PLAYER EXPECTATIONS

Bethesda soccer is a competitive, full season sport, and we expect a full season commitment. For that reason, while we understand that some conflicts arise that are unexpected and unavoidable, we expect players to attend all practices and all games and play for the full season. Poor attendance may result in reduced playing time for your child and could also effect their individual soccer development. Other complementary sports are okay to play, however, players are expected to attend all matches and tourna- ments. Most training sessions will take place in and around lower Montgomery County; however, there may be additional opportunities to practice on high quality fields outside of the immedi- ate Bethesda/Potomac/Rockville area.
