Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned.

"SC Youth Soccer is excited to unveil the proposal from SC United Futbol Club for their new United Development League (UDL). This new venture is being considered for approval for Spring 2020 by SC Youth Soccer to replace the Sandlapper League in the Midstate. All matches will be set for the Columbia area."

Looks like a replacement for the Sandlapper that will be bouyed by SCUFC teams. Not sure of the proposal status, but looks like a win for kids and families in the Midlands.

Does anyone know if a similar development league is planned in the Upstate? That would make sense with Coastal Player DL and United DL already up and running

I believe a similar league lead/run by CESA exists in the upstate, and has for some time.
