cid,

This has nothing to do with Charlotte United teams. There are no CUFC Gold teams that are made up of primarily SC kids. Gold teams typically pull from the entire Charlotte metro area.....a normal Gold team would have 1-3 SC kids on the roster. In weird, rare cases....maybe 1-2 more.

To re-state, there will be no CUFC Gold teams rolling into SC to try to win state championships.

This has to do with Carolina Select teams, whose kids will now be rolling into CUFC at the Palisades, which is geographically contiguous to SC/Tega Cay. Those kids will now form teams and play in NC as CUFC Palisades teams. As those teams hit U13 a decision will be made as to whether or not they can successfully compete as a top 2-3 team in SC with the CESA's and Bridge's and Mount Pleasant's and Columbia United's.

When you hit a team that can do so.....and if it meets the 50-50 rule in SC....they will slide back to CSSC and compete in SC. Otherwise they'll stay in NC and play at a lower level with a lot less travel and headache.
