SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer Can any school match Mauldin's number of premier players

Would be a mistake to over look them! There are some very good players who do not play premier for reasons other than skill. A team of nothing but challenge (or NC classic) club players from one end of the bench to the other will be a challenge for a program with a few premier players and a mix of non club/ club players. Depth is an issue that can be coached against. Still a few great players can push a team by making everyone around them look better. There is also somthing to be said for the effect of practicing every day with players who test your skills.

This is from the SCYSA manual:
League: Region III Premier League
If you are a SC Youth Soccer Publix Challenge Cup 1st or 2nd Place Winner, then you will be asked to play in the Region III
Premier League. If 1st or 2nd place decline the opportunity, then the 3rd place team in the Publix Challenge Cup will be asked
to play. If your team finished or is declared a 1st or 2nd place finish in the previous years Premier league then you will be
asked to play in the Region III Premier League, if this opportunity arises, then 3rd place team in the Publix Challenge Cup
will be asked to play.

All teams have to applied to the Premier League.

How SC picks the R3P teams is Up to SCYSA. In real terms every state gets two spots, but technically they all have to apply to the league.

In a nut shell, .........Yes, depends on the player. The idea that started this thread is quite out of line with good sportsmanship.

Mauldin has many great players! Fort Mill does, too! NC Region III, NC Premier and Classic (which is higher than Challenge in NC)league players are on it. No offense to SC, but, the NC teams do dominate the SC Region III teams. There is a lot of skill and talent in York County...just making sure this isn't being overlooked

I don't think anyone is overlooking the skill and talent of the players from York County including those that play for Fort Mill (I'm sure Mauldin won't be). There are many fine players in York County. But I didn't know that many were playing for CASL.

Unfortunately, I probably won't get to watch that many Fort Mill games this year (maybe at Viking Cup). However, I will look forward to watching all those from SC playing NC club ball in Baton Rouge this summer at the Southern Regionals along with all those Premier League players from Mauldin and other HS teams around SC.

Is Mauldin now an Academy? Are they recruiting?

Many of these Challenge players would be (or were) Premier players if CESA didn't have so many out-of-town players.
