[quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in to say agree with others statements on the club experience is very different depending on if your kid is on the top 2 teams or not. If they aren’t, you will likely get “the luck of the draw” on coaching and practice times. BSC has their nice new training facility and has their club infrastructure more organized than other clubs but 1) the training facility is in Gaithersburg NOT Bethesda and 2) poor coaching on the lower teams same as any club. I too was blown away by the way BSC conducted tryouts but it’s very coach dependent once you’re “in.” We moved clubs for better coaching and to learn “the Bethesda way” they tout but were sorely disappointed. Research the coach and level thoroughly before accepting. And believe me - it could still change anyway which is what happened in our case. Also, BSC is one of the only clubs not switching their lower teams to school year and staying with birth year in 2016-2017. A big disadvantage for kids with later birth months. Having endured two kids (two genders) in travel soccer the last 6 years across 3 clubs…. I’m a bit disillusioned. It takes a lot of trial and error and luck to find the right fit. And even then - it could all change.[/quote]
