CESA, Carolina Elite Soccer Academy

2010:

Folks, Again CESA is dominating play in the state of South Carolina and doing quite well regionally and nationally.  It would take me pages to put all their accomplishments from last year but if you really want to know what the buzz is all about go to their site at carolinaelitesoccersc.com.  By the way I shoot a ton of sports and if you'd like you team or player photographed just give me a call and I'll be glad to help.  864-335-8490.  Hey, here's a little fun video from a couple of years ago as the girls prepared for state playoffs to get them a little motivated.  Have fun and ..... PLAY ON!

2009:

CESA, otherwise known as Carolina Elite Soccer Academy.  Where do I begin?  Let's try about 14 years or so ago when I got involved with St. Giles Soccer Club.  My oldest son started there.  I jumped in a few years  later and coached my middle son's team for years.  My little girl got in and many games later St. Giles merged with Greenville Futbol Club.  Man let me tell you, was that a rivalry at one time.  Somehow it all came together peacefully though and CESA, Carolina Elite Soccer Academy began.    

Greenville SC soccer has grown throughout the years and the formation of CESA has helped tremendously.  So if you want the best and most competitive club to join in South Carolina, CESA is it.  There's two different levels of competition so there's a place for everyone.  Soccer is such a fantastic sport to grow a kids confidence and fitness level.  Boy, I wish we would have had it where I grew up.  I surely would have chosen soccer over football.

Pearse Tormey and Andrew Hyslop are the co-directors.  They both coach as well.  Pearse is a graduate of my alma marter Clemson and played on the 1987 national championship team.  Andrew played professional soccer with the Columbia Heat and Carolina Shamrocks.

Andrew also coaches my daughters  team.  Here is a list of their accomplishments for the past year.
