I have never been a fan of trials but I do understand why clubs need them. But I have heard a club calling a parent whose kid made it at another club and paid their deposit to come over to their club, even offered the parent to reimburse them the deposit.!! WOW, for juniors!!! We lost two players ...

As far as I know at Metrostars everyone pays a deposit to trial to stop time wasters rolling up. If you miss the cut, deposit is then refunded. Those that make it have their deposit credited against their fees. Incorrect. No deposit needed to trial. You pay a deposit once you are selected after the ...

They are lying to you. That’s the official trial handout provided to everyone who registered.

Not sure how much more official document you would want.

Or maybe it’s easier to just bash clubs with false information as usual.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you say so… it’s 2.5k plus kit too 🤣 I guess you cant read :clown: :clown: For the U12-17 players, that equates to $8 per hour, but if you take out all the items like kit, referee fees, club fees, ground hire, operational costs etc, its likely be to $2-3 per hour for just the training sessio ...

Fake news, another person spreading misinformation trying to get our players and parents offside.

The fees are a 3% CPI increase from last season, nowhere near 2.5k

At least we know who this person is now that he has mentioned Danny by name and target just him, because we all know the one person who had an issue. Anyways, things have been great so far this preseason, the club continues to go up and up, and no longer have those people who just whinged and ...

Im happy to see the back of some people, who decided to leave, bag the club, but yet were happy taking lots of money to be development coaches etc at the club over the years. The club will be fine, and going into a direction of younger players in U18s and Reserves is the best step right now. Your ...

Ivan reappointed for 2 years.

sportsbird and BTK to spend another 2 years wringing. Won’t be good for their health.

In the local league forum, someone posted that junior fees for under 6 are $1035. It was posted in a topic concerning metrostars players re-signing. I guess this is what metro charges? As a matter of interest, on average, what to other clubs charge? When people like yourself gazza stopped ...

Yes your right. I was stirring.

We are in Division 4.

Sunday Premier Division

The MetroStars family will grow larger in 2020 as the club announces it will enter two teams in next year's South Australian Amateur Soccer League. MetroStars President Rob Rende first made the announcement at the club's Senior Presentation night. To support continued growth in demand for senior ...

Didnt take long for the cheesecakeshop to get a new role

What was the outcome of the tribunal last night?

Soccer will be a major part of the Bowden redevelopment also along Bonython Park and Park B27.

I thought you were up to date with all the council happenings.

......most of the more successful and bigger clubs will be running second teams in each age group as a gateway & opportunity for all kids at those clubs to play in the elite competition...... Metros already announced cutting at least two teams this year - expect others to follow. Clueless again. My ...

fair point ill accept that. so if i go and speak to some parents and coaches in a year will i hear that things are being run well, the fees are reasonable and being re-invested etc etc if not then shiraz them. if you dont know how to try and run your club properly then get out of the game You ...

Unfortunate for players who wished to stay at Metros but will now need to find new clubs unless they make the PL team. I guess Metrostars is trying to manage space and resources, and maybe decided to focus efforts on top level players. There will be a revenue loss if say 45 players leave but maybe ...

Ah the boys/girls from tk shutter. Can't even get the line marking right. A shiraz shemozle. And they think they set the standards. George has been doing the lines for over a decade now. the council marks the pitches initially and then the club marks the pitch throughout the season. We had an issue ...

why do coaches continue on taking players from other clubs and tell them that they will play every game Because they are cabernet coaches covering their own flaws with good players. Totally agree mers. On the other hand, when will players smart up and realise that no coach can guarantee you a ...

One of our players went to see this Chinese bloke that tears the hamstring off the bone to repair it. The player was back fit in 2 weeks and played a huge part in our League and Cup championships and has been fine every since. It was very painful but to be fit in 2 weeks it was a good turn around ...

Currently at the T20 match at Adel Oval so far seen 7 people evicted for drunkness and about 3 spectator fights one involving 6 spectators.

You won't hear that in the news tomorrow.

From the FFSA?

Maybe he should concentrate on actually running the Men's game and getting it right before actually coaching.

Apparently Toros are offering free fees to their juniors next season. Brave decision.

Hope they have around $150k and the rest to cover all the costs.

..... The previous coach made a mistake, and paid for it with his job. Enjoy, and remember Karma, it has a funny way of coming around! OK, you want to keep things going that's fine. What still seems incredible is that no one at Metros apparently knew what was going on, even the Junior Coordinator ...

johnydep, why do you insist on people still to talk about the incident. Why dont you just worry about Croydon Kings, rather then reposting all the time in the other topic, about the Metro incident. We are already embarrased, and the people who were involved in this incident have left our club, and ...

There would only be maybe a dozen clubs who have access to their ground more than 10 months a year.

Then you have all the postponed fixtures. It would be a nightmare.

The best players are already training and playing with development and state squads.
