Or maybe Christi is in favor of Bridge, but because she's the Director of Soccer at MPSC she has to be the one to state the club's position against Bridge. Who else is going to do that? The town of Mt. Pleasant? The Booster Club? No, she's the one who has to stick her neck out for her club whether she want to or not.
Unfortunately, there are others out there who are trying their best to make sure Bridge doesn't succeed - in one case, a parent telling a player not to tryout for the Bridge since it "doesn't make sense" to do so.
After the result of both state cups (fall and spring), there is no doubt that a club like Bridge is a must in the lowcountry. Bridge is doing nothing to individual clubs - clubs will still have rec and classic teams. If I understand it correctly, being part of the alliance also means that Bridge will share their coaching staff with alliance member clubs. It's a win-win situation if you are interested in forming highly competitive teams and having excellent training for all your players. It seems to me that by MPSC not joining the alliance it may be forcing some of their better coaches to make a decision between MP and Bridge. But MPSC has already stated their position clearly. Is there time for their new DOC to change the club's direction?
