The only reason to stay with Bethesda (or any other very large club) on a third team is:

a) it's close to your house
b) your kid's friends are on that team

If you have any interest in improving their soccer skills, get off a lower-ranked, lower appreciated team on a big club and try somewhere where you'll get more personalized attention.

It makes sense to have Matt Ney be in charge of the older boys' program. I'll be curious to see how Layton works out. He seems to be a deeply polarizing figure, but he obviously has had a number of successful teams.


so far so good. the players really like him and the parents as well. hopefully greene and layton working together will make good things happen for those girls.

Ive always thought that of the northern virginia clubs...so....


It's a regional issue (DC area), not a state issue, and it is not confined to soccer or even sports. This is precisely what I would expect to see here, and in Boston, and in New York, and in SFO, and any other area with insanely ambitious parents getting their kids started up the greasy pole. In other areas, particularly the southeast, it is more of a sports-focused mania -- Pop Warner and Little League in particular, and classic small-town bragging rights over who is a pitching ace or QB1. Just my opinion -- others I am sure will have their own.


Totally agree, and the prevalence of wealthy and successful parents plays a huge part. On a related note, I am a lawyer and hate that so many lawyer parents in the DC area act as if they are determined to live down to the worst stereotypes about the profession.

At least the boy's side has some accomplishments. Girl's side has issues which are being addressed.
