Shearer,
I can't really address any of your questions, cause I ain't involved. I am only good at stirring up trouble and having wild dreams. I cannot predict how all levels will be organized, but I am mainly interested, and can only speak on, the mechanics employed to attain the highest level in the respective age groups. One quality result I hope to see from this would be that there would be one high level team per age group that can be successful on a regional/national basis. As far as travel, after you established your select team (that will be composed of players from upstate, Cola. and possibly the Aiken to Sumter corridor and maybe some from lowcountry to have a true statewide select team); you could have full team practices/training in Cola. once a week, and then in the respective Greenville/Columbia areas the rest of the week. It will probably not be a best of Greenville-area CESA select team v. best of Cola. area CESA select team. To be successful on a regional/national basis, it will have to be one select statewide team per age group.
