[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard about the '08 b team, too.  I thought a couple of parents wanted to start a team that "put winning first."

I would love to find a travel club in Maryland that made training fun.  Any suggestions?[/quote]

Are you folks referring to BSC 2008 U11 Girls Team?[/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

Interesting. I thought that BSC is all about winning and joining competive leagues. I’ve only met a few BSC parents, but they seem so proud to be part of BSC. Their 2008G A Team is playing in EDP, while their B & C Teams are playing in OBSL. Maybe the B & C parents think their kids should play in a higher league??[/quote]

Not in that age group but know the situation. It’s more like the A team parents put up with stuff because their kids are on the A team. It happens at a lot of clubs. Some Blue team players are actively looking for a new club and many were hoping for a coaching changing that did not come. The B team lost like 8 of 12 girls?(end of season) and the A lost 3 over the season. The practices for the 2008g are joyless, lack play(ie risk taking), lots of yelling, dumbed down terminology(not even soccer terminology) and in general not fun. It does not seem age appropriate when compared to other clubs. At that age how long do girls keep playing if it is not enjoyable? This is why BSC has a reputation of burning kids out. In general, the people who left were looking for a positive training environment, more team play(ie passing), communication vs individual play. It’s a bad cultural and it’s not going to change. If it’s the only thing you know, you stay.

Over all the team does not have the athleticism and skill of the bigger clubs in the area from top to bottom. Objectively, there are 3-4 girls on the A team who could make the first team at the larger clubs in the area. The others would be second or third team depending on the club. They just do not have the player depth. The BSC 2008g went scoreless in Richmond...so we will see how they do in the EDP. Though they say they do not try to win at that age except for tournaments.

BSC is a really big club on the boys side but the girls side is like a very small club and lacks the numbers. Maybe they will be able to recruit a few more players, but GDA is starting to pick up speed in the 2007’s and below. [/quote]
