Quote: I really do not believe that coaches are in this strictly to make a buck..With the hours spent and games on the weekend and the smoothing of egos..They don't really make alot..I think they enjoyed the game enough to where they want to coach and if they can make some money at it to..then it's a win/win..I just do not believe that players or teams are put in the correct leagues based on their development..Will this enhance their development? Doubt it. It just leads to frustration on everyone's part and with eight clubs in a thirty five mile radius the chances of putting players where they belong are slim to none. What other part of the state has eight clubs in such close proximity? None..I also think that parents would come to realize that it might be a tough pill to swallow but if their kids where not playing UP all the time..they might enjoy the game alot more
Club density in the Low Country isn't remotely close to what we have here in the Fort mill area. With a population far smaller than yours...we have at least 4 SC clubs (Discoveries, Carolina Select, Lancaster, Upper Palmetto) not to mention the behemoth that is Charlotte soccer in our backyard. There are a ton of York county kids playing at Steele Creek, Charlotte United, Charlotte Soccer Club, South Charlotte....as well as a handful of kids playing at the USSF Academy and a bunch driving to Greenville to play at CESA.
