One of the reasons that you will hear this accusation is because CESA has "access" to most of the best players in the state. CESA has qualified coaches who put in the time coaching ODP teams, successful high school teams and conducting "open" training sessions. CESA teams are always represented in the finals of State Cup so their coaches are visible here and at competitive tournaments throughout the southeast.

Can this be considered recruiting.....no. But it certainly gives CESA a competitive advantage in attracting some of the best talent in the state.

I like Chico's idea though. Let's go the extra mile and find the extraordinary kids that everyone might have missed. CESA is the one club in the state that has the resources to overcome some of these socio-economic barriers.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
