[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real problem is that BSC doesn’t have decent competition inside a 30 minute radius in an area concentrated with talented and well trained girls with plenty of money for private coaches. Some have skills coaches, running coaches, and strength coaches starting in middle school. There are too many players on these rosters. Families join because everything thinks their kid will work their way up, either to the first team, or onto the field at game time. But that isn’t always the case. If there were another decent club that doesn’t make you take the beltway or the AL bridge at rush hour, or in Baltimore, it wouldn’t be as much of a problem. The league has cause this mess by not encouraging real competition in a very soccer-dense area. [/quote]

I have seen the local trainers collect over $20K for individual girls training as they grow from 10 to 16 years old.  These girls and their parents all have dreams of UNC, FSU, ND, DUKE, UVA or the new trend of turning pro and foregoing their college years.  A few of these girls can actually play at that level...most of them can't...many get hurt badly.  But, they are going for it, which is something.  Sadly, there are quite of few who simply can't play, they come from wealthy families and still end up as the last players on the bench at an ACC school.  The good ones can simply get out there and play...it's up to them if they want to be good enough to keep going...it has nothing to do with any club, any coach or any parent.  Never has never will.[/quote]
