[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed! I think the issue is a pp questioned the size of Bethesda's girls program and I pushed back by saying that Bethesda usually has two teams in each age group ranked in the top 25 in MD with one team playing ECNL and the other playing EDP National League. No other club has two strong teams playing in two competitive conferences.

I don't believe that Bethesda is the most competitive club or has the best coaches/training but it is a strong platform for players looking to play at an elite level. I personally would avoid the program at u13 and younger -- There are other teams that do a better job of training. If my kid was a star at u12 or u13 and wanted to play at the highest level, I would consider Bethesda among McLean ECNL, FCV, or WS but if my kid were u10 and looking to play at a competitive level while also getting personalized development, I would look at other options. Bethesd is a good club bu t there are better options if you are looking to develop.[/quote]

Do you have specific recommendations for clubs close to Bethesda that would be better for U13?  Someone suggested FC Bordeaux.  Others?  (What about Potomac?)[/quote]

It depends on where you live, whether your willing to fight traffic over the bridge to VA, how far you are willing to drive for practices, and what you are looking for in a club.  For example, if you live in Olney and are looking only for DA/ECNL and are unwilling to drive over the bridge, then your options are quite limited, with Spirit Baltimore and Maryland United out towards Annapolis your only options.  Rush has a very, very good team at U13, but they are not DA/ECNL and their head coach makes BSC's U13 head coach look like a church mouse in terms of the Rush coach's communication style with his players.  Please don't interpret that as criticism of either coach.  It is just a comment on the Rush coach's coaching style.  It is not for everyone, but that could be said for nearly every coach out there at any club.[/quote]
