It's crazy that an all-star games has kids in which "many of whom will never play a minute of college soccer." Either South Carolina clubs aint getting it done producing female players or kids are just tired of soccer that much. I'm guessing the former......but folks will profess the latter.



It really appears to be both. SC Clubs are for the most part (especially on the girls side) not producing any big time college players, but also, I have seen over the past few years many very good players either stop playing Club altogether (or many that want to) and I am talking about Premier, Challenge and Classic players. The usual reason- tired of the travel and every weekend games.

A good case in point- CESA 92, had barely enough to field a U18 team this season. Lost basically the entire Challenge team (from U17-U18) and quite a few Premier players.
