Coach China Maja’s 97 Black team captured the Classic I State Cup this weekend in Greenville SC. The 97 Black allowed only 1 goal over 4 matches played. The 97 Black team will represent Region III in the prestigious southern region tournament to be held in mid-june in Greensboro NC. The southern region event will consist of the 12 state champions from the southeast United States, with the winner advancing to the Nationals.

"This group of kids has been playing soccer from a very young age and all of their hard work and dedication has now paid off. It is a true testament to not only the players’ commitment level but also the parents’ commitment to the team" said Coach Maja.

Coast 00 Red

Coast 00 Black

Coach Raphael Carr completed the perfect weekend of soccer with both his Coast 00 Red and Coast 00 Black teams being crowned state champions. The Coast 00 Red squad posted a 4-0-0 record that included a thrilling 1-0 victory over rival DSC 00 Green to seal the championship. The boys scored 14 goals while allowing only 5 in their own net. The Coast 00 Black team was equally impressive on their way to the crown posting a 4-0-0 record as well. The Coast 00 Black team only allowed 3 goals in four matches while scoring 14 and capped off the championship with a hard fought 2-1 victory over a very talented Sumter club. "The future certainly looks bright for this age group at our club" said DOC Ross Morgan. After our next tournament these two teams will combine to play 11v11 in the Fall 2012 season a full year ahead of schedule. Coach Carr has done an outstanding job with both teams this year.

Coast 02 Red

The Coast U-10 and U-9 teams fell just short of state championships over the weekend with both teams losing close matches in the finals. Coach Luis Brenes Coast 01 Red team had to grind their way to the final match in a very competitive bracket. The team posted a 2-1-1 record for the event falling 1-3 to Clemson area CASA Orange in the state championship. The Coast 02 Red team coached by Pat Piscatelli went into the final match with a perfect 3-0-0 record with all matches being won in decisive fashion. A strong SCUFC team prevailed 3-2 in the final with our team bringing home the silver medal. "I am extremely pleased with our progress in the younger age groups at Coast. It is a true testament to our program when our small club captures two titles and two finalist trophies at State Cup" DOC Joel Banta said .

The Coast 02 Red team won the championship in the top flight of the U-9 division while going undefeated in this weekend’s Boys Rule Tournament in Savannah GA. The team scored a whopping 36 goals while allowing only 4 in Coach Pat Piscatelli’s debut as coach of our U-9 team. Great start to the season !

Our boys U-15 Challenge team at Coast FA qualified to play in the Region III Premier League next Fall in dramatric fashion at their State Cup Tournament held in Greenville South Carolina over the weekend.

Coast 96 Red started the tournament with a double overtime 1-0 win against SCUFC Palmetto in Columbia SC. The match ended 0-0 and was sent to PK’s where the boys prevailed 3-1. The semi finals opponent was Cesa 96 Premier ranked #9 in the country and the match was played on their home field in Greenville SC. After the match ended in regulation tied 2-2 the team completed a 20 minuite double overtime with no additional scoring. The match then went to PK’s where we came out on top 3-2 to send us to the State Championship against SCU/Mount Pleasant. We were forced to play the championship with only 11 players due to multiple injuries and came up short 1-4 versus a very talented Mount Pleasant team.

The team will now compete in the Region III Premier League next Fall against the State Cup champions and finalist from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Coast 96 Red team is one of only two squads from the Myrtle Beach area to ever achieve Premier League status with the other being the OSSOC 88 boys team.

Coach Joel Banta says, " the boys achievement is a direct reflection of their hardwork this season and in prior years. The parents and players have been dedicated to traveling and playing at a high level for numerous years and it has finally gotten this group to the next level. It will be a challenge playing in the premier league next fall but with proper preparation and dedication this group can have tremendous success! I am fortunate to have had a chance to experience this moment as a coach and hope the team can become stronger with this new opportunity".

The South Carolina Olympic Development Program or ODP, is the start of the identification process for the National and Olympic Teams. The South Carolina Youth Soccer Association conducts the program for US Soccer under the jurisdiction of the US Olympic Committee. The purpose of this prestigious program is to identify players on the basis of open tryouts and develop them to represent their state, region, and the United States in soccer competition.

At the state combine the players who will make up the South Carolina ODP State teams are selected. Those teams, made up of 18 players, then go and participate in the Region III ODP camp, which includes trainings and a tournament of the state teams. From this camp players can be selected as Regional Pool Players and are provided with the opportunities to represent the region in international (overseas trips) and National events. At the National events players are seen by National staff coaches and are eligible for National team selection.
