Subject: Which MD club should a beginner in travel soccer start with? BSC, SAC, or PPA?

PPA is less established but the experience will vary depending on the coach. They have a general policy of starting all new-to-the-club players on their lower teams, but the upside is that they are on the lookout for standouts as they year progresses- so the top coaches are actually paying some attention to the lower level teams. But it can also suck if you get a weak coach.
I have no SAC experience.
Also- go with what is convenient!
Thank you very much for the information! It’s very helpful!
I would also look at Potomac Soccer.

Does anyone happen to know the lowest-level teams of these clubs? Which one does the best job of improving young players' skills?
