Could you rephrase the question? I'm not sure what you are asking. Not a question more of an observation that we sometimes "force" our children to play for "A" instead of "B" because of name and we shell out major bucks and the coaching is not up to par in some cases. Just saying to take a look at this as well when choosing where to play.

Especially on the girls side. The 92 and 93 teams are the current state champions and will be competing at premier levels for years to come. What club can attract these players back. NONE! Especially in the lowcountry. If you are looking for the best option for you kids? Trying looking for the direction the trainers will be going. At the challenge level, no other club really offers a "true" competitive option. Not SSC, MPSC, CUSC(if it still exist), Blue Crab(Daniel Island Soccer) or any others. I agree with coldhardtruth. Do what's best for your kid and be satisfied with progress they make. I agree. BFA has done the best job at the challenge level in the lowcountry. HOWEVER..... BFA HAS NO FIELDS OF ITS OWN. What will BFA do if not associated with SSC? The players currently have the use of SSC and JIYSA and even then, sometimes all they get is a sideline to practice in. Or if they are lucky, they have a coach that has access to another field. Maybe we need to quit looking for clubs to merge and BFA should secure its own facilities.

I have no idea how the $ works, but I would guess BFA pays SSC and JIYSA for the use of their fields???? If so, maybe that $ is better spent to own than rent? If you own your own fields, you are not at the mercy of other area clubs and their field owners. MPSC has town ties and it is unlikely the Town of Mt P would pull fields from them. Just a thought.

They have managed to go from parades, group hugs, and "national championships" to nearing a total collapse. so what was the academy for them - bankruptcy? And just what has cufc accomplished that csc / necsa didn't? i will give you more of a presence in the premier league, quantitatively. i'll even give you the post-academy premier league title. anything else?

The arguement about hurting ticket sales really doesn't hold water. Fields are the most important element of all. Coaches with no where to practice are a waste.
