[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here - looking for thoughts on Bethesda Soccer vs. PPA vs. MSI Classic for a U9/U10 girl with reasonably good skills and a lot of passion for the game?[/quote]
Has your DD had any formal coaching? [/quote]

Bethesda has the best program and training, then PPA.  MSI Classic is only loosely organized by MSI - you have to pass a not very hard skills test to be eligible for a Classic team.  But then you have to either form your own classic team or try individually for other teams.  The process for getting on a classic team is a major PIA because it is not coordinated.  Classic teams find their own coach - either a parent or a paid coach that the team hires.  So the coaching can be very, very good or not so good.  It just depends.  Same for cost of classic - if you have a parent volunteer coach, cost will be pretty low (but you often get what you pay for).  The level of play on classic teams also varies widely - is it mostly friends or a former rec team that wants to stay together or is it team formed through talent?  If you go the classic route, you should interview whoever is running each of the teams you try out for to understand its individual approach.  [/quote]

Agree with all of this. You nailed the description of MSI Classic![/quote]
