[quote=Anonymous]I can second the parking situation at SAC.  We have played there several times for normally scheduled games as well as tournaments.  It's a nightmare.  The facility is incredible with several very nice fields, but that parking is insane.  Some tournaments you have to park on the main road leading into the complex and it is a hike to almost all of the fields, god forbid a field at the back of the complex which is probably close to 3/4 mile walk.  We got stuck in the main parking lot trying to find a spot one year, dropped off our son so he could be on time (30 mins before game), and barely made kickoff.  I'm assuming parking is tough for practices as well, but not to the level of games/tournaments.

I have seen all 3 teams play at various age groups over the years between two kids (not U11 unfortunately).  Bethesda moved the ball around very well and actually played soccer every game.  Same with Pipeline.  The Pipeline teams have always seemed very well coached and drilled in playing the game.  SAC has been a little hit or miss as others have noticed.  I've never been impressed with their teams at the younger ages except maybe one.  Not sure what happens when the top teams go to Armour, but they seem to have a good thing going there so that's something to think about.  I would recommend, as others have, go talk to the coaches, see if you can get in on a session, and see how it works out.  I don't think you can go wrong with any of those options assuming he is good enough.  Be honest about that last part.  If he is good enough, but at the bottom of those teams he may make it on the team, but may not get enough reps to continue improving.  It's a delicate balance at U11 of playing with better players, but also being able to play in a game.[/quote]
