I do not understand this anymore ( maybe I should give up)

There are 60 club/leagues affiliated with SCYSA in this state.

On October 18, 2009 SCYSA reported 11508 players registered with SCYSA CLICK HERE .

I think we would all agree that until recently this was the controlling entity, so again we would all agree that the number of players is somewhat fixed. Of this number 4854 players are considered classic (42%) and therefore the higher spending player. Of this number probably about 20% -1000 (my guess) would be considered elite players

You now have SCunitedA, SC united FC, SCUMP, RUSH and the grandaddy of them all CESA vying for "control". Yet the number of players is basically fixed and throw in the middle size clubs SC Bulls, LCSC, CFC, etc.

How in the world is anyone actually making money? Are the fees getting ready to go through the roof? Is the old cash cow, the 58% that play rec able to sustain this proliferation without repercussions?

When SCUMP was created... nothing changed, the coaches are still the same are the fees going up? what is the member getting for the money that is different?

I think we are reaching the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.



If you look at the make up of the state you will only see DSC in the Rock Hill area of SC. Girls are going to Charlotte and Greenville to play.Rock Hill has 60 thousand people in the city limits and many more people in the county and only one soccer club.Sounds like a good set up for the one club to be massive and make money but its not.RH does have an awsome complex in a great location.If they can pull from Charlotte this could turn out to be a big club in years to come.
