If you look back on this thread the point I initially made was that CESA won 9 and not 4 state cups. The question you asked was what was significant about U13 and I gave you one example. The other post I put on here recently was about Matt Brophy going to SCU. You then said I fell and bumped my head.Is this hammering people?

The fact of the matter is that you do not like CESA. You'll play innocent but with each post you take some kind of swat at the club, just like this rhtoric. If the most successful club in the history of South Carolina wants to do things this way then they have the right.

I'm not sure what this is about. Every other club in South Carolina puts U13's in state cup. The decision was made years ago by USYSA to not have 11 aside cup games and move them back to U13. Everyone does this, not just CESA.

I guess that means you have questions about CESA not putting their academy teams in these younger events. I think you answered the question - those are key developmemtal years where results don't matter. At some point results do matter and U13 is where the country begins. I can't answer anything else. Go ask ask Bridge, South Carolna United, MPSC, CASL,Texans, etc why they do it this way. Maybe they can give you better answers. That's all I can tell you.
