Chuck where do you derive your confidence from the above statement? Surely not bc USAMP plays well with others. The active lobbying against other clubs is USAMPs bread and butter.
It would be great if the other coastal clubs said enough is enough. As CASC, GPS, JIYSC, CBSC have found out through experience. The back stabbing and lobbying against clubs won't end unless they stand up to it.
That’s the thing though, when it comes to not playing well with others, all of the local clubs save for Cainhoy play these little games with each other. It’s been said on this forum that a group of CPL teams got together to block CBSC from entry into the CPL but as David has attested to, there were never intentions of allowing additional teams into the league and the only changes that were made were some promotion/relegations of teams already in CPL. Prior to this CPL league being formed,, SSC folks would remove any gps tryout signs posted anywhere near SSC “turf”lol. Additionally, any time the elite program was soliciting players, SSC and USA players were threatened. Short story long, all clubs are competing for business, these clubs need customers and on the girls side, the club with the best exposure opportunity is going to get that business. I’m telling you though, if you believe one single club prevented a GPS umbrella club from playing in a US Club sanctioned league, you aren’t seeing how important big GPS is to Charleston headquartered US Club Soccer.
