My daughter played club for nine years in SC, the last several years of that in PL. What can I say about those teams? The last two years she was on the PL team with the lowest goals against both years, but throughout all nine years, it SEEMS we could not score as well as other teams.
Now with some distance and time to think, I believe the reality is that SC teams�even the best ones, even though we are gaining ground�are still simply behind other states. Thus, it is simply harder to score. When you are a weaker state, it is possible to coach defensive and be successful as compared to try to "catch up" by being offensive. Does that make sense?
Coaches in SC clubs know we are still behind so I believe most of them do focus on being solid defensively somewhat to the exclusion of offense. I think that is best for our teams to have success. But frustrating for fans. . .
