[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a U13 boy. He is not going to make 1st team on any club but probably 2nd team. We're trying out at Potomac, Achilles, and Stoddard right now. I heard that the quality of play drops after the first team, but are the coaches still good and do the kids develop and have fun?

I have heard the same and witnessed the same. Despite what clubs say about development, they can’t seem to help but tie their self-worth to the first team and often start to neglect the other teams. There is such a need for a club that can cultivate 2nd teams. Not everyone can play on the first teams at present, but this is it not to say that they can’t a year or two on. [/quote]

Love this, hope some clubs/coaches are reading it. Happened at Achilles despite promises to the contrary, happens at BSC too. One of the head guys at Bethesda actually told parents after a tryout that the green team is for kids that play soccer as their second sport or who aren’t committed. He then said those kids would skip a game for a family function or something like that. Incredible. [/quote]

Some of the BSC coaches really have a petty mindset. [/quote]
