Well said Patriot. With all the CESA U18 dirty laundary that has been posted and not to scare away any new members, I'd like to give some positive things. Gdawgs is not 100% right on the scholarships. There are several girls on the team who have fully recouped their cost at CESA on scholarships and the coaches were helpful in the process, you just had to ask. CESA has held college showcases open to all SC athletes in hopes of bringing visibility to SC. CESA just had a team training camp for four days at the cost of a mere $100 with college coaches from Florida State, Furman, Wofford, Clemson, etc. doing training sessions giving premier players down to classic players exposure to college soccer. CESA has developed some top notch playing fields at two locations which are a credit to Greenville and helps bring money into the area with being able to host some big tournaments. CESA brought in the National Mexican team last year and the South Korean national team which provided exposure to the kids they likely would have never gotten without the contacts/relations of the club. They do a drive to collect and send different items like old cleats to underprivledge areas. Soccer training fees scholarships are available to not only premier players but classic players. They bring an experienced medical trainer to tournaments to insure proper care of their athletes. Their athletes/teams are starting to get recognition on a national scale. So like every club there are negatives but there are also a lot of positives which don't seem to make the forums.
