If that's not possible, then maybe an area with an indoor and outdoor team so we won't have to move so often. There is a downside, though. If club finances are not strong, a player could get shipped out and forced to honor the second year of a contract in an undesirable situation. A one-year contract gives players a say in where and under what conditions they want to play. Successful clubs are starting to offer education services to players to help them with careers after their playing days are done.
Spirit points to Charleston as an example.
If you ask any of those players, they will tell you that they are very happy with that situation. Charleston has done a great job of taking care of the players and their families. They are also impressed with the progress that has occurred at the Raleigh Express over the past year. The coaching staff and management have really started to turn things around here. The team is a lot better, and there s so much soccer potential in this area.
