Florida gets more holdovers than their team success, talent, etc. would dictate. The Florida teams in most region III premiere league play are ok, yet they are getting tons of holdovers. There is no way the talent on the teams from SC, NC, GA is below that of Florida or they would be getiing better results in league play. Florida knows how to work the system effectively to get the holdovers-congrats to them. If holdovers is the goal, SC would need to work the system better to produce those results. There are a lot of players being held over for reasons other than performance in the games and in the training and SC could do a better behind the scenes job in this regard(though I'm not sure Florida is going to give away any secrets on how to do this effectvey)



firsttouch,
what does the sc staff need to do behind the scenes to get more sc players held over? do we talk the region staff into keeping more sc players? why? do they push all sc players or just a few.
it does not matter what a team does in region III play.this is odp and you have to stand out. florida is a big state and has a bigger pool of players and not all of them play on the two fla region III teams which has been better at this age than the sc teams.
why would the region staff want players that did not earn it in games and in training? why would they not take players that did earn it?
i do not like the thought of working the system.politics and working the system should be left to club soccer.
