>>[Chapindad] Some of BC's best players play for or played for CSC or NECSA, so I am having a hard time giving CRSA all the credit for BC's success.<<

Who the heck took over Chapindad's account? Who is this? The last time I saw, Chapindad was making selected hit and runs onto this message board but never answering any questions. Dude...is that really you? Are things so lonely over there? [Just kidding -- great to see ya! [Smile] ]

In any case, once again you're using the strawman fallacy...attributing a position to me that I never took. I never said "all" of anyone's success was attributable to a single entity. You actually quoted what I did say "...with CRSA's help..."

But to get to the meat of your contention, I contend that CRSA does more than any other Columbia club to target kids who normally wouldn't play soccer. The Heise's have posted a bit on what they've done as have others. This builds the foundation needed for other clubs to pick up those kids who through some combination of talent and training are able to take their game to the challenge and premier level. Perhaps you could post a refutation to this contention giving as examples club-wide programs that target underserved kids that other clubs are have.
