2011 boys team in the 6th division of EDP. How is that good?

This is the answer. Great for younger kids for development. Coaches besides your specific team coach get to know most of the kids because it is a smaller club. However, the can’t compete with bigger area clubs that play in leagues that provide a recruiting platform.

Well... no one seems to stay with PAC. There has to be a reason for that. #1 I've heard is concern with recruiting/college.

They play in the EDP for 2011. The majority of the win at all costs parents have kids wasting away on the benches of MLS Next and ECNL teams in these age groups. The “horror” of my kid only playing in “that league at that age.”

I am not a parent of the club but this appears to be a club built on development of players (GASP), and not one that gives parents letterman’s jackets with patches for the tournaments the kids won. Take your negativity to one of the many SYC, DCU or Bethesda threads where you argue score lines of 14 year old kids.

My kid was with coach Suli (not to be confused with his uncle Sully) and he is amazing. He isn’t so warm and fuzzy, but my kid loves him and he really did a great job taking the players to a high level.

My kid does private training with Suli. Amazing teacher of fundamentals.
