DD's friend is on Churchill JV and I asked this question. The answer was yes--mostly from Bethesda but some from Potomac and elsewhere. But this is just a kid reporting informally. I don't know if it's 100% true. I do know, though, that it is very tough to make the soccer team.

Thank You!

FC Bordeaux is a better place for development. Bethesda is for kids who can play at any club in the area, which means that your kid can play on the top team. If not, go else whereas the training is not great below the A team.

Yes, that's right, any kid can make the Boys' DA team or Girls ECNL teams. This is one of the dumbest posts ever...

Does Bethesda cost more than the others?

Can anyone comment on where all the above discussed teams practice?

Ummmm, How about Bethesda?

Gary Burke is the 09 Girls’ coach at Bethesda. He is terrific and is also an import from Europe. The top team is not that good but it will get weeded out over the next couple years. Just a lot of parents who are paying for a baby sitter rather than soccer training now...a good time to get in and get your kid established at an early age. If you don’t mind the extra drive, look at either Maryland United or FCV depending where you are in MoCo.

Which Classic team? Is the coach known to react negatively to players leaving to pursue other options?

Rush has different options but the 06 MRM Coyotes team is one of the strongest in the country and will only take the best of the best. I don't have a daughter on the team but have watched them play countless times. I know the coaches are always seeking out new talent so I am not discouraging I am just saying it would be tough coming from Classic. There is no B team. I wish you the best of luck. There are so many great options for our girls in this area and I know you will find the best place for your family.
