Let me clear up a few things. It seems the CESA folks want to find a conspiracy behind every corner.
I have the up most respect for Andrew and the way he handles things. Since being on the SCYSA board I have become to respect him even more as a business man and a soccer coach. My implication about everyone following him, has nothing to do with him being a soccer coach but being a great business man and leader, by not allowing parents or coaches to distract CESA from its goals of providing soccer to the youth in the upstate. Leadership like that is needed at all the clubs to help things come into line. I watched as Chapin Soccer first and then CSC, one or two parents where able to distract the entire club with complaining and stirring up things. Both those clubs had a hard time letting loose the bad apple for the greater good of the club. Andrew seems to able to make those business decisions.
Chico I am going to quote everything and to the detail because I do not have time. But I do not think CESA has done anything wrong with the formation of CESA-Columbia or else I would have reported. I only wanted to qualify the distinction between a training site and a fully formed and nothing more. I only made the scenario to help GSDad understand the difference between a club leaving and a parent leaving, again nothing more.
Fields at hard for EVERY club in the Midlands.
I said fractured only to supply a reason why CESA-Columbia might want to merge with CUFC and not Lexington. Nothing more. Competition is great for the Midlands but it is factual that CESA-Columbia will be pooling from some of the same players as CUFC because they are about 6 miles from each other. I thought the word "if" was showing I was trying to supply a fictional scenario to help explain my statement. I find scenario sometimes help with understanding but it was fictional and nothing else.
Chico, I have no bias against CESA or you. We have sparred over the years but it seems that you took it very personal at some point. I apologize to you and your family for anything that I may have said that you felt harmful enough to always attack me before trying to understand the context of what I am writing. I feel that information is good for the greater community but being attacked at every turn makes it hard.
