What is the cost?

last year you got lunch and a pull over and i think it was only 35$. im not sure if the price will change this year.

The registration form says $50...still a steal

it was well worth the money.many coaches were on hand.

Why does CESA have this in-house "college" event but not consistently send their teams to the country's top events, where players are truly seen by more then just local SC schools? This is a recruiting tool, just like their friendly match arrangement with ODP during tryout time in May. What caused the $15 increase?

If CESA were truly about player development, especially in terms of college exposure, they would sacrifice a few State Cups for ONE year and attend Raleigh for the welfare of U15-U18 female players looking to secure their FOUR years of college.

i think we had this argument before.

You're right, all clubs should get their kids to Raleigh, not just CESA and SCYSA is equally to blame for not scheduling better. It's easy to look ahead and do so.

Now, list the 20 schools that attended....enough said....they're schools that could see the players anytime. The Q&A? It should happen much earlier if U16s-U18s are listening. If you want to go to school in SC, then go to the CESA combine.

But, if want to expand horizons for college, it is an absolute no brainer. And, there are WELL MORE then 100 schools at Raleigh. The final 2006 list had over 200 schools for the Women's weekend.

Instead of attacking a club for trying to do more for the players of South Carolina..I challenge other clubs to do these kind of events..not just for their players but for any player that wants to attend..We do not play for CESA but have taken advantage of these events that they offer and have been very pleased...Anyone else out there interested in helping not just the players in YOUR club but all players in the State? Oh Yeah, the combine last year had players from Alabama and Tennessee attend..The bottom line? Stop attacking the ones you don't like for doing the right thing
