I agree, more is better. They (NC) were better prepared than we were, I understood they had trained more as a unit etc. I simply state why buy fields when many exist in Columbia already. Use the funds SCYSA has to get SC up a notch, say fund the difference for the better/more training or fund a huge free scholarship fund, or have it all free. I just think state assocation owned fields will not get our kids up a notch. More money, more training, more practice as a unit works. The coaches should be paid on par with the other states, we should expect the same level and number of training sessions, in return. The sessions I saw were professional, maybe just too few of them.

South Cal ODP has a system where they try and scout kids out for their very successful ODP process, and have an extensive process where kids can be nominated. Two things I do not think we have.



i can agree with what you are saying.some good points.i think we can allagree that the words training and too few has alot to do with the state of sc odp.i do notthink it is a lackof want from the coaches butido thinkthat is where we get into the money and time issue.

this question is kind of going in a different direction but..
do you think in sc that club affiliation has anything to do with making the sc team?
