The one thing that has us leaning towards concorde is the
Premier u-10 8v8 division. Most u-10 teams will be looking forward to the fall to prepare for u-11.

Unless you can rope a couple of the Charlotte u-10 gold teams into coming. My girls enjoyed playing the Lake Norman Tornadoes last spring.

Luna - I take it you don't support the small sided philosophy endorsed by almost every governing body out there!

I support it.... We have been playing u-9/10 since we were 8

6 seasons of 6v6.... It is time to get ready for 8v8

Remember, we are a small club. The players that I have are all I have. We are fortunate for our results. As the bigger clubs start to consolidate teams, we have to stay a step ahead.

My goal is to develop players on James Island for the long term. Yes I receive calls from parents and coaches telling me about a child they have that would be perfect for our team, yes I am often told that our team can't be rec!
Yes we are....... I will put my $100 per season girls up against any u-10G team from anywhere. You do not have to pay $500.00 for quality fun soccer.

Since this team came out of Micro at u-8, my roster has never changed. Why? because soccer is fun.
We average 24-27 games per season... that's over 50 a year.
People have to understand that learning to play together is more important than just throwing the best players on a team and calling them Elite or Academy. (maybe that is just how I see it)

Luna - Not sure what you are trying to say with "... that's over 50 a year." But, you do realize that most professionals dont play that many games in a year?

We will play 24-27 games in the spring and the same for the fall.

That is a 12 game league schedule
and 3 tournaments. (we often manage to play 4 games:)

This year Spring 09, we are only looking at a tournament schedule.
James Island Jan
Matthews or concord (Feb)
Columbia St. Pats
Piggly Wiggly
State Cup
Bridge FA.
That is 24 possible games on just 6 weekends 3 in town!

Just this morning, they told me they are going to play in a 3v3 tournament in Dec..... with our without their dear old coach.
We are the exception, not the rule.

Would love to have 3 of those games in Matthews. I am sure we can find you some good competition. We actually had a team named the Lunachicks a few years ago. They still use that name for their indoor team.

MUFC - - Back on subject... thanks
We are having our season ending party this Saturday. Parents will help me with the schedule then.

Luna - One more question:

State Cup? There is a State Cup for U10's in SC?
