some good points raised here, "juvefever", I do agree with some of your points, and can understand that angle from some parents point of view. even you guys that suggest the roster system, in the perfect world that is the answer, but in reality it never works, the same few parents putting ...

im thinking along the same lines as "socca", is it just easier that everyone pay an extra fee at the start of the season, and pay something to some club appointed volunteers, to ensure that every week you know there is someone there to get the job done. some people might complain about thi...

just putting this out there, having been on both sides of the fence (club official and volunteer), who is right or wrong. a lot of clubs have issues with lack of parent help on game day, as a club official this is frustrating and upsetting. but on the other hand as a parent on the sidelines, talking...

How are age groups determine......eg....if they played in Under 15 in outdoor this year would they trial in under 15's? And where are the trials being held?

I thought I had this figured out.....however, after speaking to someone, they have said that the under 17 league will be a JSL league regardless of where your senior team play. I have also heard if your clubs senior team is in the premier league, your juniors will all (including your b teams who are...

My boys play at Metro and we travel 35 minutes up and back. Whilst I agree this is not possible for some and perhaps some may not be willing to drive those distances, one of my boys played in the b division for 4 out of 5 years at the club. Whilst opportunities were presented at the end of almost ev...

I have tried reading the discussions on this forum re the U17s next year. The more I read the more confused Im becoming. In very simple terms can someone tell me first....is there an u17s next year and secondly will they all be playing in the JSL. Cheers

U15JPL Metro 2 v Comets 1.....Well fought game.

well White City don't mind how many Metro players drove out the carpark, because 97% of thier team come in one car and the other three I saw myself drive out with the coaching staff, and they were in back seats, so I will let you continue to accuse Metro because everyone knows that WC team drive in...

I am more :shock: that you actually measured them....Junior soccer at it's best. Would you sign an affidavit to that effect? Junior soccer at it's worst. No affidavit on this occasion however, please advise the week before you play at our home ground we will do a match day wind speed report and ins...

Sorry, the size of the goals are the reasons for draws? We are talking Junior Football, when a team wins, no complaints about the goal size, they'll take the win, however, if they happen to lose or draw....its the 200mm that made all the difference. Getting a tad silly I think, we've lost and won on...

Even if this is the case, the goals are the same size for both teams, I am sure that Adelaide City have won games on this pitch before......and the point is what....

Whats wront with the goals?

Under 15 JPL
Metro 2 v Adelaide City 0

Sorry won't post on the other thread.....

Metrostars JPL 2 v Metrostars JSL 0

Cheers!

15-18

So which coach is mopar?

Good to know whats available

Can anyone help..........is there a website that lists vacancies at various clubs?

Just wondering how is the draw done......Last year Metro had 2 teams at this stage and they played each other as well......is this so clubs only have one team in the comp or just freakish co-incidence.

Not into bagging people but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!.......after seeing the coaches list for next years Nationals.....if this is what you call cleaning out the rubbish, please please please!!!!!

What happened last year involved a few not the whole club. Lets also remember that there are new volunteers/coaches every year who may not be familiar and genuine mistakes can happen (which is probably what happened in this case......we are talking about Under 13's and I am sure that they would not ...

I've made my point let the issue get resolved in the correct avenues!

I take it you agree with this moronic behavior.......I have called him those things...he is what he is! By the way he also had a go at the ref.....we are all entitled to our opinion you can agree, disagree I couldn't care..if you think this is acceptable well that's up to you.

Not sure if its a win at all cost mentality, however, to abuse anyone who is running the line let alone a 16 year old, is disgraceful. I will wait to see if our club is going to take any action.....if not then Ill name who he is

The lad that was abused was 16 and was running the line for the under 15 JPL team....sorry if I confused you.

Not sure if I can say on here but its an under 15 jpl side

My posts are normally diplomatic, certainly not malicious and I like reading the forum to catch up on whats happening around the place............BUT........... today I saw the ugliest display from a coach I have ever seen. Called a 16 year old lad a cheat and a little prick after being 1 nil up. Th...

Now, I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, however, to 'play' football (soccer), it doesn't have to be an expensive excersise. Yes playing Fed football is obviously more costly, but lets consider that there are other alternative such and E & D. It seems that there is always a wining that we can't...
