Quote: There's nothing particularly better or worse about Lowcountry soccer than that of any other region in the state. Bottom line: The clubs are in it for $$$, not kids; many parents think their kids are great because that's what club coaches have said while recruiting them; and those same kids have wildly inflated egos. (And that ain't sour grapes, because mine has played at every competitive level available, staying loyal to one club through thick and thin, while others have bounced around like rubber balls.)
Congratulations to you for staying with one Club and being loyal to it.
These players and families that leave a Club after many years (I will assume most families and players start their soccer careers at their local Club) are teaching their kids one lesson I do not think they realize. "It's all about me".
They turn their backs on their former teammates to go play for another Club, most times in another city.
Of course those that leave their hometown Club do get to enjoy a lot of Interstate time. Wow, that must be fun.
