Everyone eligible needs to go vote this weekend.

They are talking big time merger on the North Carolina boards as well. The two Charlotte heavyweights are about to go to the altar.

CSC - CUFC - too much smoke, gotta be on fire - team speculation??

OK........I am hearing so many rumors that this is a done deal. Rumors from parents of both clubs, coaches from CSC, and even coaches from outside those clubs. I believe an announcement is imminent.

Assuming they merge before tryouts, how do you think they'll configure the teams in the Fall? coaches?

Anyone familiar with this large a merger? How did CESA do it? USA/MSC? Do they leave older teams alone and merge the younger kids?

My older daughter will care, my young son couldn't care less.......

It looks like when all the merger mania is through we will all have to play a regional schedule. More traveling....yikes.

Hurst666...How did CESA do it...

If you are just refering to tryouts and team formation then this is how it happened from a parents perspective...

They held tryouts...just with more kids. Because of the number of kids they were able to form multiple teams in some age groups...Premier/Challenge/Classic (and in some age groups multiple Classic teams)

Some kids that didn't get placed where they wanted to be either took it as a challenge and worked hard to move up or they left the club for other options.

Not sure if this answers your question.

What time do both clubs vote today?

Does anyone know the outcome of the "BIG" votes today in Columbia?

To All CSC and NECSA Families:

The Board of Directors of our respective clubs are pleased to announce the results of today's vote on merger. At NECSA, the merger was approved by 86% of the members who voted. At CSC, the merger was approved by 91% of the members who voted. All that was required to approve the merger was 67%. As such, our two clubs have affirmatively voted in favor of merger. To all who took the time to come out an vote, thank you.
