SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP How many super clubs in SC?

On the R3PL thread, Hurst posed the question as to how many "Bridge's and CESA's" can be developed in SC before they start diluting. Rather than cloud that thread I figure we can row that boat as its own topic.

My opinion, right now.....the best we can do is 3. CESA and Bridge.....plus I think the infrastructure and player pool is there in Columbia with CUFC that they could be a third really soon. Maybe this year, maybe next.

I think thats about it and I think the state is big enough to support 3 Premier level Clubs.

Now, if the goal is to develop teams that play for national championships that you probably need just 1. But is that the goal?

IMHO...at least several more if the clubs get serious about promoting and developing youth soccer and start reaching out to all those kids who've never heard of "offside" -- let alone the names of any clubs in South Carolina. And another thing...I think...(pause)

I'm sorry, Mr. Police Officer. Yes, I'll stop saying the same thing over and over, get down from my soapbox, and just move along. Sorry for the trouble I caused. Have a nice day!

"OK Chico.....show's over......move it along now".
