[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trick with BSC if you are joining later is to shine during a game playing for one of their rivals - Paragon, Potomac or even Achilles.  But at that point why join?  You are probably satisfied where you are.

Otherwise, they reward loyalty - if you started with them in juniors (and financed the 170,000 a year salary for their director) they will put you on their first or second team, no problem.  Their final career banquet proves this - so many pics of their Academy kids in BSC jerseys as a 5 year old.  Can you blame them?  It’s good business.[/quote]

This is true, but they will not pass on talent. If an outside player trys out or joins practice for evaluation, and they play very well, regardless of what position they play, BSC will offer you a position on the top team. They do pull from within, which is a nice perk. All the other clubs do the same. BSC has taken many players from outside the club and placed them on their teams. They want good talent associated with their name.

The challenge is once you get to the U13 level and up, the players talented enough to play at that level, are trying out for all the top clubs. They may get an offer from BSC but decide to go with DC United. Also, the number of players in this area who are talented enough to play at that level, become fewer and fewer, as they move up clubs. So, there are not many players to pull from that are more talented than the plaers moving up within the same club. If there are better players, then those moving up can be placed on the Blue team while the better players, even if outside the club, will be placed on MLS Next. This is how the clubs do it. Talent wins over everything, but if not enough talent shows up, they pull from what the have.

BSC offers outside players a yes/no notice first to see who accepts, and then offers the current BSC players afterwards. [/quote]
