I'm familiar with the Region 3 Premier League, but I don't think their is a state premier league in South Carolina. It goes "classic", then "challenge". Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Good group of girls......great group of parents. Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I guess my comment would be this - do they have a better chance to win the NC 1st division or the SC challenge? if the answer is the SC challenge, don't you have to go there simply to get into RP3?

Hurst66 world cup Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 5,659 Tega Cay, SC	The team is currently known as CUFC '91 Emerald (although I am fond of the Koala name). I'm not sure how high up the totem pole they finished before they moved north. I know they won a "classic" state cup in South Carolina and historically had pretty good matches against the Aiken Heat, Orange Crush and NECSA (prior to the Columbia United merger). What are they looking for now? Probably competitive league games and some exposure through tournaments. I don't think they are too concerned with Region 3 Premier or some of these girls would have tried out for Charlotte Soccer Club, CESA or Columbia United. I think playing competitive matches, getting better, and having fun are the prime objectives. 75% of the team is comprised of South Carolina residents, if these girls do want to play in college, perhaps playing in the South Carolina Challenge League would give them more exposure to in-state college coaches. But most of the teams in North Carolina Division 1 West are in the Charlotte area and they provide very good competition. Pros and cons each way but I would guess they stay in North Carolina. Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

It is Idol night tonight and I'm going to stinking tryouts. My vote for Emerald is for NC D1. 1/2 of our games at Ramblewood.....vs. most of our games at either metro Columbia or Greenville. Now, if SC let us play 1/2 our games at Manchester with the balance going to Charleston or Columbia or wherever I'd be cool with that. But to be always going to BB&T or Lexington is boring. I'd rather go to Patriots POint to play 2....
