What better way is there to check out the level of play other than going to see a game or two when the academy is playing in town? There is only one USSDA Academy in South Carolina which makes it a unique opportunity for those aspiring to play soccer at the academy level.This is really quite different from just playing on a regular club team.

Would the thousand monkeys with their thousand typewriters fit on the head of a pin while producing the combined works of Shakespeare and asking rhetorical questions? Give it a rest. curmudgeon[ker-muhj-uhn] Noun: a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person.

You've been around long enough to know that this is just curmudgeon pre-season. Wait until HS soccer starts...that's when the curmudgeoning actually means something.

Here's to another great season of curmudgeon-watching on the boards! I've got good news and bad news...

Those wins mean something on a regional and possibly national scene. Sad that soccer fans aren't realizing this. Only when soccer is played on american football fields do the boards light up

Not too many folks get "warm & fuzzy" about club soccer. Probably because many of the parents have become rather tired and jaded over the years. I was at the Discoveries tournament at Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill this past weekend. It was a classic-level tournament. The most spectator passion exhibited was by the parents of Strikers of Gaston County Soccer Association (SGCSA). Teams from this little club won the U-16 Girls and U-13 Boys bracket championships. The parents were going nuts! Honking air horns, ringing cow bells, chanting the team name! When was the last time you saw something like this at a R3PL or Academy match? It would probably be considered "immature behavior". Point being, IMO, passion for club exists at the younger and lower levels. Passion for high school seems to exist all the way up the line. Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
