This is why D.C. United and Major League Soccer get a bad rap. From their pipeline? We must have been imagining that Kristian played with us from 7 years old to 16. Maybe they meant Bethesda’s pipeline but got confused?

What’s the fee per year in the USA to sign a player from another club? $10K, $15K? We will check out PO Box for our $70,000 development fee. We’re positive it will be there by weeks end.

If D.C. United is fabricating that they developed Kristian Fletcher then who else on their homegrown list was actually developed by another club? Kristian played 0 minutes for their academy. Not a single minute. Maybe Wayne Rooney was developed by them too?

Congratulations to Kristian Fletcher for signing his first professional contract. All the hard work and dedication to your craft has paid off. Go show them what you’ve got.

Good week for our U17 @mlsnext team. Adios national champs. 📸 @usyouthsoccercentral

It's our weekly coast-to-coast. This time from the U12s in the Bethesda Premier Cup. Slicing and dicing through the defenders to score the lone goal in a 1-0 win to win their group.

Congrats to Aidan Rocha on being drafted be DC United in the 3rd round of the Major League Soccer draft. #MLSSuperDraft mlssoccer.com/superdraft/202…

Switchbacks FC get $ D.C. United gets $ FC Cincinnati gets a player. Bethesda Soccer Club gets a 👏. How does DCU get money for doing absolutely nothing in a player’s development? You have to give it to U.S. Soccer. They really know how to incentivize developing talent.

You’re welcome. DCU could make a business purely out of collecting money from our development of players.

Brilliant passing and patient build-up play. Amazing team goal by our 2011 ECNL 1 team!

Honey Stinger waffles are the way to go! What a great collaboration. Players have loved the pre-workout waffles so far! It’s a quick bite before you ball out.
