[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington, McLean, Springfield and Bethesda - none of these clubs develop players. They all recruit natural talent. If someone better comes along you get bumped.

PPs are correct, focus is usually on the top teams. You are wasting your money for second team down at most clubs.* If your kid is placed on a second team, have them start training on their own and look for first team placement at a different club next season. I have very very rarely seen a second team player move to first team within the same club.

*Anything under second team should be playing rec. Why people pay thousands of dollars for 3rd and 4th teams is unexplainable. [/quote]

[b]McLean and Bethesda both develop plenty of excellent players that have been with the club from 6 years old all the way through[/b]...if someone comes along that is better than your kid at the try outs they should not take them?  "They all recruit natural talent"...what does this even mean?[/quote]

LOL. I can tell you actually believe this.

They recruit natural talent meaning the kids come to these clubs with natural soccer IQ or in some cases been developed by other clubs and they've come to MYS and Bethesda looking for ECNL competition. MYS was recently threatened with getting booted from ECNL for terrible performance so who do you think they are developing?

So the kids that are with these clubs from 6 years old all the way through and then go on to have college careers and pro careers don't count?  Yes they add players developed elsewhere and build better teams, but McLean and Bethesda have developed plenty of amazing players and still do.
