SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP NC/SC Merger

And I guess what I'm saying is that none of the CUFC classic or Premier teams have remotely close to 50% SC kids, other than those teams that play at Palisades.

The 91 girls (CUFC Emerald).....this is the group with all the Clover girls, as well as Nation Ford girls, Fort Mill girls, and from NC....Olympic, Weddington, and South Meck girls. Team has been promoted to 1st division in NC classic play and is unlikely to move to SC.

I guess my question then would be, "can they win the NC state cup and become a premier team?" If they can, then stay. If they don't know, come to SC and win state cup and become premier.

By the way, how many team are they going to be able to come up with? It doesn't seem by the websites that Palisades or CSSC have alot of teams.

it is more of a trade then a merger.seems they are trading age groups. you are right,neither has more than a few teams and neither has more than 1 team that could even come close to winning a state cup in nc or sc.i think with the merger/trade they are hoping to grow so all that can change.

That's a negative Bones......Emerald is playing NCYSA D1 in the Fall. My guess is that this Alliance will only produce one new team for the Fall....and that's a new '93 Elite boys team for Carolina Select, to compliment the existing team. There will also be a sprinkling of additional players brought it to spice up current teams.

94 CUFC Silver is a very good boys team that will likely move to SC in a year and become 94 Elite.

I think this will be an incremental process.....

Interesting BD. I would have thought, with the infusion of talent coming to Emerald from Div 1 and Premier, that they would have been ripe for a move. CUFC already has Green and Black playing Div 1 this coming year. The 3 Div 1 teams will spend time beating up on each other? I'm not an expert, but that doesn't necessarily seem like the best way to go.

Daddy,

If this U-17 Girls team doesn't play in South Carolina (and I'm not necessarily advocating that they should), paint me a scenario in which a CSSC/CUFC-Palisades girls team would EVER play in South Carolina?

Daddy,

I agree with what they are both saying. It would be in the best interest of these girls to play in SC, win state cup and become a premier level team. The website says that any team that is top 3 will move to SC. That way they can win and become premier (which would be great for those kids). Is there some sort of negative feeling toward SC or CSSC? That would be the only reason not to go to SC!!!

All right, then! It's settled! Let's have a vote. All in favor?

*Chuckle* Of course, these decisions are never made this way, but it's fun to debate

cid & mccoy,

I never said these girls belong playing in South Carolina.

My question to Daddy is: give me an example when one of these teams should?
