[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to see that BSC boys coaching is "tremendous" since it has been a miserable experience for our young girl.  We chose BSC looking for a highly competitive level of play for our motivated and skilled player.  But BSC took on way too many girls and the skill level is all over the place.  Before they tiered the kids for the spring, it was basically expensive rec level play.  One of the teams didn't even have a dedicated coach.  Can you imagine paying $3000 and not having a coach?  There is almost no feedback (except the constant requests for time and money).  Our child was "evaluated" via an online form by a coach that had never seen her play in a game.  Practices are largely just scrimmages on tiny, inconvenient, overcrowded fields with little active coaching.
I do not doubt that BSC is the top club for older children at the top levels, and it sounds like the boys program has a lot to offer, but the youngest girls program is unimpressive.[/quote]

It has always struck me as strange that the boys' and girls' programs at Bethesda don't seem to be coordinated at all.  I know that people thought the girls' program was not terribly well managed under the old girls' technical director, though he was reputed to be a very good coach and knowledgeable about soccer.  I think people hoped that the new TD for the girls would bring about positive changes.  Perhaps that just takes time, but it does seem bizarre that there would be a team without a dedicated coach.

Have you raised these issues with the coach, age group coordinator, or anyone up the chain like the technical director or executive director? I have recommended in other threads that unhappy parents take this approach before bailing.  Sometimes you can actually bring about change, and at least you'll feel like you tried.[/quote]
