[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had heard the same thing. I think that there are a number of kids with Bethesda who would love to move to Stoddert in DC, but seems like you need an in to get noticed at the tryouts because they are inundated at those sessions and most kids who are there stay put.

Any thoughts on Washington Soccer Club or Capital FC?[/quote]

Why would kids playing for Bethesda want to move to Stoddert?  Just to be closer to practice fields?[/quote]

Perhaps because coaching at Bethesda is wildly inconsistent. Perhaps because some families get tired of paying the same fees but receiving far less for them than peers even within the same age group. [/quote]

Absolutely true. Bethesda has way too many teams and the kids on the lower teams (bulk of them) end up paying fees to provide the upper teams with more practices and better practice facilities. Add to that a healthy dose of politics/ass kissing, a large number of coaches who could care less about coaching and a corporate culture infused with a sense of superiority and you end up with a toxic club. Can't tell you how many people have left Bethesda in the last two years both from "top" teams and those right below. Maybe they will figure it out one day, but I have my doubts. Unfortunately, it seems that most clubs in the area end up repeating the same mistakes.
