You know, I haven't heard their spiel so I don't know what their plan is. I would think they would be a bigger threat to the YC clubs in terms of challenging them for u9-12 teams than they would CESA.
Its ludicrous to me to even consider these guys challenging CESA or SC United or someone like that anytime soon.
They are good coaches with somewhat of a following. If they have a line on money and can afford to build a couple of fields over the next year or 2....or get access to new fields not yet build but planning on being built in the next year or 2. And if they are patient and build from the bottom up....maybe in 5 years they could threaten to become consistently competitive on a statewide basis.
It will be interesting. Both Rob and Vic are used to coaching teams on the cusp of Region 3 quality. I don't believe they will have that option for awhile. I think they'll have new young teams.....and older, less successful teams. I also think they'll struggle to have that.
But this is the funny season in greater Charlotte...and one never knows what might happen. Discoveries has a solid boys program.....but girls teams have never really taken off. Back in the day with Northside there was a steady stream of solid girls teams.....most of those girls play in NC now. Or CESA. Maybe their plan is to build a niche with girls teams?
