Just sent to CBSC families:
To Our Players and Families,
As some of you may have heard, we’ve been working very hard over the last few months to bring the Lowcountry soccer community together. We believe in creating and supporting an environment where the contributions and input of each individual club is valued equally, and where clubs work together to provide the best possible soccer opportunities for our players. We are extremely excited to announce that we will be joining forces with James Island Youth Soccer Club and GPS Charleston to create a soccer alliance between our organizations. We are still developing all the details of how this alliance will work and will pass that information on as it’s available. At a minimum, we will partner with each other on leagues, tournaments and events, facilitate play opportunities between our teams, share learning and best practices between our coaches, and above all else, commit to always do what’s best for our players and families. The alliance will be open to all local clubs committed (in principle and in action) to these tenets, and will work diligently to identify and pursue new ways for our organizations to partner with and support each other.
We’ve also been communicating closely with the Battery and the Fleet, and in line with the push to bring youth clubs together and not have pro club relationships exclusive to one single club, we will be changing the name of CBSC to Charleston Soccer Club. We will still maintain great relationships with the Battery and Fleet, your club fees will still include player admission to the Battery and Fleet home games, and members of the pro organizations will still continue to be part of our coaching staff. This change in branding does not change any of our values, programming, staff, facilities, sponsor relationships, or operations.
There is a lot going on in Charleston area youth soccer right now, and we are very excited to be a part of it! As a reminder to all of us, this is why we do what we do. It’s why we started the club three years ago, what we firmly believe today, and what we will carry with us into the future.
