Playing at what level Chief?

This is a dumb thread. There is no correlation whatsoever between name and level of play.

Clubs typically name their teams based on their own hierarchy. WHether the top team is "Premier",or "Elite", or "Gold" or "Green"or "Blue".....is absolutely irrelevant.

It is simply a means of designating/separating "A" teams from "B" teams.

And while we're on the subject of misleading names and marketing manipulation.......how dare the folks at Bridge and CUFC name their new joint venture "South Carolina United".

Jeez.......how presumptious!!!!!

tongue in cheek......



I just want to point out once again that the purpose of the thread was to determine what league the two teams from Bridge would be playing in. The only reason the team names were brought into the conversation was to discuss if the names gave clarity as to whether or not the teams were playing in Challenge or Classic.

I heard they were playing the Premier team in Challenge and the Challenge team in Classic. I think it is understandable that this could be confusing to some people. Plus, since it was a rumor, I thought I would try and find out if the rumor was true or simply a rumor that was not true. No eveil intent, just asking for clarification.

The original post asked where the teams would be playing. A parent from the Premier teams was kind enough to answer and he indicated that both teams would play in the Challenge league this fall.

That was really and end to the information requested.

I know I got caught offering my opinion on naming, but it is just that, my opinion. Doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong, just stating my viewpoint.

Anyway, now that the question was answered (and I realize that things can always change - it's the nature of youth soccer) I imagine we can move on.

Thanks for everyone input.
