One other note. The Fort Mill/Rock Hill area differs considerably from Lexington with respect to the boys versus the girls. the Charlotte option is very attractive for the girls all the way through U-18.
For the boys, playing in Charlotte becomes a real problem at U-15 because of the high school soccer conflict (NC HS boys soccer in the fall, NCYS club in the spring).
While, for the reasons you mention above, we would all like to see both our girls and boys play their club soccer in South Carolina, it is not as big an issue for the girls as it is for the boys.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
