I don't pay for anything extra, so i'm not sure what you are talking about.


You're not paying the "I get to tell people my kid plays for Bethesda" monthly fee? I'm getting ripped off

Maybe Loudoun does too and perhaps they just want to cover everything, even the players that just do it recreationally but on a 'travel team'.


Wait, Loudoun is a much bigger club than Bethesda in terms of number of teams per age group?
Never heard the word small used to describe BSC in any category for this region.


When compared to Loudoun, most clubs are considered "small".

If so, then they can keep girls in ECNL.
If not, then they are forced to move to GA


How are they forced to GA?


ECNL bundles their boys & girls teams. If boys don’t have their top team in ECNL, then the girls side can’t have ECNL.
wow Bethesda says otherwise


Bethesda is a solid soccer club all around...comparing their situation with ECNL/MLS Next to Loudoun is laughable at best.


What's the objective definition of "solid" in this case?
Why isn't Loudoun solid in comparison?


Solid is a pretty objective statement and would differ based off the bias of the person sharing that opinion (the 2009 and 2007 NVA girls in 1st place probably have a different experience and opinion about NVA then the 2009 and 2007 Boys that are in 10th). Comparing Bethesda to NVA is a matter of personal preference - it would be like saying pepperoni pizza is better than cheese pizza because at the end of the day pizza is delicious and now I'm hungry

If VRSC receives MLS Next, that will shift some Loudoun players.
