Rock Hill, SC, 14th January 2013;  Carolina Premier Soccer (CPS) and Discoveries Soccer Club are excited to announce a partnership that has been established to enhance the player development opportunities for players in Carolina and mutually benefit the programs and goals of both organizations.

CPS is the latest entity within the Global Premier Soccer (GPS) network (zadarcityofsport.eu) that includes franchises in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Florida, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont. CPS will work alongside the current staff and board of Discoveries to further the club as the leading organization in the territory. Discoveries and CPS will immediately focus on developing the best players in the region and developing teams that can compete on a regional and national level.

“Discoveries are already respected as a leader in South Carolina,” said CPS Director of Soccer Paul Baber. “By combining resources and creating new programming across the whole of Carolina, we hope to further Discoveries’s brand and raise the level of player development within the state.”

Commencing in January 2013, CPS will bring the Soccer school Model to Carolina to work with players aged 3-6 years old.   CPS will also work with  Discoveries to launch CPS Discoveries Junior Academy Program to various locations throughout Carolina for players aged U8-U12.  Players will enter an integrated system from an early age with a clear development pathway, working with professionally licensed coaches and an age appropriate curriculum. This will lead to an improved player development system and the appropriate development environment for these players.

“We were first attracted to a partnership with CPS as we saw the impact that Global Premier Soccer has had in Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, New York and New Hampshire” said Discoveries Executive Director David Carton. “The relationship with GPS will add quality coaches to our staff strengthen our club administration and provide a greater variety of programs for our players throughout the whole state”.
