Re: Junior trials discussion -
Just a question to parents re trials: What are your thoughts if your son/daughter was selected in a selection process that didn't distinguished a JPL team from a JSL team prior to making deposits? - Until the season started...??

Re: S.A. CLUBS: Junior registration / Youth trials ALL DETAI
So you think a child should only be able to trial at a club and play for his first choice team? How ridiculous. Parents have lots to consider when finding a club distance from their home, standard of coaching, fees, nights they train. Then if you have more one child what to do if one gets accepted ...

Re: S.A. CLUBS: Junior registration / Youth trials ALL DETAI
Why is nearly every club trialling on September 21? If you don't trial on the first night with most clubs you don't have a chance. How are kids supposed to get a fair go when most clubs trial on the same night?? Totally agree with you the whole system of junior trials gets worse every year. i think...

Re: Best Junior Coach
Diego Pellegrino - as a coach to develop players, he's really good - treats all kids evenly and changes his training drills every time - he's great with the kids - I heard metro stars under 13s are pretty good - they poach players( 2 African boys)- that's not good coaching when you rely on 2 player...

Re: Best Junior Coach
There are many very good coaches out there and the best ones usually go about doing their job quietly. The best coaches are the ones that teach, develop and inspire their players and make a material improvement in their players over the course of the season. That may be the coach that takes a team ...

Re: Good Coaching Bad Coaching
Just an observation: Some of the best coaches I have had and know are teachers with a football background. Something common among them all is they never told me to go about one way of doing something. They challenged me by asking questions and forced me to think.

Re: Good Coaching Bad Coaching
Is it possible to coach kids if you have never played and how beneficial is it to have coaches that have played at a decent level If you have good communication skills and are willing to learn, of course you can. However, i believe that if you have played at a decent level you have more insight int...

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Matty I think you're spot on suggesting we should be promoting youth to senior set ups early however, just to clarify, are you suggesting the U18's league be made of predominantly U14's?

Re: Has the standard of U18's gone backwards
Maybe its harder to get into a premier league reserve grade side than it is a middle of the road state league 1st team . Maybe one day your club have the chance to prove me wrong but I doubt it as u looked assured of State League again next season just depends which 1. Maybe Premier League clubs ha...

Re: Fed players in SAASL
Who cares? I don't know who has been doubling up but I'll take a pot shot and bet most are unrecognised quality at Federation level. If they were special, they wouldn't be doubling up. By the way, there are players who are easily still capable of playing premier league that play amateurs e.g. Lee Ro...
