Greenville NewsWhen CESA was formed a few years ago, there was a debate on this message board about large youth soccer clubs causing a decrease in the growth of youth soccer. If I remember correctly, the upstate was showing the most growth of any SCYSA "district" in the last numbers I saw. Here's to hoping that CUFC breaks 5000 soon! [Note: I honestly hope that they do -- we need more youth soccer players in this state.] [Note: In another thread, some were talking about the lack of newspaper coverage of youth soccer in "The State." Notice the associated stories at the front of the article and the picture galleries. Pretty good...]

Youth soccer coverage is non-existent in "The State". I can't remember much even in the "neighbors" section.
From what I have seen in the Greenville News they do a good job covering Cesa in particular. I'm sure the press coverage helps in getting the word out to families with aspiring young players.
Does anybody know if the Post and Courier in Charleston gives much coverage?

Shibumi? Is that what Mick Jagger says, after the chorus, in the Rolling Stones hit "Shattered"?
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Hurst, Its 'Im a shattered'.......I guess its the proper British way to say one is 'shattered'.
Shattered, shattered Love and hope and sex and dreams Are still surviving on the street Look at me, Im in tatters! Im a shattered Shattered
soccer 63, To read 'The State' you would not have a clue that youth soccer existed in the midlands.

Has CESA gone from a bit fewer than 3000 registered players to more than 4000 in one year? Or does that 4000 figure include all of kids registered at different Up-State clubs that compete in the CESA Developmental League?
(The Developmental League is a great program that provides a place for teams from smaller clubs to compete against a broader range of competition than would otherwise be possible)

2004striker/Hurst66: I meant it only as a reference to the Japanese. I actually applied for the name 渋み (this looks better in the original character set); but was refused by moderators of the message board...I can't imagine why! HappyDaddy: I don't know; just posted the article. My guess would be that they're including the kids registered in the developmental league which are therefore "registered" into CESA -- but I understand the differentiation you're driving at. I'd note something -- CESA is a bit more of an "open" club with respect to other clubs in the area than the traditional "mega-club." By this I mean that they have in the past and are currently pretty proud to be an "open" club where they allow other kids to train (even if you aren't a member of CESA) and where they allow other clubs to register in the developmental league and use CESA resources. There are other clubs like this -- CRSA comes to mind.

I have always been impressed by the contact with the high schools and innovative and "come one, come all" approach. I'm in the midlands now and I miss 'em a little!
