Would have to be a conflict of interest, surely!

What's next, Japanese Prime Minister heads up Save The Whales Foundation

But hasn't this been the stance since day 1 that the FFSA has said it wants an amateur competition and the first preference was to bring the current amateur competition in to cover that. If for any reason the current amateur association didn't join up then the FFSA would go alone would have been ...

Re the potential shortage of referees, my understanding is the referee associations have or will become affiliated with the FFSA and then will only referee at matches of similar affiliated organisations, which would currently exclude Amateurs, EDJSA and SDJSA.

When you're playing a cup round, obviously a stronger team and up ten goals max what's wrong with throwing the defenders - including the goal keeper - up forward and limiting your normal midfielders and forwards to the defensive half. Play for possession is another option - no shots on goal just ...

Mr Right, I have seen some other constitutions which do not have such bye-laws, but the football federation of australia does, and the football federation of south australia abides by ffa rules. Even though associations such as the hills allow it, without an exemption from the ffa, basically its ...

Mr Right, yes it is in the constitution. Bye-law 5 (a) (ii) No player registered with the E & D.J.S.A may register or play for any other Junior Soccer Association except in accordance with bye-law 5 (a) (iii). Bye-law 5 (a) (iii) Players may be registered and play with a School Registered ...

You can play for a school team and an association team, i.e federation team or e&d team, but you cannot play for a fed team on a sunday and an e&d team on a saturday. This is an archaic ruling and totally contradictory. I asked Frances Bedford MP, who passed it on to the State Minister of Sport ...

I've carried a digital SLR into Hindmarsh in a camera bag backpack which was checked by security on the way in so they saw the camera and lenses and let them in. Front row on the western side and taking lots of pictures with officials and players well aware of the camera presence and not one word or ...

Have heard a few clubs are not happy with losing players to a 2008 Under 14 team south of the city where the coach was Zone coach in 2007 how ever to say they were "poached" may not be the case at all.

How do you define "poaching"?

Playford coaches 2008 under 11s :Tony Partridge under 12s: Joe Mcgregor under 13s: Kieran Smith Under 14s: Coach Still Required under 15s: Karin Hutchinson Under 16s: Roy Baines under17A: Tony Baxter under17B: Stuart Tyerman { Pending} under 19s: Bill Davidson Reserves: Andy O'Malley Seniors: Earl ...

Zeljko, Firstly, if you are not going to replace any of your players then why put them through the trauma of a trial in the first place, especially at such a young age? It is also misleading and giving false hope to anyone outside the team who turns up to trial. Secondly, if you are playing Under 8 ...

My first year of coaching last year, have a small boy for his age first year of playing, technically can kick a ball, control, dribble etc. But in games, like playing with a player short, very timid, too scared to go in due to being intimidated by the 'bigger' boys, frustrating for me. He is a nice ...

Clubs, and coaches for the clubs need to ask themselves a question; "Is our task to build winning teams or developing the players?" Because these are two very different things! But you can do both at the same time. Did you see the State National Championships? Have you seen the DVD Player ...

Apparently is good for the other local clubs, I heard Seaford has picked up an extra two teams in three age groups who have trialled so far, where South Adelaide has dropped at least one.

Seaford's costs are about half of South Adelaide too.

Thanks Gremio,

What about the makeup of B and C leagues?

Can anybody advise how the 2008 Under 13 leagues will be determined from the results of the 2007 Under 12s North East 1 & 2 and South West 1 & 2?

Agree with 1/. Agree with 2/ but think part of Junior development is playing the best possible competition which wouldn't necessarily be achievable if all age groups were zoned. I am happy to travel to get the better competition to develop the players. Super league clubs may pay higher fees however ...

I can't agree that a team should be in the "A" league because the individuals have paid more money. The "A" League should consist of the best teams no matter which club they belong to. When players are growing out of the Junior League, then they need to decide whether to stay loyal to their ...

I prefer the A Group to consists of teams that mirror the senior teams from the Best League. These clubs charged at least double of the non Best League clubs and so you want to get your moneys worth by playing in the highest league possible. A lot of players are loyal to their club and they rather ...

Geez Admin, if you didn't like my shots all you had to do was say so

What age group ??

How do the cup teams get selected? Are all clubs invited?

who cares bout ref .. just continue on wif the game no matter wat .. in the end its gonna b the teams performance wether u win lose or draw ..so stop whinging bout it Yes you are correct about the teams performance wether you win lose or draw. But the referee in the match has a lot of control . One ...

Maybe its because these clubs are fielding U16 sides. Probably the JPL age group to watch out for this season. Stong sides entered by Adelaide City,ABE ,Modbury,SASI Girls. I had similar thoughts on another subject, next year would then be back to normal, could be good for retaining players longer ...

I wonder if more players are going out for the Under 16 league rather than straight to the Under 17 league from Under 15s, if so next year would have to be back to normal.

Regarding numbers I've heard (second hand) that it was a matter of players were ranked and then the question was "where do you draw the line?" If there was 50 good enough then 50 would get in.
