Bethesda is moving some highly skilled kids up and will attract top talent no matter what- their bench is pretty deep. They don’t move kids up or in without merit.
Bethesda was a power house for a very, very long time. But face it, Bethesda is quickly heading down the McLean route.

Then why have Alexandria and Achilles FC both been ranked considerably higher all season than Bethesda in U13 QoP, and why is Alexandria ranked higher in U14 QoP?

Couldn’t help yourself with that dig, huh? That says all u need to know BSC parents and the mentality they unfortunately pass on to their kids.

Is this just a day dream from ECNL dad? What on earth are you rambling about?
Most of the 2013 Coppermine kids and their coach are going to Pipeline. They are ranked #6 in the USA if you believe the Soccer Rankings app, so yeah, I would rank them higher than any other 2013 team for next year. Next are MLSN teams: SYC, Bethesda, Armour, NVA. And Arlington from ECNL.

#6 in the USA....
spoken like a true DCUMer...
A 2013 ECNL RL team #6 in the nation bested by PA Classics pre-MLSNext. Loloolololol.
Thanks for the laugh.

Why are they leaving? I thought that team had been together for a while.
I heard their coach isn't staying with that specific team. The new NVA coach has lots of connections with local players because of futsal.
Doesn't Bethesda rotate coaches annually? Seems like fake news.
Supposed to be no more than two years, but some parents, shall we say, are persuasive.
