[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you compare Achilles to Bethesda?[/quote]

Comparing Achilles to Bethesda is like comparing American University to the University of Maryland.  Both are solid programs where your kid can play good, competitive soccer, however Bethesda is huge and he/she can get lost in the shuffle and languish on one of the lower teams.  Like going to U of M, Bethesda is what you and your kid make of it.  If he is able to stand out in some way (size or speed or technical skills) then Bethesda will be a great place.  However, if he needs some time and guidance to develop a field presence or soccer "personality", I would suggest a smaller club.  Not much time is given to developing the kid at BSC because there are many other kids to take his place and plenty of spots needed on the lower teams.[/quote]

I would agree with this take. BSC draws the better players so the need to develop is less as the kids need to push themselves through the competition. The smaller and mid level clubs do more development only to see their players then leave for bigger clubs. It’s too bad but that is part of the soccer environment. [/quote]
