Ok.
1. The usamp field situation doesn’t help the cbsc teams that didn’t move forward this year, but clearly neither does having fields on Daniel Island, SSC, Shipyard or the soccer dome (or whatever they call it now),,,,, ironically the only people I ever hear discuss usamps fields on this board or in the community are CBSC parents. Kind of like when gps first came to the area,,, the SSC people were quick to point out gps had to lease fields... over and over and over again.
2. The usamp director is a decent guy, pretty well liked, but if he had the power to persuade clubs in the Greenville and Spartanburg and Beaufort and Myrtle beach and Augusta and Columbia to form a league so that some 2nd graders in Charleston couldn’t play against other 2nd graders,,,, then he needs to get out of the youth soccer business and head to state house... we have some roads to fix.
3. No, I guess clearly #individualdevelopment does not lead to team success.

*USA/MP may have had their top teams outside of the state leagues (i.e. NPL), if so, they would likely be better reflected here. I do not know if the same is true for any other clubs.
Looks to me like CBSC overall did fairly well, particularly relative to your club and they have only been in existence for one year. Of course it is a moot point as GPS will not play in any of these leagues next year, and will instead go to a leagues that is club placed instead of one that is performance based.
