Low Country maybe you should be happy you don't have consolidation. If you consolidate you'll see the cost of your child playing youth soccer sky rocket. I talked to a friend who's child is playing for a big club in the upstate. She said the parents up there are praying for another club in that part of the state. She also said the parents have no say in travel costs,uniforms, how many leagues they play in. It sounds like their getting things rammed down their throat. 2 or 3 clubs in an area will keep the price down. Colleges will find your child if their good enough. Hope what's happening in the upstate doesn't happen here in the midlands.
