CESA u13 playing the CRSA u13 this weekend, these two met in Knoxville this year with CRSA winning a tough match. Should be a good match.
LCSC Lexington Lightning vs Columbia United FC U13 Girls Elite, these two matches could produce a new leader in this division to date.

Nothing more riveting than U13 girls soccer.

gotta start somewhere

The CESA /CRSA game has been rescheduled for a date in November.

Congratulations to Bridge FA Gold U-13 Girls on their seeding in the CASL Shootout. Excellent competition. Good luck in the Champion B bracket.

CUFC did not field an elite U-13 team because there were no elite players in the club at that age. The team's results prove that was a wise decision. They have struggled mightily at the challenge level. Imagine the pounding they would take in an elite league.

"Completely ignorant question: how is the decision make not to field an elite team at a specific age group within CUFC? I would have thought that with the theory of pushing teams into more challenging competition [i.e., the discussion previously concerning season-to-date results] that the most competitive U13 team would be elite. "

Thanks...a few more questions, trying to understand philosophy...

Wouldn't an "Elite" U13 team play in the same South Carolina Challenge League in which a "Challenge" team would play? How would that be different? Or are you referring to the tournaments which CUFC "Elite" versus "Challenge" teams enter?

I'm not saying anyone made the wrong decision...I'm sure the folks at CUFC know better than anyone what they should have done. From the CUFC web site, here's the passage concerning team creation/selection that has me a bit confused:

In that regard, the Club's two Directors of Soccer and their Select Coaching Staff will select the players they need to field the most competitive team in each age group and place them on a corresponding Elite team. Next, they will select players they need to field the next most competitive team in that same age group and place them on the Challenge team.
