[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain to me the various travel team levels. We're still somewhat new to travel and I'm trying to understand the rank order of a bunch of teams at the u10 level. For Example, can anyone rank order the following teams so I've got a definitive guide who my son is playing from week to week and where they are at their club?

Bethesda blue, green, white?
Arlington Red, white?
Stoddert black, blue, white?
Alexandria?
PPA?
Pipeline black, red, gold?
CSA?
CYA?
Potomac?
And more if you've got them!

Thank you!

Bethesda U10 boys (the girls have a different set-up) is:

Academy I
Academy II
Blue
Green
White
Black
Other--not sure about the other colors[/quote]

Bethesda is really watering down their brand. I can't believe there are parents willing to spend thousands of dollars to be on the 6th team, which is certainly no better than MSI. [/quote]

The lower level teams get significantly better training than most MSI (and PPA) teams, but whether they are loaded with talent at U9 or U10, I can't say.  As the kids get older, the number of the lower level teams shrinks.  There are only 2 or 3 teams below the DA in middle school, and [b]by high school you just have Blue, or maybe Blue and Green, below the DA[/b].[/quote]

This can be a challenge. My DC looked at Bethesda in high school but there was one team for his age group (this was right before the DA). He tried out and got an offer but didn't really like the coach so joined another club.
