I am a little confused. You really only have 2 coaches with the CESA-Columbia group; Eddie and Chris. All the others listed are just names to put on the site. So comparing the 2 Coaches from CESA-Columbia to the 32 at CUFC is just not working. And finding fields and coaches in Columbia is always a problem, which will happen if CESA-Columbia grows to just 5-6 teams.
As far as CESA in the upstate. They have some great coaches but I do believe the leadership of Andrew is what has made CESA the powerhouse. I may not always agree on his tactics but I have always admired his vision and ability to execute that vision. None of the coaches or parents really question Andrew and he isn't afraid to to say bye to a coach or group of parents that are causing problems. The greatest strength at CESA and St. Giles before that was that they could have 2 quality teams at any level and train them both as the Elite team. This allowed the players to learn with a greater group and with better competition during the training. Trying to get 2 quality teams together is tough in the Midlands because parents will pull their kid from Soccer all together if their child is not on the Elite team. This attitude in Columbia has really hurt the Midland's soccer clubs. CUFC has done a good job in changing this attitude but it will take a few more years.
Congrats to Coach P and his season this spring!
Here I go again!

Will there be a U18 team? If so, where are the players coming from that will make up this team?

I don't know what "Coach P"'s team accomplished this spring -- maybe someone could start a thread and discuss it for ignorant folks like me!

You're right, you are confused as you don't know what you're talking about. And who is Coach P?

If I understand this correctly...CESA-Columbia is a training site for players in the area that play for CESA..
You can not compare a club to a training site for players

I don't think so.
CESA-Asheville is a training site.
CESA-Rock Hill is a training site.
CESA-Charleston is a training site.
CESA-Columbia is a club.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I stand corrected....I thought the move to Columbia as a club got squashed by the SCYSA..
Thanks for the info

I guess I must read between the lines to understand exactly why I am wrong. Maybe you can explain to me where I am in error. I have no problem admitting and correcting my beliefs when I am in error. I find the best way to grow is to be able to listen and understand other points of views and not just my own.
