I am not a BSC parent nor fan of the club but recognize that a draw or one goal loss against PDA is not the end of the world especially when PDA has been riding roughshod over other strong opponents. The only other team to score more than a goal against PDA 05 in the last 24 months is Barcelona's development team. Get serious people. PDA, Solar, SoCal Blues, San Diego Surf, Eclipse, Tophat, etc., are stronger clubs. Most ECNL/GA conferences have a dominant team. Solar's U18/19 team has basically outscored its opponents 100 to 2 against strong competition. If this area could consolidate several clubs under one roof, you would see the type of dominance demonstrated by PDA.

I am sure a bunch of Bethesda hating parents posting here. You are one of them. FYI, no Bethesda girls coaches are posting DCUM. That's absolutely ridiculous. Also, Bethesda has not been able to complete many games due to Montgomery County's excessive restrictions. Hard to make playoffs when you can't play games.
The 06s just tied the previous ECNL National Champions over weekend. Perhaps if Bethesda was in the Mid-Atlantic Conference, all of its teams would make it...I'm sure the 06 VDA team would agree. Loudoun 08s recently lost to Bethesda 08s at Jeff Cup. Mclean 08s are even worse. Toss up between Bethesda and Mclean 07s. The 05s are better than McLean. 04s would not make the playoffs if in Mid Atlantic. Nobody cares about Composite.
Now if you are a GA parent, well, you're a GA parent and have no future unless you play for FCV. If you're outside of GA, you really shouldn't even posting on this matter.
Your “facts” are not facts. A little reassessment is needed. Maybe a lot on a few points
Please enlighten me then Mclean or GA genius! PDA 06s are also rated the #1 team in the United States. Bethesda tied them. I don't see any thing I posted as being wrong. Some things may be a an assumption but not off-base.

This isnt a bsc specific issue. There is not one dominant club in the area for girls hence teams will vary widely by year. Bsc 06s great, 07s not. Fine but you can plug in diiferent clubs and age groups into that previous sentence and it is the same across the region. This board sometimes exists largely for parents to tell each other how great their club is and how awful others are. Thats because you get varying talent year by year. Ecnl starts at u13. Five years of it. I say bsc has the best 06 team in the area. They dont at other age groups. You know what, no other club has more than one or two of the best teams in the dmv over these 5 ecnl years either.

Just my guesses from a fairly well informed bsc parent. It is all age group dependent and depends on the skill of the kids not coaches
And this is exactly the problem. BSC teams at the older ages are vey strong 903 excepted and before KL) The 07s are not great now but maybe will improve same thing for the 08s. Where or what age are you judging success? To be fair the 06 team is a different type of team. But maybe the 07s and 08s will catch up

Bethesda will be just fine. Granted, there is a lot of animosity against a couple of select coaches. But as long as they win, which they generally will, then they will be fine. Let’s see what happens over the next 3 months. There’s a ton of soccer to play.

Exactly. And they’re cramming in a bunch of games from
Now until June. Bethesda doesn’t have to worry about not making playoffs- lots of games left and a loss or tie to PDA isn’t a worry.
The above poster is just a Bethesda hater- probably fcv or McLean parent who thinks they are the best no matter what.

The 05 and 06 teams are very competitive with PDA while the other age groups are not as competitive with PDA but will compete for a playoff spot.
But Kev, again, not a S-I-N-G-L-E goal scored all weekend by any BSC ECNL team - 07, 06, 05, 03, Composite. How is that even possible? PDA defense across all age groups are that good, or is BSC offense that bad?
Yet most bsc teams won their divisions at Jeff cup, and will most likely finish close in standings at end of ecnl season.
PDA is that good.

Not Kevin or any coach, but Bethesda 05s scored. And PDA is that good. So far this year:
PDA 07s have scored 60 goals and conceded 4 in 11 games. Last ECNL season they scored 50 and conceded 4. Bethesda 07 scored 2 of those 4.
PDA 06s scored 11 and conceded 0. Last ECNL season they scored 35 and conceded 4. Bethesda 06 scored 3 of those 4.
PDA 05s scored 19 and conceded 2. Bethesda scored 1 of those 2.
I could go on, but you get the point. PDA is dominant.

That’s a dominant club.
Bethesda girls teams just can’t compete against a club at that level. No shame in that.
One exception is the Bethesda 06 girls team. After winning Jeff Cup with impressive wins over World Class, VDA and FCV, they followed it up with a tie against PDA 06. Bethesda 06s may be the real deal nationally.
100% Correct. Imagine if the DMV had one dominant club where the best girls always went...
PDA sucks up NYC, and Northern Jersey. Also many players even drive from Connecticut and NW PA. It’s player pool is more than any club in our are can imagine.
Also should mention the top 2008 girl moved to PDA top team last year. I would say that is a compliment to Bethesda.
How is that a compliment to Bethesda?
