In the last few weeks I've noticed that CESA has been publicizing a lot of tournament accomplishments for its U14 and under teams.

Question: Has the club always done this well in the younger age brackets and just had an inability to market themselves out of a wet paper bag? Or are these kind of results new and CESA becoming increasingly regionally competitive?

I honestly don't know -- I tend to keep up more with U15+ age brackets.

Chico,

I'm not that close to the issue so here's my view from approximately 100 miles away. As for being regionally competitive at the under U15 age groups, I would say the CESA U-14 girls aren't while the U-13 girls are and the U-13 boys aren't while the U-14 boys are. Of course this depends on your definition of "regionally competitive" (versus regionally dominant).

CESA's U12 boys are arguably the top team at age in the southeast.

What is "regionally competitive"? Is it.....similar to my description of the U12 boys? If so, then the U13 boys from CESA aren't regionally competitive. Does it mean....that the boys can step on the field with any CASL or Greensboro or Concorde Fire or Little Brazil and go toe to toe with them? If it is....then they ARE regionally competitive.
