Four Soccer is a good option. They also have a coaches in training program for older players who want to get involved with coaching but still be able to play and have fun.

Achilles is tough for outside kids but a lot of good training for players already in their club

Bethesda runs a few different options, but don't know much about them. They're the best club locally overall

Curious to know why a kid outside Achilles would have a tough time?[/quote]

When my DS was there, kids from outside Achilles were grouped together w/o Achilles players. When they scrimmaged with Achilles kids it was often an all-Achilles team vs non-Achilles kids. It seems some parents complained and Sal sat all the players down and lectured them for 2 hours about how some of them just weren't that good and that's the way it goes. My kid was like, I just wanted to play soccer and he wouldn't stop talking! Think of it as an Achilles player training camp with other kids there just to bring in extra $ (see thread on coaches at St. Johns for some related background). This was mid-summer, though. In the early weeks many Achilles kids were still in school, so I hear it was a better experience.[/quote]

Wow.  Sounds like a nasty coach. How does Achilles have a good reputation with that kind of coaching philosophy?  [/quote]
