Soccerdude � I�m honestly confused. Please help me understand.
I understood the goals of CSC and NECSA as you stated it and it makes sense; they want to be at minimum a state soccer power. Great! So we can judge them on their overall standings in the state.
As you described CRSA I understand it to be a farm and training system for the BC and Dreher players. Okay�I guess I can kind of understand that.
But what completely has me baffled is your description of the goals of the 4 clubs in Lexington. You state
>>The mission of the girls and boys club has been to service the Lexington area players that want to advance in soccer.<<
The trouble here is that this goal is so ambiguous that I can�t figure out what it means. Does this mean that Lexington clubs should be judged on the transition of Lexington recreation players to internal Lexington classic players? That makes some sense. But what of the two Lexington classic clubs? Are they judged by how many players move from Lexington to CSC/NECSA � since CSC/NECSA are the clubs that are �biggest and baddest? Of course, it could mean the Lexington players that move to GFC, St. Giles, or other �biggest and baddest� clubs as well.
Or is the Lexington goal include all of that and also include trying to be competitive at a state, regional, and national level so as to support those players capable and desirous of doing so? If so, then how does the Lexington goal differ from the CSC and NECSA goal?
I�m not trying to dismiss what you�re saying � because I think that there is something truly wonderful in the concept of clubs having goals. If each club in the Columbia area truly has a specific goal/mission that Columbia-area soccer will be much better. The trouble I have is when these soccer clubs have such ambiguous missions that no one can really tell what the mission is � and of course can�t tell if the club is succeeding or failing in its mission.
So could you please explain in more detail the Lexington mission or missions, and how we can judge the success or failure of the clubs in Lexington?
