I wouldn't take much stock in what the schedule says right now. My son's team plays 3/21 in Atlanta as well. If you have been in SCCL or SCCL-P long enough, you realize how quickly the game dates and times can change without much notice. I assume that his game that is scheduled in Atlanta will get moved to another date. It has to get moved. If you are playing SCCL-P, yes your schedule will most likely change. If you are playing SCCL it most likely won't. There aren't many open dates remaining on the calendar to makeup games before the end of the season. Looking at our schedule, if you block off Easter Sunday and the weekends book ending Spring Break, I believe we have 1 open weekend date before SCCL Cup in May. Of course they can schedule after SCCL Cup, but then you are talking about Memorial Day weekend or the weekend just prior to tryouts. Our coach has already told us not to expect any additional tournaments this spring because there just aren't any dates remaining. He also told us if we have rain cancellations, we might need to makeup the games during the week...I see there are already some SCCL games scheduled on Wednesday & Friday nights. I know schedules can change, and typically do. However, this year there just aren't many dates available to shuffle things around much. Oh I agree. I think I saw 1 maybe 2 weekends or weekend days open before SCCL cup for our team as well. Agree with tournaments as well. SCCL cup will swallow up all availability for any other tournament, and I assume really that was probably by design to keep the money in house instead of elsewhere. |

Yeah. I agree that they are swallowing up weekends that our teams could participate in during the month of May. Last year my daughter's team went to the TNI tournament in Nashville and had a great time and faced some good competition. However, this year it is the weekend of May 9-10 and that is the first weekend of the SCCL cup. That is one thing that Georgia Soccer got right was leaving state cup to the last full weekend of May and the first weekend of June for those who proceeded on.
Another point of view is that people have complained about State Cup being Memorial Day weekend which causes families to have to stay in town during that weekend so maybe this is a relief for some to have the tournament before the holiday weekend.

Where are you getting that information because everything our SCCL Director and coach is saying is that it is in Greenville, SC, and I am pretty close to both those people in our club. |

From our club director. The event is being hosted by South Carolina United FC. Does that actually mean their fields or that they are just "hosting" it? That is an hour more travel time than if it was at Greenville/Spartanburg as far as travel time. |

No one at AFU indicates they know anything about it (just like in the fall).
I have no idea who at the club SHOULD know/be updated about this stuff. Would be nice to know that info (who is the rep to SCCL). Perhaps there is an un-monitored email address?

He is the point of contact for SSA SCCL and should know all, but I don't believe he has this info either. I assume AFU has a similar director? So whatever club has this info must know people at SCUFC. I don't think any other club knows any info yet, and I guess the Greenville, SC location was just conjecture when we were told that. |

Would be nice to know that info (who is the rep to SCCL). Perhaps there is an un-monitored email address? At AFU I would ask the coach first. If he/she doesn't have info, I would go to Garth or Mirza. If they don't know anything then I would say the club hasn't been informed of anything specific. If you want to go direct to SCCL, the below is from the Contact Us section of the SCCL website. Contact Us Sean Carey Southeastern Club Champions League League Director sean@southeasternccl.com |

I will say 2 1/2 weeks out and no info on even what venue to all clubs playing is not a good thing. People need to be able to make plans and book hotel rooms. People don't need exact schedules just ballpark area of where the fields will be.

I thought this league was "by clubs, for clubs".
Ask your DOCs. If they don't know, or can't tell you then this league is just more bureaucracy. Wait until the league grows.

I think the difference/issue here is coordination, not bureaucracy. The leagues basically run themselves, clubs schedule game weekends. A tournament is an event that requires coordination and leadership. I'm not sure there's someone on the ball there.

A tournament is an event that requires coordination and leadership. I'm not sure there's someone on the ball there. That's quite a game of Twister you've got going on. Is it by clubs, for clubs? By leagues, for clubs? By clubs, for players? By Sean Carey, for DOCs? Bureaucracy is not elected. Does that sound like GA Soccer leadership? They are elected. Sounds more like club DOCs or the SCCL commissioner. But I dont think you are being literal. By bureaucracy you mean leadership who bumble through multiple tournaments. That sounds like.... |

Does that Sean guy even do anything? My understanding is that he's just a figurehead and "runs" some other leagues out of state also. I thought all the league decisions were actually made at meetings of club reps, without the bureaucracy of having a true "staff", but don't know any of that for sure. As such, the scheduling of a tournament/showcase may be getting lost in the shuffle. Who makes decisions for venue/hiring refs, yada, yada, no idea. Other leagues he "runs": New England: www.newenglandpremiership.com/board-of-directors.htmlDPL: usssasoccer.com/2019/08/02/usssa-to-sanction-nationwide-development-player-league-starting-this-fall/So I think the answer to the question is by clubs, for clubs. But without a leadership body, sometimes people don't get things done. Works well for a club-centric league, but for scheduling joint tournaments...maybe not... And by bureaucracy I mean the layers of delegation and administration that can be useful in planning/coordination. There is no such hierarchy evident here. |

Im honestly not sure why your clubs are not giving you information in a timely manner. We get all information from our directors.
Btw, schedules are posted
