Several observations with respect to questions/issues raised in various preceeding posts:
  • I think that both CSC and NECSA had one state championship team in 2005: CSC's U13B team and NECSA's U18B team.
  • It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for CSC to hire a DOC while it was engaged in merger discussions.
  • I don't believe that either CSC or NECSA has at this time full-time administrators or DOC's.
  • The bylaws of a club typically define whether the membership of a club gets to vote on a merger. If the bylaws do not mandate it, then it's up to the boards of the respective clubs as to whether they want to offer their membership a chance to vote. I don't know whether CSC's or NECSA's bylaws mandate this or whether the boards want to offer a chance to vote.
  • I've heard that CESA has a boys team in which most/all of the players are from Columbia this spring; I've been told that once again there will be Columbia training offered in the spring but don't know any more details of when it will start.
