2A/1A Public schools competing against private schools = inequality. Why? Money and location. It takes a lot of money to play club soccer and private schools are full of kids who can afford it. These so called “privileged kids” have the bucks to play with the best clubs, who generate enough revenue to hire the best coaches, who get to participate in the best out of state club tournaments, who during the summer go to the best soccer camps. Not only that but the location of BE, CC, and SSC, are all within a few miles of the Elite clubs of SC. Public 2A/1A schools are not located in Greenville and Charleston and do not have easy access to clubs like CESA. It is absolutely absurd that SCHSL makes our smallest public schools compete against this.
