No joke. No one was watching.

What 3 age groups are you referring to?

I can speak for the last years 2011, 2010, and 2009. They were not all at the same fields. There was no rhyme or reason for the groupings. Literally the worst kids on some of the teams, who didnt even get an offer for this year, were moved to first team scrimmage based on one move. The girls working their tails off had no one watching. And the wrong coaches for the first night were sent to the wrong teams. It was a mess. It was very different from, say, PPA. That was all scrimmages and the coaches had clipboards and ran up and down noting every play. It was super organized. The players had eyes on them at all times.

Saw the same last year at their younger age tryouts too - 2015 and younger

2015's? You obviously was not there. There was a coach at every field sometimes 2 coaches. Coaches had clipboards, rosters and they rotated fields and players moved up and down the tiered fields. Lots of kids and difficult to stand out, but to say there was not a coach on the field is absolutely not true.

I was and I did see coaches, but didn't see any clipboards... the tryout players didnt have any identifying marks...

The coaches for the 2015 tryouts were there were clipboards and had lists of all the players trying out. The identifying marks were the players themselves (what they were wearing etc). The coach would ask each player that was not apart of the club their name and mark them on the clipboard prior to tryouts. There was a minimum of 1 coach on each field. There was never a field without a coach evaluating. There were 4 fields (tiered) and every player was randomly put on each field. After 6 minutes 2 players would move up and 2 would move down. Cream rose to the top and the ones not so much went down. No coach stayed on the same field and rotated as well so they could see everyone. The only complaint that could be made was the large amount of girls trying out and being difficult to stand out in such an environment. But overall, 4 new players made the 1st team, 3 or 4 to the second, more on the 3rd and 4th teams. My daughter was their trying out and did get identified fortunately and offered a spot, so obviously we came to the club. Space was crowded but there was definitely a buzz with all those players.

bench players yes lots of bench players

Not true. They subbed at Jeff Cup. I watched two games. Multiple subs. Now with a roster that big, yeah it’s a challenge… but the 2010 NL is one deep bench. They are all stellar players.

BSC does not do it that way. Only the starting 11 gets showcased. The Bethesda way.

Inflated club. Nothing special.

That typically means they are solid with the group they have internally and may only need 1-3 kids who really pop. They will approach those kids during the tryout, ask their name and update it in their phone. This procedure is not exclusive to BSC.

Do you research before you think of trying out at BSC. No one wants to hear complaints about how you don't like some way that they play or sub players, etc. after you decided to sign up.

Ditto this. BSC is not for everyone.

Also, they moved it up responding to the marketplace. Last year I believe it was in April.

North Atlantic vs Mid Atlantic (different HS seasons as well). Most NA teams are just starting U littles tryouts now with older kids in the next couple of weeks.

Not true. BSC coaches have developed her and she is fast tracked by inner circle connections and ownership friends.

If this is the player on DC Power didn't see much in the game I watched to be honest. After the hype I was expecting quite a bit more.

I can tell you that this is why we are leaving BSC after several years. They are reading their headlines a bit too much and they believe they are alpha and omega.

slow claps??
