>>[Hurst66] Let's just make sure that we still have people out there serving the lower end of the market (rec & underpriviledged) so that we can continue to grow the beautiful game in South Carolina. It's easy to forget when all the dollars and recognition are associated with the high end.<<

I thought that helping underprivileged kids was outlawed by the SCYSA. [Smile]

More seriously, I have not a clue as to what CESA's strategy will be beyond what it has done in the past in this area. My hope is that they'll announce an alliance [not a partnership] with CRSA soon to do the same thing that they were talking about in their previous outlawed arrangement.

The larger integrated clubs, such as CESA, CUFC, MPSC, CFC, etc. seem to be in the best position to make initiatives in this area because they should have higher cash flows and be able to take advantage of scale as well as offering many different programs.
