sbs:
From what I gather, it seems to me that kids in the Midlands need to look no further than Lexington, Congaree and CESA-Columbia. It's more than a mere thought, but actuality, that a player can get comparable if not better training at some of those listed clubs above.
The Piedmont district saw gains in their membership b/c of the leadership and direction taken by the clubs there within. Those clubs tend to be more inclusive, especially CESA. They (CESA) recognize the importance of each level and pay professional detail and attention to those, thus the noticed increase in #'s. IMO they're in the process of making that happen with the staff and program of their CESA-Cola branch. Possibly, you'll see an influx in the number of players (especially girls) choosing that club as a viable option for development this fall or spring even?
