I am not a CESA lover by any means, but, they created the enviornment they have. If, you stay up on this blog, you see that people love them, hate them, envy them -- the whole range.
They have been succesful to the point there is not real local competition. If there was enough of the bad stuff, then, there would be some real local competition. USA and CFC were only a short drive down the road. USA wanting to be all inclusive and nice to everyone and CFC wanting to be elite (big fish, in a small pond). If there were enough haters those two groups would have grown like wild fire. We had some kids come from Greenville not liking the CESA machine. A few. Us being USA. If I look at the CFC challenge teams, several are competing with 13 players, today. I do not see a big migration that way either. Nor do I see that as very smart (13 players), but that is just me.
My simple conclusion is - that some folks are not happy so they want to complain, some drink the kool aid by the gallon, or have a tap at home. Either view is not the average CESA experince. Reality is somewhere in the middle. Always is. Always will be. The average CESA parent is not on here...
To me it is simple if you do not like the product do not buy it. Each parent makes that decision every year. It is sad people have such buyers regret after years, and years of making their own minds up.
