2004,Shearer, and Chico
For those of you who love to denigrate the CSC club that many of us call home--I would have to respectfully disagree. We DO love competitive soccer (as opposed to "social" soccer)that you CSC haters love to throw our way. Our teams have been as successful as any teams in the state, (especially the midlands) in the last year with CESA being the exception (no different than the rest of the state). In the Challenge league this past fall, many of the CSC teams represented the club quite well with first place finishes for the 18 Boys, 17 Boys, 17 Girls and the 15 Girls--the State Cup will determine if those teams are for real.
In regards to playing up at CSC, many players play "up" at our club with "Board approval" only needed for players who desire to play up TWO years--I would guess this is done to protect the players in regard to size.
In regards to Eddie, we all will miss him terribly--he is a great coach and his passion for the game is an example we all should strive to copy. I am sure CSC will do all they can to fill his position with the most qualified person who fits their needs. The Board will not look for a "Yes Man" as our drunken friend Shearer would suggest, but a person to build upon the foundation that Eddie and club have built in the previous years.
As a parent at CSC (the determination of "Big Time" will have to made by someone else), I am more than pleased to have my children trained/coached by the great staff at CSC--I could drive my children two hours in either direction but I choose to "stay home" and have my children exposed to excellent soccer and coaching in my own back yard.
