That is simply not true. Performance is trying the get a foothold in this market, but it was nowhere near that low for tryouts.

Bethesda does some good things, but it is a rec program. Nearly all the coaches are dads with good intentions, but not qualified to coach top level players. Madlax, VLC and Blackwolf are much better options if you can make their teams.


Note that VLC and Blackwolf are Norther VA based teams, though - they do not have a MD presence, just in case you all are looking for something in MD vice VA.


That is true, but it's not like driving out to Montana. Both clubs have a lot of MD players on their teams, especially Blackwolf. Several players in this area also make the trek to play for the Crabs as well.


Completely agree - my son is one of them! Some folks do not choose to spend hours in the car though, so wanted to mention that since it seemed like the OP was more focused on MD based clubs.
