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 g...

Matthew, To say you are glad to see the back of people who left the club including development coaches is a very toxic statement. Some of those people did nothing but good things for the club and only had the clubs welfare as a priority. In fact without some of those people the club would not be wha...

Did not do so well this week against Raiders though Bluechook. Where as all those boys that left Metros to go to Adelaide City, Croydon and Modbury Jets all had wins and are now above Metros in the league. The sad thing Is if the club had retained those players and with some of the players you still...

What is going on at Metrostars with their Juniors. This season their U17 JPL did league and cup double and their U15 JPL did league and cup double. But hearing stories of lots of these players all leaving the club. Must be serious if they can not keep this talent at the club.

Metrostars are also pleased to announce our Junior coaches for 2020 Under 12 JPL Head Coach - Paul Spalding Under 12 JPL Assistant Coach - Wade MacDonald Under 12 JSL Red Head Coach - Angelo Giuffreda Under 12 JSL Red Assistant Coach - Bruno Tucci Under 12 JSL Yellow Head Coach - Brenton Binder Unde...

Impossible to grade U11's. 6 divisions and clubs have multiple teams across divisions. Not to mention new players coming in and players leaving at end of season. Would be absolute guess work. I agree with you that is why i thought the FFSA did the grading during the U12 season but a lot of coaches ...

I have heard that the FFSA may grade the U11's this year mid way through the season. This would mean they would already have them grade for JPL next year so that they would not have to do it at U12's half way through the season. Has anyone else heard this? Does it have merit to do it this year inste...

Anyone seen any draft league structures for U11 yet?

By the way, I heard that White City didn't nominate their u10 players (Cassio's team) into SAP programme last year Of course he would not want them doing SAP because it would clash with them training at his academy and then he would lose money. maybe that’s why he lost some players at the end of la...

North Sap was a bit of a joke - either coaches standing around drinking coffees or been talked to like a kid at school - when we played Eastern we got thrashed and there was no direction by the coaches. The only good thing is that the kids stayed fit and made new friends. The SAP program is not int...

U11 SAP for my son this year was waste of time. Just saying. Definitely not doing it next year. No intensity, trying to bring strong kids' level down to average, not the average kids up. Games were barely coached, some "privileged" kids never been rotated from striking position. 2-3 sessi...

i know a lot of clubs at U12 and above who have started pre season training in either October or November, so seems to be normal. However we need to remember that these kids still need a break and recovery times as they i still growing and developing. If you are only training one day a week at the m...

I know Metrostars do and believe Adelaide Olympic and Adelaide City both do as well

Definitely depends on the club, i know some clubs do but there are a lot that do not.

Suppose it depends on how much the club value its coaches and wanting them to improve their coaching knowledge.
