[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Achilles has some good players. 
Parents will always take kids there because of location and MLS next badge

Its the coaches that are bad why these good players are getting blown out every weekend [/quote]

Why do you think MLS Next expanded their age groups?  Would love to hear your opinion.[/quote]

Tell us what took them so long to get all age groups into MLS Next.  Would love to hear your opinion.[/quote]

Independent parent here.  I am at a club founded around the same time as Achilles, circa 2016-17.  Our club is not sniffing MLS Next yet Achilles is there with clubs that have been around pre-2000.  You just have your facts wrong.

My kid is currently looking at Potomac, Achilles and Bethesda for his first major move from a small club.  We saw all of them in our age group this weekend aa they were all at the Soccerplex at the same time. Achilles had 2 standout players out of the top 5 from all 4 teams.

The other players that scored and dominated are just growth and age-based.  That fizzles out in 11v11.

We are leaning towards Bethesda but this anti-Achilles is remedial parenting at best.  FYI, the coach was a church mouse for Achilles which did surprise me given the rhetoric.  Get out of your ivory towers if you serious about your kids development and see who is actually developing.

Final note:  professional scouts watch how your child reacts when losing.  Achilles was playing a level up and getting crushed.  No blaming, no head down.  So many of these front running kids on winning teams would have wilted.  That is character.[/quote]
