Contact your Directors of Coaching at Bridge, CUSC, SSC, Mt Pleasant, and James Island. The club boards do not fully understand what quality soccer should be like. Most of these people, with all good intention, there vision is very short sighted to the term that they serve.
The low country has too much talent to not be fully represented by quality teams at the youth club soccer level. High School leagues are dominated by teams from the low country boys and girls. CESA has set the standard and Columbia has done a great job getting its house in order.
Is it about the soccer or not. The season has not started as yet; don’t let another year pass you by.
I think that the clubs have done a great job developing the young talents, but it requires unity for the kids to fully achieve the successes that they deserve as they get older. By that I mean more exposure to top competitions, higher levels of training, more competitive teams being formed at the local level.
Parents stop giving away more money to organizations that promises high level challenge soccer and don’t deliver. Clubs stop stealing the parent’s money with false promises. It only creates resentment and turns the players and parents to clubs outside of Charleston.
My kids would be too old to play club ball with a truly unified team in Charleston at the rate we are going. One step forward two steps back.
