The initial SCP team was the 2007 grad team which began in 2002 as a 13U team. It was a result of my taking over a 12U team; the Pineville Panthers. That team was a split of rising 13U and 12U and the coaches were 12U dads who wanted to keep their sons on the small fields one more year. I agreed to help out for a year and then turn the team back over to them the next. We changed the name soon after to South Charlotte Panthers to help broaden our footprint for players.
