[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethesda is a travesty. They do not develop talent from the inside. Your child will go there to Wither on the vine. They know that they can get the best talent from elsewhere at any moment and don’t develop their own players. They don’t inspire allegiance in the players who played for them, and you can see that in the players from other teams that go pro!!!! Those players LOVE their club but bethesda is a transaction, a business. If they loved the game they would develop their talent from within!!! The club has a potential to be great and our DS was lucky to be moved up this year, but too many other great players have to go elsewhere because they are bringing in kids from the outside.  Bethesda needs a revolution!!! Keep your talent and develop it, the kids will love you forever and you will win real silverware!!! [/quote]

Agree. I've seen so many families be overjoyed to hear their child was 'scouted and recruited' at ages u8,u9,u10 u11,u12 to join a Bethesda team. These families leave the 1st or 2nd team of their current club to join the 2nd 3rd or 4th team of Bethesda and are truly happy with the idea because of the name and associating the club with winning and high level of play. The club now disguises tiers to keep parents happy by having 'two top teams' to avoid calling teams 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier. The goal is to monopolize the market, recruit as many of the talented players as possible, with more waiting to join each year. So never truly invested in developing, as mostly recruiting/ replacing players yearly to win tournaments that helps marketing the badge for more to join. Development takes time and often isnt pretty, but families dont have the patience or awareness to recognize what a good environment is for a child to improve. Not as simple as 'iron sharpens iron.'[/quote]

They really do have a 1a and 1b team. They all train together. Bethesda would be such stronger if they picked the best 11 and called it a day. [/quote]

Yes, agree and the problem is that in my opinion they lie to the parents about it – they tell each of the parents their kid is on the top team, and by the end of everything the parents find out they left their team teams second team for Bethesda third or fourth. It’s not fair to the parents or to the kids to play these kind of games. Just be honest about where the kids fall on the hierarchy. Hint: there’s ALWAYS a hierarchy. [/quote]
