As I told all of you two weeks ago, and you have since seen the thread that indicates that Largo United "the crown jewel" of Pinellas Soccer has merged forces with West Florida club to create the strongest alliance in Pinellas County. Largo Unied wil lcontinue to provide a family friendly club, with the most outstanding training facility in the county, as well as some of the best training in Pinellas. This merger allows Largo United to continue to grow, as well as providing an excellent partner that will provide an additional outlet of training for our talented teams. This further strengthens the strength of the club and allows us to continue to be the best facility for soccer in Central and Southern Pinellas County.

I look forward to the official announcement on the website. Until then it's just a rumour.Good luck with those higher fees and nothing to show for them.

Two mergers in the last two years. Really shows how insignificant this club really is, and desparate for survival and grabbing at anything that will keep money in the Sousa family. Good luck keeping players when the parents are already gripping about the current fees. Wait till they start paying the same fees others are paying.

Why would anyone go to Clearwater? They are struggling just to get teams up and running on the girls side. They don't have a U15 team, the U14 team is horrid and they are struggling with the lower ages. The coaching with the Chargers on the girls side is brutal...you would think they would dedicate some funds to fix the girls teams issues, but the Chargers are only interested in greasing the D.O.C. pockets.

On the other hand, virtually all posters understand that any claim that the Chargers SC is only interested in greasing its DOC's pockets is so absurd that is difficult to accept anything else contained in the same post with other than a grain of salt.
The girls side of the Chargers SC had 11 teams which played in State Cup. 7 of those Chargers SC girls teams played so well as to move on to the next round or on to the Round of 16 for State Cup.
The days of small youth soccer clubs have passed. Only the larger clubs can offer players an opportunity to play in the best of the best leagues.
The top-tier and dedicated Pinellas County female soccer players should try to make an ECNL team at VSI WFF. If those players aren't fortunate enough to make, or don't wish to to dedicate that much time or expense to, an ECNL team, then the Chargers SC offers those Pinellas County girls the next best playing opportunities.

Truth: Yes, this is true, but the Clearwater based Chargers do not have a U15 girls program and their U14 team is poorly coached.

Fact: Chargers have unusually high rates for soccer in Pinellas county, they have facilities that are outdated and leave alot to be desired. It is well known that the club has a ton of graft that goes on within the inner circle.
The girls side of the Chargers SC had 11 teams which played in State Cup. 7 of those Chargers SC girls teams played so well as to move on to the next round or on to the Round of 16 for State Cup.
Reality: None of these teams are threats to win the title or even to advance to the final four. All three U14 teams were destroyed in the State Cup. THe only U15 team is located too far away for Pinellas girls to play at.
The days of small youth soccer clubs have passed. Only the larger clubs can offer players an opportunity to play in the best of the best leagues.
Fiction: Many of the small clubs are actually thriving, they are adding competitive teams each year and have avoided gouging parents. The Chargers competitive team on the girls side are pretty much equal with the smaller clubs. I agree that WFF upper teams are much better than the smaller clubs in the area, but Clearwater girls program have declined.

No doubt that WFF is the greatest girls program in the county! Chargers fields in CLearwater are nasty, McMullen Booth has no parking, the bathrooms need condemned, the fields have nasty stagnant water lying all around. The Eddie Moore fields are a joke, they run doenhill, are poorly maintained and not made for competitive or rec soccer. DiMaggio is a landmine with rocks, trash and holes. David Martin has the bathrooms welded shut, you have to get in your car and drive down Gulf to Bay to use the restroom at the gas station. On the way to the field you will be asked for change at least five times by hobos, and there are syringes on the ground throughout the park.
