fall 2025.

That being said, your son should absolutely stay with his Bethesda travel team.  And if he should make the Bethesda MLS Next team, then just pass on playing for SJC.
