In response to other emails about the Bridge FA/Mt. Pleasant topic.
Word from those-in-the-know out of the Lowcountry is that after a series of meetings and negotiations between presidents and DOCs (from Bridge FA, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, Charleston United and James Island) in the last few weeks, all sides agreed to the Bridge FA concept and structure for Challenge and Premier teams in the Lowcountry.
However, the Mt. Pleasant Rec. Dept said "no" to it's soccer coordinator, the MPSC president and the MPSC DOC. Don't know if that decision effects Charleston United as well??
So, Bridge FA growth will continue without Mt. P Rec. Dept. support and will roll with it's upcoming field expansion as well as addition of teams, programs and coaching staff.
Still, a bunch of good players, current and in-the-making, that are part of programs that can't offer them the level they need due to lack of coaches and other top players.
