Bethesda Internationals

7 Mar. '04. Twenty U12B teams were accepted to compete in their first-time MD State Cup Play, and the random drawing/bracketing held today gave Inter a 'bye' in the 1st Knockout Round game to be held on 3 Apr. Inter will play the winner of the 1st Knockout game between FESC Excel Rangers and Freedom SC Fantoms in the 2nd Round of 16 game on 24 Apr.

5 Mar. '04. After participating in several tryout sessions for the 91/U13 Olympic Development Program (ODP) team during the past couple of months, two Inter players, Pablo C. and Skylar O., were selected today for a spot on this year's roster/squad. The ODP team will be practicing and competing primarily during the upcoming summer months, and a training trip to Scotland will be held during the week of 5th April. Congratulations to Pablo and Skylar for a job well done!

6 Feb. 2003. Inter has been accepted into the prestigious Jefferson Cup for the 3rd year. After winning the Premier Division championship last year, Inter has been placed up in the middle/Elite Division this year and is seeded in the same Group with our NCSL D1 friends/foes, REST FC '91, and opposite to our other NCSL D1 friends/foes, Premier AC Sharks (formerly ABGC Sharks): Group 1 Group 3 Charlotte United FC (NC) 91 Carolina Goldstar Select (NC) Bethesda Thunder (MD) Beadling SC (PA-W) Juventus USA (MA) Richmond Strikers Orange (VA) Group 2 Group 4 Concorde Clash (DE) Norcross Fury Gold (GA) FC Pride 92 Metros Premier (IN) Reston FC 91 (VA) Premier AC Sharks (VA) Inter Bethesda (MD) Inter's roster had some changes to it after the fall 2003 season, losing 3 players -- but added 3 talented and skillful players, Carsten G., Efi H., and Mario T. Thus, Inter is looking forward to the challenge of competing successfully at the Jefferson Cup, MSC March Madness, MD State Cup and the NCSL spring 2003 season ahead.

24 Jan. 2004. After finishing the fall 2003 season in D1 with a mirror record of the spring 2003 season in D1, 2-5-2, Inter kept its conditioning fresh by participating in the U12-U13 Premier division of Session I during 15 Nov. 2003 through 24 Jan. 2004. Playing against the excellent U13/D1 Calverton Cougars and our U12/D1 friends/foes, MSC United (AC Milan) and ABGC MT Sharks -- as well as the U12/D2 Potomac Cougars and U13/D6 SSA United, Inter managed one win and a tie (both against ABGC MT Sharks), while dropping 6 matches to the formidable AC Milan (2), strong Calverton Cougars (1), pesky Potomac Cougars (1), and tough SSA United (2). But, the main thrust of the indoor sessions is to let the boys play and have fun while keeping in shape and sharpening their skills.

9 Jan. 2004. Inter players commenced Winter Skills training with coach Mehlert's American Soccer Academy to sharpen and improve its soccer skills and maintain top conditioning level in preparation for the upcoming NCSL spring 2004 season, as well as several spring tournaments (Jefferson Cup and MSC March Madness) and MD State Cup Play. The 8 week session is being held at Sidwell Friends School each Friday evening through 27 Feb. 2004.
