Media Toolkit

Welcome to the Bethesda SC Media Toolkit page! Bethesda SC is proud to use our social media and marketing tools to help show all of the great achievements that our players make, both on and off of the pitch. We are very fortunate to have some incredible student-athletes who are making positive contributions to both their teams and our world.

Our club firmly believes in the positive impact that soccer can have a on player, a team, and a community and so it is our mission to use our various platforms to help promote the positive impact that our players, our coaches, our staff and our club are having on the world around them. Oh, and occasionally a few positive results too 🙂
