Up here in York County, where most of the girls are playing club soccer in North Carolina, there have been many upsets in the NCYSA State Cup. Semi-finals were yesterday, finals are today.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
Has the President's Medal Cup always used a round robin format, as opposed to a lose and you're out format like they use for the Challenge Cup? There was one case today where two undefeated teams tied their game and one was eliminated because the other team had scored more goals in the previous games. Doesn't seem like the best way to determine a champion.
Great job by Carolina FC and the SCYSA tournament committee on the organization, great fields, and superb weather this weekend in Greenville/Spartanburg! Job well done!
I was looking over the list of champions and to my surprise I found no CESA teams..There were a couple of finalists..Does this strike anyone else as odd? Should not the talent pool trickle down into the classic level? Maybe I am missing something but it strikes me as unusual..
They always show well at the highest level..They dominate Challenge and seem to be a non factor at Classic? I would think the talent pool would trickle down to the classic level. I am not beating anyone up here..I have always supported CESA on this message board but it looks as if the emphasis is on one group of players.Are not the next level of challenge players going to come thru the classic program?
