WOW! My first post and I struck a nerve...
Belligerent,
I really do not see where volunteering had anything to do with this topic.I do feel the need to reply since my character is in question..My children have been at SSC for six years and I did not push them out the car for practice and take off.I have been there for field day.I have opened and closed the club on gameday.I helped out at the labor day tournaments and worked in the concession stand.I dumped garbage cans during the week for two seasons with Bill.
And I still check by and close the gate and cut off the lights that are left on at 10pm so I think I qualify as volunteer.I now drive around 160 miles a week for my daughter to play soccer so volunteering is tougher.
I have been to board meetings with other parents to discuss the girls program with no resolution.
The girls program could not afford to give up players to the Bridge.The numbers were not there.
Besides,if I am going to practice in Mt Pleasant on a Bridge team.I might as well play for Mt Pleasant.You are right...the decisions being made at the club are volunteers.Parents that are influenced by a paid employee with their own agenda to serve.Not all...but enough to swing the vote.Tell me how SSC has prospered from this Bridge program?
I can see the affects it has had on the girls program.How about Classic play?The Bridge pulled up playmakers on the classic teams so they can ride the pine on a challenge team.Why two teams in one age group?Take the best eighteen!!
Why does SSC have to wait till after the Bridge tryouts?Players are already put on teams and committed to clubs by the time SSC has their tryouts.The only players SSC is going to get is players that only intend on playing there.Why?
Because this is a condition for being in the alliance.As far as an alliance..I could count the JI players on one hand.This program was set up because SSC players were not going to Mt Pleasant and Mt Pleasant players were not going to SSC.
But,here is a new club with different colors and we practice in Summerville and Mt Pleasant.
This was done to compete with Cesa .My hats off to Cesa for bringing everyone into the fold..not just challenge players.
What does Bridge have to do with Volunteers? There are kids from Georgia and N Carolina out there.How much time are they putting in.My hats off to all the volunteers at SSC.God bless them and the kids could not play without them.
And Belligerent.I am shutting up now and putting up at a club that supports all the players.
No need to reply..we are both soccer parents who sees things differently.
And let's get back to the CSC/Nesca merger
